Does this need electric or can it operate on a battery?

It needs to be plugged into the wall socket at all times. No battery operated function.

You can either operate it on battery power or buy one of the voltage reducing cords. I found one that I had in my junk box or go to Radio/Shack buy one, they should have one.

It's battery operated. But don't worry, it doesn't work with batteries, either.

It definitely is powered by a battery but I do not recall if it came with one. I seem to think it requires a 9v. Sorry that I could not be sure.

It is electric. It will not work without cord. It's not battery operated. I detach the cord to refill at sink.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

The radio has to be on but it has a power plug-in that allows it to operate without batteries. I purchased one of these for my 80+ yr old mother.

No, this requires batteries. There is no option to run off electricity. It is still pretty good though. I have had it since christmas, probably is used 15-20 minutes every day, and still have not had to change the batteries.

Electric. I have had mine since December. No problems. Couldn't do without it. Worth the money.

I do not think so! I would say you need something electric or at least battery operated.

It is electrically operated. It has the capability to operate electrically on batteries or via a separately purchased AC adapter. You could purchase - PowerLine 90366/12 600mA Variable Voltage Universal AC Adapter - from Amazon as it would require 4.5V, 600mA to operate. Expect the batteries to last between 3 and 4 months. I recommend the AC adapter AND the batteries. That way if the power fails, the batteries will keep the time set and require no additional intervention by you.

It will operate both on battery and plugged in. Works well both ways, although if not fully charged, plugged in works better. It has a short charging time for a full charge.

Electric. I gave it as a gift for my grandaughter & I don't remember if it had the battery option or not.
