Does this use electricity?

No, it does not use electricity. It's basically a storage bin/rice dispenser. It's well worth the price.

Yes. This heater is not powered from home electricity. It has a pilot flame and the gas controls operate from the pilot flame and thermocouple. A tiny voltage is generated from the thermocouple (20MV) when the tip is hot from pilot flame.

It does not operate on batteries or electricity. It strictly runs off the heat it is sitting on. This is to move heat only, not for cooling! So yes!

Yes. It has a battery and I have used it both ways which is the reason I bought it. If I need to use it without electricity I can just as well.

Hello you do not need electricity, it runs on the internal battery. When the battery is dead you purchase a new unit. That is what makes this unit so handy you can put it anywhere on a shelf, end table, bookcase on a wall. It doesn't have to be mounted solid to anything. Ernie

This is not powered by battery. It is powered by plugging it into an electrical outlet.

No, this light is powered by cosmic rays. Of course it requires electricity! 110VAC.

No, it does not need electricity except for some AA batteries to turn on the gas valve by a switch on the unit or using the remote. I put this heater in myself last winter and love it! Puts out a lot of heat and gives some moisture during those dry winter months. They don't tell you in the manual, but I drilled some holes on the inside of each foot and put a tiny lag bolt through each foot (on the inside, cant see them) into the floor to bolt the unit in place.

No. It runs on battery power which is recharged by either solar or hand cranking.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

It DOES use serious electricity. I notice the lights dim ever so slightly in the room where I use it. No blown fuses. I wonder if you should use it when you're not taxing yourelectic (when AC is off). Maybe an elecyrician can offer advice.

No, It has an electric cord and the unit it self doesn't charge. It can only be used with the electrical outlet.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

Yes. It works with a battery and does not plug into the electric. The battery has a very long life.

Yes and it plugs directly into your computer. No electricity needed. Turns on when you click open the ScanSnap Icon on the desktop. It is more simple than you can imagine. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, it does require electricity so it is totally worthless if your power goes out.

I do not know the answer to this as I always use mine plugged into electricity.
