Should it be connected to electricity for heating, or it can be charged?

Sorry, it doesn't have charging capability. It only works while connected to electricity.What a great idea, I wish manufacturers would make them chargeable!

This is an electrical appliance. As a warmer for buffet style service, it is helpful to prepare your dishes and thenplace in the plugged in crock holder. It can also be used as a lazy susan with unheated foods, because the top turns.

it does not need electricity, it is gas. if it has an optional fan it will need 110v. fan is not necessary for normal operation.

I think ours must run about $30 a month and we live in a high electricity cost area. Friction heating ts a lot cheaper than using a heating element.

This is not a portable electric heater, it is designed to be permanently installed and comes with no wires. I bought the thermostat they recommend and installed it. You could wire a chord to it and plug it into a wall outlet if you buy the 120 Volt model. Be careful some require 240 volt power, just make sure you buy the right one.

I would go with an electric one if you want heat for a longer time period. I like this one because there is no cord to deal with.

The frame works only plugged in. It's not charged to run without being plugged in.

No, it needs to be plugged in. However, you can put it on a built in timer so that it is not always using electricity. This is a purchase that holds NO regrets for me. Use it everyday and bought one for our daughters with small children who say that it is invaluable for heating food quickly, warming baby bottles, etc.

No and I have found that it should be charged monthly whether you have used it or not. I bought mine to have for power outages and did not keep it charged. The batteries drained and I have to find new batteries. Hope this helps you.

U should charge it once per month. Never let it drained completely. We hooked ours to solar during the day. We don't charge it using AC power much

Don't buy this expecting it to be energy efficient. It will run your electric bill up. I am total electric and I use it on "flames only" most of the time for ambiance as it will easily increase your elec bill $20 to $30 a month if you use it often.

correct. It just needs to be charged occasionally. I do it over night so no wires hanging while in use.

Either. Charge it by plugging into a wall outlet, with a USB adapter or charge by plugging into your computer.

Yes it has to be charged solar or electrical charging . Not any battery charger will work , I would order charger with battery .

Heating only. If you read my review, I suggest you not trust this thermostat. My electric bill went through the roof.

According to the manual the unit can be left plugged in when it is not in use. If not left continuously plugged in it should be charged after each use and once a month otherwise.

I wouldn't recommend keeping one plugged in any longer than it needs to dry out. It does get warm and over time it might ruin the heating element; assuming there is one. But probably the bigger issue would be the wasted electricity. I hope this helps.

I don't have a bill to look at yet, but I bet its something like using an A/C alot. The little red part is a simple heater/fan with only two settings: on or off. Sorry can't give more info. I highly doubt the electricity cost comes close to the alternative, which I guess would be hiring a professional service to heat treat your things? And of course, I'd recommend wiping down, washing, or getting rid of anything you can, to keep the heat treating loads to a minimum.
