What is the Power rating for this unit? Has anyone tried operating it outside north america where the standard is 220V, 50 Hz? Thinking as a gift

The power draw is 525 W, according to the nameplate. Of course, the 110V plug will not plug into 220V sockets anywhere, so you would have to include a 110v-220V power adapter (basically a transformer), which will be equipped with the necessary connectors. Hope this helps!...Jerry Brown

I can't answer your question specifically but I suggest you look at a different product. This is a garbage product and I received no response from Hamilton Beach Customer Service.

I think if anyone made just a plug convertor, some poor shmuck would use it and fry his toaster!

Runs on 110v you will need converter adapter I believe to use European votage

Hello Sebastian, This unit is for 110/115V with 60 Hz. You can use converter but please note that warranty is for US and Canada Based customers only.

in the user manual it says 120 V which is usually 110. if you are living in the US you can use it.

Not this one. It is rated for 125V. I am sure you can find one designed for Asian market where power rating is 220V

It works with 110V. Haven't tried with 220V or seen if it's rated for operating with that voltage.

Unit I have is only American version--120v. No apparent switch to convert things on the unit. Power cable also only for American-type outlet. Hope that helps.

Actually, it does have a power supply for 220V. The range is 120v to 240v. It will also operate at power of 50 HZ to 60 HZ, so it can be used around the world. It does, however, only came with a standard USA type dual prong plug, so you would have to have a converter plug for other parts of the world.

Hello Paul, no the unit does not run off of a 220 volt power supply. It is a standard 120 volts.

It's rated to 12V. However, I'm using with 220V without any problems. I think it only matter the ampers involved.Hope is useful.

I checked the block, it says 100-240v~50/60hz 0.6A. So it seems as long as you have 50-60hz service, it should actually work on 220!

I don't know what you mean by power rating. It uses a standard 110 AC outlet.

Mine is a 230 Watt unit. Kindly note that this unit on Amazon is labelled as 220-240 Volts 50hz, and according to them it will not work in USA & Canada.

I'm in South Africa with 220V 50hz. Works hundreds. Check the model spec though.

Does it say it works on 220. You just can't switch to a higher current not used in the average home. Also that thing is a piece of junk and I sent it back after it broke using for only the second time.

Wattage and voltage are 2 different values.. it is NOT 220V.. it uses a 20A plug however (http://www.farm-home.com/images/HiRes/jb01/10503001c.jpg) it will not work in a standard 110v outlet unless you replace the plug on the power strip or change the outlet in the wall (not suggested unless you run 20A service as well)

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.
