no.... it's not portable. The microphone cord now has worn and exposed wires near the microphone plug.

nope ours is plugged in to the wall. My daughter is six and loves this thing....and the microphone is pretty good quality. My son got a microphone for his second birthday and I realize now how nice my daughters really is :)

My granddaughter plugs it in. Very good sound and the microphone is great. I don't remember if it could be battery powered also or no. We got it for her two years ago and it is still going strong.

Plug in only. My daughter loved this, but alas it croaked in less than one year. Glad I had the extended warranty on it!!

No batteries are needed. It gets what little power it needs from the USB port

No batteries are necessary. Pull the crank away from the body, then crank it up. It runs only on the power generated by the crank. This makes it unusually useful when the power goes out, as it often does where we live.

No this does not need a battery. It is plugged into the wall. Also, the only way to turn it off is to unplug it.

I didn't know it did need batteries.I have it on the wall, plugged into the telephone line.It works just fine...no batteries that I know of.As another reviewer said, it is a wall phone. The "od fashioned kind".My grandkids didn't even know what it was, hanging on the wall. :)

No. No battery required. Blow into the tube and while hitting the keys. It is a wind instrument of sorts.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

Yes, both the car and the controller need batteries. Best to buy rechargeable batteries, but, it's worth it. Kids love this toy.
