what is the best voltage and plug transformer for this steamer to use in the US

All you need is a 100 Watt voltage transformer/ converters used in 100 volt countries (Japan) and 120 volt countries (America). The regular price is about $50. I saw one sold with discounted price $ 17.

I bought the product and have been using it in US without the need to use any transformer.

It's 120V, 88 watts, so if you are running on 220-240V, then you will definitely need a transformer. Try one of the dual voltage curling irons - this one will melt down.

I use a cheap Transformer 230 to 120 Volt, 100 Watt. This was the most bargain Solution.

No, the steamer does not have the voltage switch so I assume it is for 110v only.

You wouldn't need a converter, but you would need an adapter from the US style 2 prong to the 3 prong style used in Italy. The steamer can work on dual-voltaes (120 or 240) so you would only need the adapter. The S-type European adapter would work, which is only 2 prongs because this steamer doesn't have a grounding prong.

I would assume is USA 120V unless otherwise specified. Worth getting a transformer thought. i love this machine!

Thanks for your info. Ordered one to use in HK and hope they do not change the provided variable transformer. UPDATE: The charger is 120-240V and the vac cleaner is really good. Should outperform similar products selling in HK.

I have been using this transformer (two of them) in India (power sources 220V 50 HZ) for over two years now to power a number of other US devices -- a 40" US LCD TV (rated 110V 60 Hz), a DVD player, an Onkyo 5.1 Receiver, a polk sub-woofer. I just made sure to limit the devices I hook up to each transformer at less than 50% of the transformer rating -- 500W max rating of all devices connected to a 1000 Watt transformer. I am very satisfied. I am back looking to order a few more for someone I know and saw your question. I think I will leave a review too.

To use it in the US you need a Step Up & Down Transformer. We bought the VC-1500W unit. It's about 4x6x8 and weighs about 20 Pounds.

120VAC. You could purchase a step down transformer but if you are not in a 60Hz country you may have other issues.

I asked my hubby and he says the transformer is a fixed 120 volt @ 60 Hz type, but it will take a universal adaptor that you can buy at Radio Shack to work worldwide.

No you will not need a transformer. 220v is what we also have in the USA and the machine can run on 220v. Enjoy your illy! Victoria LA, CA

I really don't know. I use just the regular transformer and it works fine. You might want to try the Lionel site. Good luck!

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 Black & Decker BDH1800SM Handheld Steamer is not intended for use with 220/240 Volt Power, only with standard 110 volt grounded or polarized outlet.
