does it require electricity or is it fully propane powered?

The igniter is ported powered by electric. So it requires both electric and propane

You need to plug it in. There is a fan that blows past the flame to transfer the heat to the room. There is a safety device involved that will not let it start without electricity.

It requires electric---when you plug it in the spark plug automatically comes on. Push and hold the button and it turns on the gas.

Yes, it does require 110V. power. The igniter and the fan is electrically driven.

The one we have works without electric, it has an igniter similar to a gas grill.

Blower is optional purchase separately and needs to be installed. I am not exceptionally handy but made it fairly easily despite instructions that are faint and not translated very well. We have been very happy with stoves performance as supplental heat and backup for power outtages. Propane, at the moment is not competitive with electric. Our propane is $3.50 per gal. which is comparable to 27 Kws of electricty which costs us about $2.70. (based on BTUs). Do get the blower tho'. It makes a big difference.

No..it doesn't use ANY electricity. Works exclusively off of the heat from a stove burner.

My water heater was older and only had propane. Now it has electric and gas, I can dual run them but most of the time I use electric now. Which woks well! It takes more time to heat the water shower it is easer than moving the gas tanks all of the time, and relighting the pilot light every time I went to camp. Hope this helps you. I totally recomend the unit.

I would not attempt to use the unit without electricity. The unit works like a forced air heating system. You have the burner train and air is force through the flames to produce heat at the outlet.

It can use both. I have mine connected to direct natural gas but it came the equipment for propane too

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.

Does not require electricity, it has a fan that runs on 120VAC but is not necessary. It uses a AAA battery for ignition but can be lit with a match. Very good heater, safe and attractive. Very powerful so no recommended small spaces,

This heater doesn't require electricity to use but there is a blower inside of the grill that can blow hot air out. That blower requires electricity but is an optional feature and has an on/off/auto switch. I use it because it is very effective in moving air around the home. It has a white noise effect.

Electricity ONLY. I was mistaken by the search results and bought it thinking it was battery operated. Not a stupid question, the description is deceiving.

The unit is powered across the 12volt dc output of the converter which is connected to the battery terminals, consequently if you lose ac power to the converter the propane monitor is still being powered by the battery.

It is not needed to operate the refrigerator on propane. It is needed to operate on 120V electric (campground or generator).

It is electric. no gas involved at all, unless it is a different model than mine.
