In short, is this unit "better" than the 110/220 dual voltage unit? I realize it's a subjective question, but I want the most bang for my buck.

I dont know since i own only the 220v powertig. For the price it usefulness works great for the home shop. So far so good i hope it stays that way

The unit that I received is the dual voltage 110/220. It performs very well on either source with better control on thinner material using the 110 volt source.

My unit came through dual voltage and I can't see any difference when I'm welding except for max output being lower. I love my unit. Paul M

110 volt gives you half the power and shorter duty cycle. The machine is a little heavy to move it and the bottle around for small jobs where you would need 110 volts.

My unit came with a regular 110 plug in. It is not intended for 220 as far as I know? If you prefer ask the manufacturer. Stay safe and know what you're doing with electricty before you tryAnything 220v.

If you read the description you'll see that it's 110/220 volts... It will arrive wired for 110 volts, read the re-connection directions to wire it for 220 volts... Be advised,,, this unit IS TOP HEAVY!!! Use care when moving it!! Don't ask me how I know !!! Gene

I have the US model and it is 110V. Just remember is you buy it from Amazon, you do not have a warranty because they are not authorized vendor. B&W is great at speakers, less so at electronics so you might need the warranty. My unit failed and B&W won't honor the warranty because I didn't buy it from an authorized vendor. It is now an expensive paper weight.

I have this since Jan 2012 and I work fixing UPS, I have all the equipment to test how pure the sine wave is and let me tell you! I have put on my fluke dual input at the same time utility and this and I would say the output of this UPS is actually more clean then the actual utility I would take pictures if anyone wants too see both in comparison.

I would also like to know if this is dual voltage (I understand I would need to use an adapter) I just want to make sure it's dual voltage first. Does it say 110-220 or something like that???

Has anyone actually tried to use this in Europe? Several answers say it is dual voltage, some say not. It could be automatic without a voltage setting. I can read the description that says it is; I want to know if it has actually worked. Thanks!

I did not own the 110 so am not in a position to respond. Check some of the professional online reviews.

Mitch: It's not an inverter-quality "clean." Plug all your sensitive electronics into anAPC/UPC battery-backup-surge-protector and you'll be good to go. Or go througha transfer switch to your building's main circuit panel.H--da has "clean" ones... ahem.... half-the-power and THREE-TIMESthe price... Your choice, but these are good units. Good Luck!

As far as I know it is just a 110 volt but I'm not an electrification, I'm more of the kind to buy and plug in. I do know that this is an excellent streaming device as well as a DVD and Blueray player for the price you can't beat it. Hope that was helpfull.

Hi Rodrigo! This thing is NOT a dual-voltage unit. We have a vacation home in Europe and I have the same unit running off of a voltage converter w/o any issues. This is what we bought: Simran SMF-200 Deluxe 200 Watts Step Down Voltage Converter for International Travel to AC 220V/240V Countries. In fact, I have about 5 of these units at the home since we have a lot of US (110v) uni-voltage electronics which we use on vacation, overseas. The converters are great. This Panasonic, if you can still find it, is a GREAT buy! Great sound! Hope this helps.

Dual voltage as.... can you use them here and in Europe or South America? Theirs is 240 or something like that and ours is 120 or so. Unfortunately this will not work on 240 as is. It would take a converter. But I haven't taken mine abroad yet. It would be too heavy or bulky for travel anyway. Flat hair abroad :-). I hope this answers your question if not reply back and I will try again.

I couldn't get mine hot enough with our 110 volts here in the states. I think this unit was made in Europe for 220 volts. I sent mine back. Don't buy it.

Dear Sheila,Thanks for your interest! Since we ship out of many locations across the US, it'd be of great help to us if you could provide an ASIN for the 220-240 version. Are they currently for sale on Amazon? If they are, I'll gladly check our stores for the higher voltage version you desire. Sometimes items haven't been listed for sale yet, so you never know. Thanks!

Me too, I really need to know if it is 110v or 220vMy house has no power to 220volts, just 110vYou know where I could found this information? Thanks!

Hi Scott, On the voltage label on my unit reads " 98 - 240 V/AC. 50 - 60 Hz " So yes I received the multi-voltage version. Hope this helps.

How I understand it, there are different units for different markets. The US/Canada sold units are 110v, while European and most other countries are rated 220/240v. I've purchased and imported from Amazon.com and saved around $400 by doing so. Now I've purchased a 1000W 220 -> 110v power transformer for $100 to use the receiver here in Australia and I'm still well ahead on the deal :o)
