do you have to plug it in

Yes, there is a cord for the light if you choose to plug it in, and there is also a cord for the air bubble mechanism. Best of luck!!

If you want the light to work, yes. Filtration would also be a good option in a tank this small, if its possible.

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.

Yes it has to be plugged in. I use a multi plug and then plug that into an outside outlet. It works beautifully after 2 years. I love it. So do the birds!

You can plug it in. We have ours plugged in the kitchen most of the time. This radio gets great reception.

Nope. The device does require to be plugged in. Once unplugged, it will need to be paired up with your devices again once it's replugged in.

You plug it in. You turn it on. Most plugs from what I remember are AC. Strange question.

of course you have to plug it in. I have had 2 of these and one was older then my Grandmother. She gave to me late in life now I have my mothers too. But they do get food spills that stain and eventually are not as pretty. This is so nice. better looking then expected for the price. It has been used 5 times since purchased and I love it. Gave one as a gift to my daughter in laws Mother since she always eyed mine and asked where I got it. wish it had a longer cord but I just use an extension cord if on counter it would be great but when used on a buffet I use extension cord. It only has one temp. warm so can`t turn up and down like the old ones. but works for me. If it gets to hot I just unplug for a while. of course you have to plug it in.

It seems like it has to be plugged in. I didn't realize it was intended to work without being plugged in

No. You just plug it in. It is probably the coolest thing I have ever bought!

No, it needs to be plugged in as it comes standard. I have no idea if you can buy some kind of adapter.

No, you'll have to charge it for a few minutes and then leave it plugged in to use it.

You don't plug it in. But honestly this thing is a waste of money. It only works for like 3 hours.

Yes, this switch does need to be plugged in. There is no on/off switch so it is always on unless you unplug it from the wall. It is a high quality switch. I did a review and gave it 5 stars.

Yes and no. It needs to be plugged in to charge the device but after its done charging. You can used it without it being in the plug in.
