can I use it outside or does it need to be plugged in?

it has to be plugged in and the plug in should not be shared with very other heavy wattage appliances

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

It needs to be plugged in to an outlet to run but there is no on/off button. Once it has power, it is on

Yes, this unit can be used while plugged in, in fact that is the only way my son uses it....he didn't even know that it could be used without being plugged in!

You can plug it in and/or use batteries. Battery life is quick with much use, so we keep ours plugged in.

I would say not for long-term use. If you wanted to plug it in outside while you were there then yes but not for the direct sun or weather /rain

It has to be plugged in.The typical use case is to be plugged into a USB port in your car.

I leave my bowl plugged in 24/7 outside but it is on a covered patio. I think you could leave it plugged in outside with no protection as long as the electrical outlet it's plugged in is not exposed to water. I am very pleased with this bowl as water never freezes now. Hope this helps.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.

You will need a grounded extension cord. If you use this outdoors, I recommend an outdoor cord.

yes it must be plugged in and you would use an extension cord. the length of the mower cord is what is shown.

Yes, this switch does need to be plugged in. There is no on/off switch so it is always on unless you unplug it from the wall. It is a high quality switch. I did a review and gave it 5 stars.

It is designed to be plugged in. It has a cord not visible in the picture. (It is a great little personal lamp.)

No, its an electric plug in. You need an outdoor extension cord to run it and a convenient outdoor electric outlet.

I use it inside. I plugged it into one of the outlets, actually two as there are two separate items. I am not sure if it can be used outside. In the enclosed instructions, it did not say anything about the outside. Hope it helped.

I believe either is OK. I usually leave it plugged in during frequent use. For storage, I unplug then charge prior to use.
