Does this dispenser use electricity?

No. It is battery powered. Batteries last about 6 months. It is a great item.

It plugs into the wall socket and uses very little electricity as far as I know. You have to make sure both filter and pump stays submerged, otherwise they will get ruined...I learned the hard way when I put the dish in storage for couple of weeks. The pump was completely moldy and useless afterwards and I had to buy another unit (still worth it, as it is very favorite kitties drinking well)

Nope - electric. The base plugs in to an outlet and the Kettle itself can be removed from the base unit once the water has been heated. Hope that helps!

It is not at all powered by electricity. There is a battery operated monitor but I don't think that would be an issue. We don't use that feature anyway.

I have no idea since I have never used a battery operated dispenser, but if it is recommended I would think so. Sorry not more helpful.

This one uses electricity. This is the second one I've owned. Works really well but even if you don't plan to use it when purchased, get it out of the box and make sure it isn't defective! I bought it on sale and did not use it till several months later when I needed it. There is a leak somewhere behind the pressure gauge and I couldn't exchange it because it had been too long. Still works but loses air constantly which is a bummer. Lesson learned. Some day I will get another one just like it and take it out of the box right away!

Yes it does need electricity there is a computer control board and a fan that runs on electricity

I had the same question and no, I have not found a way to dispense when the unit is not powered up, which is too bad. However, it is possible to open the top and reach in with a dipper to get water when the power is off.

Not electrically. Put a valve on the out side of the pump to control flow rate, works great.

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.

No, this does not use electricity. The loose leaves are put in the infuser and hot water is poured over. The bottom portion has a small candle to keep the pot warm

No electric cable or batteries. It runs on a turbine inside that is activated by the water. You connect it like any other shower head. It is a heavy piece. We have a shower pipe that comes from the wall and hangs over the tub. This shower head was heavy and we did take it down after about six months. The colors were pretty though not as bright as in the picture and not as easy to see in the daylight.

No, the heater will work with or without electricity. Electricity only operates the fan, which does not move much air anyway.

Don't really know, I use a 30 watt electric, it works great with it, adheres well to surfaces and its easy to dispense.

Hi, it works with electricity, however the hand piece went out very quickly. I had to order another version to get the hand piece & use it with the base model.

Yes, the USB charging circuit in this outlet does use power even when nothing is plugged in. I tested by wiring a Mastech MS8264 digital multimeter in series with the hot lead that powers the outlet. With nothing plugged into the outlet, the multimeter read 0.42-0.44 milliamps at 120VAC. Note that this is not a true-RMS multimeter; the actual power draw was probably more like 0.66 milliamps. That's less than 1/10th of a watt, which might be so little that it doesn't matter to you, but it is definitely nonzero and does add up over time. My review contains some more details about power draw:
