The electric cord, which you attach, comes with the machine. However, the machine is an absolute piece of junk. The stream of steam is lukewarm. It couldn't even clean a barely smudged counter top. We returned it the same day we received it. Don't waste your money... you will hate it !!!

yes, it is electric. the water goes into a tray for the cooling setting, but the instructions do not tell you or show you how to drain the tray. I need to email their customer service to get that answered.

Just a cold water line and an electrical outlet. It heats the seat and heats the water at separate temperatures. LOVE IT!!! Very easy to install, not much more than installing a normal toilet seat.

if you are talking about the heating element, it is built in and does not detach. This is my second Presto, the other lasted many years. It stopped perking, however, I ordered a new cord for the old one and now it works fine. I highly recommend this product. Coffee is perfect, stays warm for a long time. However it does not have a timer, so be sure to unplug once coffee is made.

Most obvious thing: check the circuit breaker. It is probably not the same one that runs the pump. If you are not familiar with electrical troubleshooting, get professional help. Otherwise, make sure that the heater is getting electricity. If not, get professional help. Otherwise, shut the power off and check for continuity of each component. I'd start with the heating elements. Use your phone and take a picture of the wires on the elements. Remove the wires from the elements and test with an ohmmeter (if available). Each should read about 10 ohms. If either element is open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next check the thermostat. Take a picture and remove the wires. Assuming the water temperature is low, the thermostat should be closed and your ohmmeter reading near zero. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next, check the high temperature cut off. Take a picture and remove the wires. Like the thermostat, it should be closed. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. If it still doesn't work, get professional help. Hope this helps, ..j

It doesn't get hot. Mine doesn't charge very well though. The cord needs to be in a certain position once plugged in or it won't charge. Hope that helps.

I have both hot and cold water outlets on the side of my house. I connect a washing machine hose (one with a Y shape) to the faucets and then to the shower unit. Works great. If it ever gets warm again up here in New England I'll be able to use the outdoor shower again.

Hi Heidi, Absolutely not! This is only for water use. The water stays hot/boiling as long as machine is plugged in....once unplugged, the time it takes to cool down depends on the amount of water in container and external room temperature. I never unplug mine, unless if on vacation... Hope this helps!

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

It's portable but don't know how long water will stay hot if it's unplug for the rest of the day.

The heating element has a cord, the pitcher is removable, but you need the heating element plugged in for it to work.

In the time I have used the unit, the power cord has not gotten hot. We went camping for 3 days last week and the unit pulled out 2 bucketfulls of water. Although it was humid outside, inside our camper was very comfortable.

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help. Carol

The heating element is on the bottom, the pot sits on top of it and when you pour the hot water out of it, you lift it off the heating element it is cordless.

I don't think the bottom gets hot. The electric heat comes from a nob in the bottom plate, transferring to a coil in the water compartment.

No electric cable or batteries. It runs on a turbine inside that is activated by the water. You connect it like any other shower head. It is a heavy piece. We have a shower pipe that comes from the wall and hangs over the tub. This shower head was heavy and we did take it down after about six months. The colors were pretty though not as bright as in the picture and not as easy to see in the daylight.

It has hot and cold water hoses, same as a standard washer. It does not heat water itself. I have been using mine for a month now and am pleased with the overall quality. It takes a little longer to dry than a vented dryer but it does work. It does offer an advantage of not switching clothes from washer to dryer(you can load the machine and leave home, have the load complete when returning home hours later)
