Can this be plugged into a wall outlet instead of cigarette lighter?

It'll cost more like $45 for a converter that can take the 15amps that this unit draws. So ignore both Ron Coleman's and Ron Lambert's suggestions that it'll only cost you $10~$20 to convert this to 120VAC household plugs.

Not directly, but (just as Ron Coleman suggested) you can using something like this: Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

No, but you can buy a small converter for @$10 (I think??) at Radio Shack or any hardware store - or do at Amazon while you're buying the Compressor.

No, it is designed to go the other way. This power supply is made to plug into a 120 Volt outlet (like in your house) to produce power like the power available from a cigarette lighter in your car. It is made to run devices that normally run from your car cigarette lighter, when plugged into a wall socket, it will NOT power your laptop from your car cigarette lighter.

No, this one cannot because it will only work in the cigarette lighter. However, you can purchase ones that are made for use indoors.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

You could use a car cigarette lighter if you have a converter to turn it into alternating current instead of direct current that the car lighter offers.

YES you can plug it into any AC wall outlet. In fact I have not yet put any batteries into it, I always run it on AC power.

yes it can, but you have to purchase the adaptor they sell to plug it in to an outlet. It only comes with the car charger. It is not very expensive though.I purchased the adaptor and it works well.

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

No, it works plugged into a DC transformer that works plugged into regular wall power outlet.

Yes, it absolutely plugs into a standard wall outlet. The usb plug comes away from the standard plug as an option.

You can plug it in to the cigarette lighter. But it uses kilometers not miles and I haven't figured out if I can change it or not. I don't think I can for that reason I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise it was okay.

Yes, you can buy a wall adapter (micro USB) that will charge it via a wall outlet.

Yes, it plugs directly into the wall AC outlet. There is also a cord with a DC plug attached for use in the car.

This plugs into lighter/aux power outlet in vehicle only. Cannot plug into wall outlet. Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely! You will not lose functionality of the outlet. With this converter, you don't have to "tap in" necessarily in the traditional way. All you have to do is remove the fuse for the cigarette lighter, insert the converter, then insert the 20 amp fuse into the converter. Just make sure you install the appropriate fuse for the other device into the second fuse slot on the coverter.

Yes. What's even better is you can get a $10 power converter that will convert that cigarette lighter into a usb power station, and you can now use this device in your car.

Yes, the plug pulls away from the body (hidden) and then the unit can be inserted into a wall outlet.
