Does this need to be plugged in to work or can it work unplugged in an enclosed steam room without an outlet?

It needs to be plugged into an outlet. There is no battery operation option. FYI: a steam room will corrode the electronics inside extremely fast.

No. It has to be plugged in for use. It is very comfortable and works really good though. You can wrap it around you unlike a traditional heating pad.

No. It needs to be plugged in since there is no battery pack on the controller.

It plugs in...you will have to run an extension cord. Luckily, I have a separate room with the toilet in it and there is a plug in there.

It needs to be plugged in. It's portable and can be moved around the house, but it needs power.

It must be plugged in. It doesn't have a battery because it uses too much power for a battery.

No, you don't need to plug it in. You place it on a heat source like your stove top, either gas or electric, or you can even place it on a BBQ grill and use the heat source. That way you can get the water to boil and thus create steam.

It has a small fan and you must plug in the cord if you wish the fan to run. The heater will work just fine without the fan an you do not have t use it, but the fan does increase the comfort further away.

It has to be plugged in either to the wall or to your computer. There is no battery that can be charged to use it unplugged.

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