How many Watts does this Juicer use? I live in America and need to know what voltage adapter to buy.

You need a Step Up and Down Voltage Converter Transformer AC 110/220 V - 500 Watt, or just a step down version. The juicer does very fantastic job.

The Panasonic MJ-M176P has an information label on the underside.It states the Wattage as [210 Watt at 220 Volt] or [230 Watt at 240 Volt].I would rate the voltage adapter about 10% higher.In my opinion, this is the best unit on the market. I imported it from the US as it wasn't available here in Australia.Paul K

Mine is a 220 volt version, British type plug, but you better check with amazon before ordering.

Mine is a 230 Watt unit. Kindly note that this unit on Amazon is labelled as 220-240 Volts 50hz, and according to them it will not work in USA & Canada.

The power adapter came suited for America with a 3 prong power cord 10A, 125V. However, the input says 100-240 volts, 50/60Hz. Check the availability of another power cord that can work for you.

I'm wondering the same thing, but in reverse. Since this is sold through Amazon US, will it be ready for 110 volts or 220? Someone told me that they should be set to "autovoltage" and that way I could just buy the adapter I need for the plug, but that isn't specified here.Thanks

I think it's 110 v but I upgraded to a juicer that is able to juice whole fruits and veggies and has a larger juice pitcher. I use the compact for individual juices.

I am using a 3-prong into a 2-prong adapter in my electricity 2-prong outlet. I have 4.50 amps. If you are in another country besides the United States, you would have a different outlet.

A voltage converter would adjust for that, however the frequency (Hz) that the power grid runs from could be the issue. For example the US electric supply runs at 60Hz, but the UK runs at 50hz. While this isn't a problem for small or static devices, it will likely pose a problem for kinetic appliances, such as the juicer in this case. What will happen is that the motor cannot run at full power, as it tries to draw energy at a faster rate than can be provided by the grid, and this eventually kills the motor off. You /could/ look into a voltage and frequency adaptor, but these are bulky and expensive. My suggestion would be to buy local to ensure a longer product life. (Sorry for all the babble, I hope it came across clear enough!)

We recommend you contact Omega directly on this question as it appears there is conflicting information being shared. as we understand it (as learned directly from Omega), this juicer is not available in the US for sale at this time and there are no plans to bring it into the US.

yes I love my Omega juicer 8224 I get one for me here, and bring one for my sister living in Martinique FWI on 220 volt

This juicer is the US model in 110 Volt 60 Hertz. It cannot and should not be used on 220 Volt/240V 50 Hz with any sort of converter/transformer as it will void any warranty, and will cause premature wear on the motor. An international model of this juicer is not available for sale from a US source at this time.

I don't remember because I returned the juicer after 2 uses. It's no where near as good a product as the Omega J8003 I did have nor the Omega J8004 that I replaced the VRT with. Too much pulp in the juice, too much foam, too much money for a less than acceptable juicer. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

You can also buy a tranformer to use any 110-120 appliance. I will recommend a 1500W or higher: Power Bright VC1500W Voltage Transformer 1500 Watt Step Up/Down converter 110/120 Volt - 220/240 Volt right here on Amazon.

Hi Christine. I'm sorry, I don't know where to get the instruction manual. I have had this juicer for over 2 years and am not even sure where the manual is right now. Good luck in your search.

I think 240watt. The adapter says the input is 100-240v~3.5A and the output is 19.5V-12.3A. So 19.5*12.3=239.85, about 240 watt

So sorry ... I do not know. Did you get an amazing price for it? It may be too late; but, I do not do not like mine. It has been a dismal machine. I like my twenty year old juicer better !!! :o

500 Watts, but I Dont recommended it, I recommend Cuisinart CJE-1000 1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor.

Get a 12vDC adapter. You could use and old adapter from something else, as long as it has enough amps.I do NOT know how many amps this uses, but any adapter 3 amp or more should be fine.Volts = The voltage (output) of the adapter should be 12v, or a little less (lower speed). More volts is like more "electrical pressure", this could start a fire if you had too many volts.Amps = The amps should be 3, or greater (3000ma, or greater). More amps is more available power. This is okay. A 3 amp transformer could supply up to, or under, 3 amp of power.

Mine is 120V US version. Power adaptor is also only good for 120V. I ordered this item based on this comment. I will have to return mine.
