When it says electric pump, does that mean it has to be plugged in? I'm camping in an area without electricity.

Yes. If you get one of those nifty emergency power packs, it will do nicely as you only have to pump it once and it lasts for weeks. Though you should probably pump it at home first and bounce lightly on it so that it expands, you only have to worry about that when its new.

Yes, needs to be plugged in. I would recommed looking for a Colman airbed they had a battery powered pump like this one: Coleman Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump(Coleman C001 Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump )

yes. there is no other way to get air into the mattress. I don't think you have to have it plugged in to keep it inflated. You might be able to inflate it using your car plug. just a thought. I haven't try it.

Yes this pump operates on standard house electric current. The electric cord is built into the mattress with the pump. I haven't seen any provision for other inflation options.

Electric, but it's not good. Get a Medela. I got this one for free from my insurance and ended buying a Medela Pump In Style anyways because it was ineffective

Sorry, we have not used a different pump that doesn't require electricity - have you contacted Aerobed directly with this question?

Any electric camping pump will do. They will not inflate to full pressure. They just do the majority of the work for you. You must still stop and use a hand pump to achieve full pressure.

It has a built in pump that you plug in to an outlet. I don't see where you could possibly attach a battery operated pump.

It is only plug in.. However when I used my one time in January of 2013 I cleaned it put it back in box stored it to December 2013 plugged it in and pump would not come on ..ended up throwing in trash after one use. But wasn't a lot of money so I didn't feel to bad.

There is a pump included. All you do is plug the attached plug into an electric socket and push the on button.

Sheri. The pump needs electricity to run. You can have an electrician take electricity to it, though costly. Or, you can get a very heavy duty outdoor long extension cord. There's danger involved with that. I wouldn't turn on the filter that's on an electric extension cord and leave the house, or have children or animals near it when it is plugged in. Possible fire and or shock danger. IMO

yes, it does need to be plugged in. and there is an off and on switch too on the device to save on the electric bill

....It doesn't require any battery.... It has a built-in pump that needs to be plugged.... If you don't have an outlet, you can use a manual pump but it will take you longer to inflate this product....

We just got a Coleman electric pump at Walmart and it worked perfectly!! I think it was a 12V. It costs about $20

NO. only an internal pump is supplied which needs an electrical outlet. In any event, I threw the bed away after three attempts at keeping it inflated and failed each time. Garbage. I guess one gets what they pay for.

yes, 110 v pump, but it doesn't have a plug...you'll have to wire your own 3 prong plug to it, though it's pretty easy.

No, its an electric plug in. You need an outdoor extension cord to run it and a convenient outdoor electric outlet.

Yes, The pump comes with an ac adapter that can be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The cord is not incredibly long, although it reaches across the width of my queen size bed. That's all I needed. The battery pack is sold separately, and is great for pumping when you travel or for pumping in areas with no outlet available. For example, your workplace may have a room for you to pump, but the outlet may be inconveniently placed in proximity to your chair.

Good question! It is just a marketing word, I guess that what is battery operated can be advertised as electrical, which does not make any sense. It does not have a plug. It dispenses slowly and being short at one point you have to remove it to finish the water in the gallon container. The tera pump I had before instead was truly electric, with the plug, and it was working well till it stopped working, after one year, that is why I tried another one, but I by far prefer Tera and I will order another one of that.

It is possible to bypass the built-in electric pump by using either a manual pump or a battery powered pump. The included instructions show that this is possible. If you look at the photo that shows the pump, you can see a hole through the middle of the dial (which is used to inflate/deflate the bed). The pump that you end up using must have a hose outlet that can fit through that hole. As for camping, please make sure you have a large enough tent - this is a big bed. Yes, it's only a twin size, but it's quite high off the ground.
