yes. The first one I got never powered on so it was replaced. The second on only lasted 2 months then went out. I unplugged it and that did not work. It is completely shot now.

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.

Plug it in and you can manually set it up from the Air Cooler itself or use the remote that comes with it to select what you want it to do....remember you must select 'cool' when operating, it will bring the cool water from the tank into the system to blow out cool air, put some ice in the water to make the water a little more cooler. If you don't select 'cool' on the Air Cooler, you may damagethe cooler. It's a good item, I have two of them and may get a third one this year. Remember also, it will only cool the area around you like a small bedroom, it will not cool a big living room or any room of that size, I'm sure you'll like it.

It is electric and needs an outlet. I would suggest another brand though...

DC powered. Mine runs off the feed for my 12 volt TV. The booster wired right in no problem.

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

It's cable powered. By a too short cable in my opinion. Battery powered would be so great, but no... Primitive mind hasn't perfected so a glorious thing.

This product is not battery powered. Rather, it runs on electricity provided by plugging the unit into a secure electricalsocket via a long extension cord. Very light and quite powerful. The two speed feature is quite good.

It is electric but I see from the previous response there is a battery inside. I had not realized it. Have been pleased with the unit.

Yes it is electric and needs to be plugged in but also be sure that the plastic cutting device at the top is over the button that runs the motor.

it is totally electric. the cords a bit short so you need extension cord for just about any situation.

Its powered by batteries, there is an optional (110v) pack, maybe you can find a 220v. It as a co-axial 12.DC on the side for the pack. Fairly generic...

It is powered by a 110/120 volt A/C cord. No problems so far with many uses.

Hi Leonora, It is electric (with a plug-in cord). The one that works, is excellent. I am going to try and dismantle the non-functional one and tinker with it when I have time. I think it is worth the risk to buy it, hoping that it works, I have no reason to think that any other orders would be defective. Good luck!

Yes, it is powered.. However, you can obtain a great workout without plugging it in if needed.

No my friend, it is no battery powered, you need to connect it to electricity.

Electric refers to the helicopters operation. It is battery powered as well as charged through a wall outlet.

It's electric and plugs into a 110v outlet. You will most likely need an extension cord since the one on the motor is only a couple of feet max. Not a major issue though. So far it works well.
