The operating voltage for this heater is 220v but it seems like everyone using it is in the US which uses 110v. How can I use this with 110v?

you can get a voltage booster. I prefer the 220 though. It is more economical by far. Almost twice the cost for the electrical at 110. You can also just use one side of the element at 110v. Doesn't get as hot and will have to work harder. I had a long 220 extension cord made and put it where I want it.

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

I'm pretty sure it's 110 volts. It's an American appliance and we use 110 volts. You'd probably need a converter

I couldn't get mine hot enough with our 110 volts here in the states. I think this unit was made in Europe for 220 volts. I sent mine back. Don't buy it.

Yes, you can use this for 220v country. I am using the same converter for my heater in India.

Hi, The voltage is 115 to 130 Here in the USA. & Note, the top burner is not very hot & it takes a long time to cook a scrambled egg! So I use a one burner hot plate now. The other two parts are just fine for me! Arthur

I live in NJ US. I believe all Americas use 110v. It looks so nice and sleek, I believe it's only for indoor. I have it in my bedroom.

I live in USA and want to buy one of these. Is the heater compatible with USA Power Outlet?

It is 110v. Be careful if you buy this heater: Mine (and others-read reviews) worked well for a year and then overheated killing all my fish.

as sold here, it is not wired or 220V - however, i believe if you change the plug, it can run on 220 - the power only runs a heater which should run on 220....you can buy the european version that is already wired for 220V - if you use it in the US you would need to change the plug -

Most homes in the USA are wired with both 110 and 220 volts available in the breaker box. If you have an electric stove with an oven it no doubt runs on 220 volts. If you have central airconditioning it will most likely run on 220 volts. Just look in your breaker box and count all the circuits. read the numbers on them... This water heater will need another double 60 amp breaker. Check to see if you have space in the box, look for blank plates in the column of breakers. If this is too much information for you then you'd be better off getting an electrician to at least help you with the job.

My voltage is 240 (I live in the UK) so you may be able to use 220 voltage (it may not get quite so hot) BUT I HAVE TO PLUG IT INTO A TRANSFORMER for it to work. Hope this helps

I have one that I bought in Europe many years ago when I was stationed there. So it is 220v. I brought it back and use it every day in the USA. If you have a few electrical skills, hooking up 220 in one's kitchen is easy. You have a 220v oven and range (probably). But if you haven't got the skills or it is too much of a PITA, you would be much better getting one that is 110v. My guess is that buying a European model would not save much money anyway. Great machine, I just rebuilt mine, love it to death.

When it comes electric wall heaters You may also have heard of (110 volts, 115 volts, and 125 volts) - they are thesame as 120 volts.Also, (220 volts, 230 volts, and 250 volts) are the same as 240 volts.

Nope. It just plugs in to 110V just make sure there is ample capacity on the circuit for the amp draw of the heater (you would need some basic electrical skills to hook up to 240V) You will need some basic, mechanical/plumbing skills to hook up the water supply. (Similar to hooking up a refrigerator water supply, I highly recommend an inline water filter for the supply line)

It's 240V. Heater should be on an individual, dedicated circuit. It is hard wired. I purchased a Dryer Power Cord (about 6 ft), hard wired at the heater unit and plugged into a dryer style outlet that I had installed in my garage. You could also hard wire directly from the wall junction box to the heater. Any wiring to the heater must be 2 conductor metallic sheath (BX) cable with ground wire, per the installation instructions.

Ihave on my 120v and 88 watts and it says preheat. I am in the USA and I just plug into my wall plug and it works great.a 220/240v use for a large item like a air conditioner.
