Voltage Does anyone know the input voltage for this? I am planning on taking it to a 220v country and would love to just bring an adapter for it to operate and not need a step-up transformer.

My girlfriend took one back to a 220V/50Hz country and it did NOT work. Still working on a solution...

You CAN NOT use a converter for 110 items that require timing. Alarm clocks-Clippers, what have you. Yes- the clock will power on as well as the clippers but there is more to it than that. These items depend on the frequency of the electricity to regulate timing. Even with the voltage converted, the frequency will not change. Therefore, while your alarmclock/clippers will receive power they will not work correctly. My wife and I brought a pair of 110 clippers to Europe and, though they would power on they made an incredibly loud noise on account of the frequency screwing up the oscilation.

No, this clipper is not meant to run in 220V countries.If you need a clipper that can run in those countries, the Wahl Anywhere Clipper is battery operated. Wahl 79141 Battery Clipper 21 Piece Haircut Kit

The input voltage on US products is 110-120v. This is the case with virtually all Wahl and Oster products sold on Amazon. To find ones that work overseas, include "220v" in the search. You can always uses a voltage converter, but you'll need to look at wattage in addition to voltage. Some of the smaller voltage converters don't have the wattage to power up something like hair clippers, and the bigger ones might not be practical for travel. Try calling Wahl or Oster directly to inquire about products that operate in 220v countries. They do sell in Europe, so they do have them, just not always in retail in the US.

No it will not. This is a 110V one. They do have a model that supports 220V but the one in Amazon does not. I came to know about this when I go the product. I am from India. I am using a step down transformer(220v to 110v) it works well no issues till now. Have been using this setup for more then a year now.

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!

I actually believe that it has global voltage, meaning it works on 110 or 220. The only thing is having the correct plug for your country. Should be no need for a transformer.

christian, after reading this thread i also went ahead and bought it. it arrived today and as you mentioned it is 110-240V. didn't have the chance to try it yet but it looks well built. thank you once again for the tip.

The one I have is a 100 - 240V 50/60Hz switching supply. So far I have only used through 110V step down transformer as have not changed the US plug yet so I can plug in to 240V direct. cheers.

Using it in US. It is only applicable for this place-- 110v. You may need to use a step up transformer for 220V. It is a good buy though! No issues so far...

The input voltage is 120V ~ 60Hz 0.68A. The Input Power is 33W. The Output is: 22.5VAs I am in New Zealand with 240-220 voltage, I have bought a step-down Transformer, 50W with 240V - 115V.By Power TechPlus N287. Model Cat.MF -1091. Does this help?

The radio is sold internationally, so that for greater voltage should be available. Please check with the seller. I really like mine. I know that it uses a transformer for a 8.5 volts. There should be some sort of what you need there. It is just a matter of voltage. It does use a transformer. I know that. I know there is a converter to go from voltage of other countries to that of the USA. Surely there is the opposite too, if needed.

The unit works on American or European voltage. Just plug it in. No adapter required.

Hi, I tried that as well, got a response which basically pointed me towards some FAQs which didn't answer the question.I ordered one when I was in the US, and the voltage seems correct, so it should work with just a normal adaptor, but I haven't tried it yet. I think it's 110-240V.

Not the model I bought from amazon.com I have had to connect through a step up voltage converter (transformer). But if you can find it in the U.K. (amazon.co.uk)that should be a 220V model.

If you buy it in the US and the country you are going to uses 220V, you will need a voltage transformer. You will also need a plug adapter.

I don't knowthe voltage. I'm not sure about using this outside of the US, that's where I use it. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.

Input: 100-240V ~ 1.6A 50-60Hz. You might need a different plug. I got us plug only.

This device is for US voltage only, 120V, 60hz, 1800 watts on my version. In order to use it OUTSIDE the USA, you will need a 3000 Watt 120v-240v Step up-down Transformer. They are also sold on amazon for about $60-$70.
