What is the power source? I am thinking about using this in my college dorm room.

I'm not too sure as I purchased this for my daughter's birthday. I has I delivered to my other daughter to hold until her birthday. I am assuming it is 110 power and a regular plug should work fine. Congratulation on getting an education. Stick with it. That is the BEST invesent you will ever make

It (1) doesn't have an exposed heating element, and (2) it does have an automatic shutoff ... those are the two typical requirements that colleges have for dorm-room-approved appliances. So I think you'll be OK. The cord is attached to the base, which has the on/off (and shutoff) switch; the heating element is inside the bottom canister, which has to sit on the base to heat up. As others have said, 110V AC power with standard (15A) two-prong plug. I don't know how much current it draws but I wouldn't try and run a microwave at the same time as brewing coffee!

The model I purchased plugs into a regular American power outlet. I have mine plugged into the wall in my kitchen.

There is no power source. This is just an antenna. It connects to the tv via a coax port.

The power source is batteries. Not sure of the frequency, but I would definitely NOT recommend this product. As a front door to inside intercom the volume was so low that it was worthless. We finally just threw them away.

Umm. I had it in my dorm room. It operates silently but makes a click noise when it starts after being switched off by the thermostat.

Device has 40W Output Power. Has a useful remote. Enough volume for a large room but not loudly if that's what you want. For most uses it is very fine.

Nope, it doesn't provide power. It works for my purpose but really doesn't add much value in my opinion.

It is not battery powered. It plugs in the wall socket. One comment the light is not that bright. No sure if you can get a bright bulb for it.

The power source is 110V AC or 220V AC. It cannot be connected to a DC power source.

Karl, It doesn't use much power but I would recommend that you disconnect it when you're not using it. I've read statistics about the enormous amount of energy we use worldwide by not disconnecting the millions of devices like this. I use a power strip for my stereo, TV (it stays semi powered up if plugged in), and other devices. I just flip the strip off and everything connected to it gets shut down. The power strip may not be possible for you (or overkill) but I would disconnect when not in use.

This unit isn't battery powered. Don't know why they don't show the cord in the picture. You need to plug it in to a wall socket. :-)

Yes (there is some simple set-up, and of course, you need to plug it into the AC power). If you want to be able to interact with other PCs and devices on your dorm's network, though (rather than just being connected to the internet or to other devices in your dorm room), you will probably have to set it up as a wireless access point, instead of as a wireless router. I have not tried that.

Actually there isn't a real power output, it is only a TV signal. I put a wattmeter that shows the input power is uses, and got a reading of .5 watts using the 120 volt power supply that comes with it. I have no way of checking what it would consume using the USB plug alone.

It's not very powerful. It's more for emergency battery charging when nothing but solar is available. I wouldn't use it as a primary source.

Its a portable power source...you keep it plugged in at all times.In the event you need it,whatever is plugged into it,will receive power fro this unit,ntil it runs out of power or power it is plugged int,is restored. It would probably run a small fridge,depending on its wattage,also several small light fixtures,again depending on there power consumption.In a power outage,providing it is plugged in,it will automatically come on ,if needed.One of its best features.

Sorry can't help, I bought this for my daughter to use in college. When she comes home I will ask her.

You can hook it up to a power source via USB and get as much energy out of it as long as the source is good
