It plugs in. But the one I got lasted for just over a year and then the power supply died. The frame just wouldn't turn on anymore. Definitely not a well made product.

It is electric and needs an outlet. I would suggest another brand though...

No, it does not plug into an outlet at all. It only uses batteries and plugs into the telephone jack.

The does not have a battery. It works with an adaptor that plugs into your regular wall outlet.

No outlet necessary. It runs on replaceable AAA batteries. It automatically shuts off the display after no movement in the pedals, and the LCD display appears when you start and keep pedaling.

This item doesn't have an internal battery. It has to be plugged in during operation.

You plug it in. I works pretty well. It has better power than the battery operated kind.

It has to be plugged in to work. No batteries, but has an on/off button. I have it sitting on top of some files in the lower part of my desk as it doesn't really radiate a lot of heat unless it's close to you. I like it though.

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.

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

Yes, it has to be plugged in. It does not come with a battery adapter. I had an outlet on my porch within reach, but most people probably need to use an extension cord.

It needs to be plugged in. It's portable and can be moved around the house, but it needs power.

It can be plugged into an outlet; no electrician required. Easy to install, a great lamp (we have 2)

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.
