Is a simple plug converter enough to operate this in 220V/50Hz or one should use those giant 1000W voltage converters?

It would serve you better if you expanded on your question so that it might be better understood. However the Makita router kit that you are asking about is a very good value. as far as if you are able to run this on 220 volt service, i would say that there isn't much you can do because this is 115-120volt. If you were to tell what is this plug in thingy or this giant 1000 volt converter, you would be better served by the community here on amazon for an answer? I don't say this to be rude. Clarify to verify

I believe you have to have the appropriate converter for the voltage, and then it should work fine

I would presume you'd need a simple and inexpensive voltage converter [tranformer].

Yes, you can use 220V 50Hz. The input voltage of the power adopter is a 110-220 VAC

First of all, never plug a 110 volt item into a 220 volt socket. You will ruin the item and might see a little smoke come out from the item because you overloaded the voltage rating item on the item (unless the item is dual voltage 110 - 220 volts). What you need a 110 to 220 voltage converter, preferably one that is travel size. Just look up the wattage on the item and find one that has the right amount of wattage on the converter, probably 100 watts max for this item (but you will have to look at the wattage on the item first).

You'll need a transformator to do so. Not worth the headache. There is a version suitable for 220 volts. Look for them

Yes, and even a small transformer such as the LC-100 will be enough for it: http://www.amazon.com/LiteFuze-LC-100US-100Watt-Voltage-Converter/dp/B00BQM9A2A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386190277&sr=8-1&keywords=lc-100us

Although I've been trying to get this right for a couple of years, I'm not a technical expert - so don't blame me if your amp blows up. However, here is what I've learned: Power conversion is trickier than it seems. There are two element related to power conversion. The first is voltage. This product should do a good job of converting from 220 to 120, and the 3000W should be enough capacity for a 200W amp. But the other issue is "frequency", which in the US is 60 hz. In Europe and likely where you now are, it is 50 hz. None of these converters will convert the frequency from 50 to 60hz (that would require an extremely expensive piece of gear that cost much more than your amp). This frequency difference makes motors run slower than they were designed to run. Although I don't think of power amps as having "motors", it's hard to say what gizmos are in any given high end component and what effect the frequency difference might have. If I were you, I would look at the amp's instruction manual (or the back of the amp) and see if there is a switch that converts the amp to run at 220/50 or maybe it will say 120/50-60, meaning it can handle the frequency variation if the voltage is converted. But really, your best bet is to call Integra, tell them you are considering the Power Bright VC3000 and ask them how this amp will perform with it. They should be able to give you a quick answer.

You will need an adapter for the plug, but that's all--no voltage converter needed.

It's only 120v, you could transform 220 to 110, but you'll need a big powersource able to deliver at least 1200w.

No. The unit is wired for 110v. You will need an adapter/converter for it to work with a 220 plug.

I gave this to my son-in-law for his birthday and he loves it. I don't think you need a 220 plug, I believe he just plugged it into a regular wall switch.

I used a converter with built-in plug adapter. If you just change the plug you still have too much voltage (220) and could fry your laptop.

The adapter worked beautifully for me. The converter is not needed if you look very carefully at the plugs on your appliances. Reading the fine print most new items will convert automatically and all that is needed is the adapter. You will see it will work on either the 110 or 230-240 volt and all that is needed is the adapter. In fat one hotel had the converter/adapter built in and I just plugged it into the wall like at home.

Yes, this unit converts 110v to 220v (step up the voltage) allowing to use foreign 220v device in USA up to 50 watt max.

Came with a 120vac-60hz....The plug coverts power from 120vac to 12vdc. So if your overseas you can easily convert use a 240 to 12vdc or get an 240/120 inverter.

There is a detachable converter that requires AC 117 v 60 Hz 50mA and has an output of AC 6 v 300mA. You would probably need a different power converter to work on 220.
