Is it in fahrenheit or celsius? also does it work in the us or is an adapter needed?

It is fahrenheit and no adapter was needed. My daughter really likes it. worth the money.

The label on the AC adapter says 100 - 120 Volts AC at 60 Hz which is standard in the USA but not in many other countries, and it has a plug for an American outlet. So will need a converter to use it worldwide.

I used an adaptor in the USA and it wasn't very successful Not very hot and very very slow

Hi It has a an A C adapter but you will require an adapter to convert from the U S two flat pin plug. These connectors are available at most D.I.Y stores. Regards, Don

Sometimes. Ours was reading in Fahrenheit, until one day when it started working in Celsius. Manual details how to switch, which involves remove the battery and changing the position of a clip inside. Except...there is no clip inside. Now it is only in Celsius.

Although it was for my son, I know that it uses 110v 60Hz current which is the US standard. You may be able to buy a converter that will work, but I don't know that for a fact.

If you purchase this through amazon UK it will come with Celsius but I don't think that is available in the states. You can contact the Seller.

No idea. However, similar electronic devices I specify are rated to zero degrees C. It's inexpensive, simple, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it at low temps.

I don't own the unit yet however yes this does require an AC adapter. It looks to be on the front of the unit in the bottom left corner (look at the 3rd picture you can see it).

I can only answer on the unit I have (you will need to check the one you get) The power supply (part of the power plug) has written on it 120-240V 50/60 Hz. That means mine will work from 120 to 240v a/c at 50to 60 cycles per second (Hz) BUT.....The plug is not a UK/European plug and so an adapter will be required.I can say mine will work but you will have to check the power supply you receive with the unit. (You never know they may change the specifications so we have to buy a different power supply to use it overseas. That way we have to pay more.) G.F.H.

The AC Adapter reads Input: 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.0A. Ditto James Hall. Works fine on American circuitry, 110V. No mentions of anything else.

I've lived in Japan for 6 years--you don't need an adapter to use US devices in Japan, unless maybe you have something that is grounded (3 prongs) as some outlets in Japan aren't grounded. Their voltage is slightly less than ours, 110V as compared to 120V in the United States, so no worries there, either.

The one pictured is not the one we have available. Ours has the Fahrenheit listed in big letters with the Celsius in small. I see from the manufacturers website, they have a second model which seems to be the one pictured here.

I agree with the other answers. I don't know the temps, but it keep my wife's meds cool on our driving trips. We also got the 120 adapter to use in motels. They both do a pretty good job.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers). So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-Grounded-Universal-Plug-Adapter/dp/B0080SE6H2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1413903131&sr=8-13&keywords=ceptics

You can change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit (and back again) by flipping a small switch on the back of the display. You would have to first remove the front panel (it's screwless so just pull it off) and then you should be able to see the switch.

need to know the same thing. Purchased from Amazon as we live in a country where you cant buy this. It is in Farenhieght and our home country is celcius. Please let me know if you find out, but i have a feeling its not possible
