Can I use this in Europe, ie. can it take in European 230V (230V to ground)?

I haven't been to Europe but I think its the 50 cycle power not the voltage you have to worry about.

It takes a USA 3 prong plug no problem, although the 3rd ground pin isn't carried through. It has worked for me in Europe with no issues, and appears it will work well in other parts of the world fine too.

I believe that you would need a power adapter; there was nothing in the manual about compatibility with European power.

I also checked with the manufacturers in Italy and they said that due to the difference in frequencies, the US version cannot be used with 230v even with a plug adapter.

Yes it can. Voltage is ideal for Europe and it has European plug so you won't need an adapter. I've used it in Greece, Turkey, and Mozambique. Basically the only places it won't work are the Americas.

If you're going from the US to Europe, you need a step DOWN transformer. Put a step-up transformer on a 230V outlet and you end up with... 460V!

I am using one in New Zealand (also 230V), with an adaptor plug, but you have to be careful that the US appliances you plug into it can run on 230V, or else you need to use a transformer as well.

Yes you can but remember these are only adaptors and not voltage convertors. Make sure to check the voltage/amperage of the equipment against that of the country you are traveling to. Generally Europe is 220 volts and the US is 120 volts. Here's a handy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country.

US units are 110V, Europe runs on 220V. This will slow down the unit causing it to overheat. So, yes, it would work. But I would not recommend it.

I don't think so. I assume you would need a converter. 220v is euro specs correct?

Yes! It can handle both USA and Europe's two different voltage requirements (Europe's is 240v). It handles 'both.'

Yes, it can be used in Europe provided you have the appropriate adapter for the outlet plug. Not sure about other places.

Hi there - it is 120V only which I would assume means that it can not be used in Europe without a converter.

Yes you can. The voltage shows 230v in Switzerland, but not allways exactly 230v. It will at lease ± 10%.

I would have no idea. European power is different than that in the USA. It runs on 110 volt AC/ DC power source. That would be my concern...good luck !!

Yes, you can. I am using it over here at 240V, all I needed was to get my local 3-prong plug and used it in place of the one which they provided and it will work. There's nothing else you need to do.

No you can't. They have different models for that voltage. One of those European outlet adapters would be the cheapest way to go.
