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.

Agree with Bruno. I only need to plug it in for power...wifi connection is wireless

No it's strictly plug in. If that's not a showstopper, then I would recommend it. I use it frequently!

No, it does not need to be plugged in. However, I would advise you on NOT buying this. The light is not that bright and it broke on me in about a year. It collected water in the lighting compartment and is not very reliable

Not unless you have an adapter that will allow you to plug in household devices.

No you plug it it as needed. It is awsome little gadget if I hadn't had it at last RV park would of never gotten on there wifi.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

Yes, I just plugged ours right in. It's a little power brick like you've probably seen before, not just a plug though.

No. I have a few around the house and they're plug and play if you have a basic home network.

No, I think you have to keep it plugged in. I always unplug it when I leave the car. Kind of annoying

Nope! Just plug and play (well...sing, speak, etc.). This is a great item - easily transportable and dependable. I use it all the time.

I don't know what you mean by plug in in this device.It is battery operated.

No it doesn't need a plug in (Only batteries)...The product do have a port on the side if you are using rechargeable batteries, which is an option

yes, these lights need to be plugged in, you have 2 different light intensities, overall I'm pleased with the product.

No, this has to be plugged in. Frankly, though we found one mosquito inside, I would not advise purchasing--a bit too small, really not that effective.

I haven't used it yet, but because of your question I am going to plug it in before I give it as a Christmas gift. Thank you!
