Has anyone used this internationaly? Has it worked just fine without blowing out &amp; dying due to voltage varinace?

I used this in Italy for two years with just the adaptor and although it worked, it did get really hot and would turn off on its own...I suggest you use a converter! I never did and when I got back to the States it broke:(

I have personally used it in the US, UK, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Israel, Mexico and Japan.Had no issues at any of these locations. Just needed the right power adapter for each country :)

Does this mean that it does not work in Europe. This is the first time an laptop does not work with 220 V and 110 V due to his Accu. Could you please confirm this to me again, because I would use it primarly in Europe.

Hi, I only used equipment from Europe and didn't try the option. I'm sure it'll work good. I didn't have any problem so far.

You should contact Technical Support at 1-888-423-1887 ext 2 to answer this question - It has been tested in over 60 countries

argghh! I think the answer is 'No'! I bought it and had it shipped to me in NZ and didn't even think about the stupid American 110 volts! Plugged it in and the fuse or bulb blew and smoke came out. Now I have to a) fix it, b) buy a step-down transformer. Can't believe companies still make separate versions of things rather than making them dual voltage!

For overseas you will have to most likely rewire it, most overseas outlets are different than ours in the US.Best to call the company after you find out what the electric volts and plug type is needed from the country its going to. If its going to a American base it may be fine, check before you spend money shipping. Best i got. Good luck. Anybody else?

I have never been to South Korea, but from a quick look at this it looks like it should be fine. http://kropla.com/electric2.htmThe other comment is not the same experience as mine. I used them for 6 months travelling around Europe plugging and unplugging multiple times a day with no issues of any breakage.

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

I just called also. They report that none of the models available in the USA have multiple voltage adaptors. Such a disappointing move for such an international brand and in this modern day. That sexy travel set isn't ready for real travel.

no problem! I use like it a lot. but one time I used 220v and it stopped working permanently. now i use NuMe's megastar (u can find many discount coupons online)

Yes, it works well. You just need a plug adapter from flat (US) prongs to round (EU) ones. Do use the voltage switch or the drier will burn: voltage is 2x higher in EU.

I haven't used it on any high demand (i.e, heating , hair or otherwise) devices. I recall my daughter tried used another converter overseas and it blew the device away, making it no longer useful. something about # of phase and voltage change. so, I only use these for non-heat type of devices.

I travel with it everywhere and LOVE it!! It works everywhere. I haven't had an issue with voltage so far! I don't even iron at home anymore, I love this thing so much!

Used it in Italy. Not Rwanda. Worked fine there. Not sure if I was ever hit with a surge, but used for Macbook, iPhones, iPad, and a CPAP machine. No issues.

I would recommend not doing so. I had a European one that I brought to the states. It died on me within a few months. Find one for the 220V and buy that one.

It did not work for me. It was purchased to be used in india, but when I plugged it in it the digital display started to blink on and off like crazy. Moreover, I tried it with a step down voltage converter with the same result. Maybe I just got a bad piece but the instruction manual with it does not say that it is dual voltage. Very disappointed.
