Does this require plugging into a wall socket to power it?if yes, can I use it in Australia where the voltage is 220-240 Volts?Battery type?

Yes, it does need plugging into the wall. We are using one in Turkey where the voltage is just short of the English 240 volts and we have had no problem with it. I have not been able to find a battery type.

Hi L.L., This unit requires that it be plugged into an electric source (110-120V). However; I'm not sure if this could be used using a voltage converter which can be readily found on the internet. It has NO battery. Are you able to used products manufactured for use in the US using a voltage converter? If so, this unit could be used in the same manner. Hope this helps. G'Day!

This unit required an power outlet ( wall socket to power it ) and can be only use 110Vac, it can not use 220-240Vac and can not use battery. I hope this will help, good luck.Timothy Dam

Hi, yes it requires to be plugged into a 115-120 volt wall socket. The 220-240 would not work.

it does plug into the wall for power--- the type we use in the US but im sure if you have a converter for your wall outlet you can use it just the same

GdDay; It does require plugging in there is no indication of whether it will take 220. <Mfg email is sfeguardrx@earthlink.net

No batteries. AC power only. As long as you have an international power adapter it should work regardless of geography.

It definitely has a US plug. Not sure if you can get an Australian plug. Sorry i couldn't help.

It does not accept Australian style plug. You will need adapter plug for it.

It's just regular plug... I don't know which one is in Australia. but you can always get an adapter.

Yes,it worked in the U.K. Fine with 240 volts, so you will just need an Australian plug adapter for their socket fitting.

Hello, my plug came with 120 to 240V input and 23V DC output. You need to get an USA to Australian power adaptor, as the Black and Decker plug is a USA power point.

Mine has the normal American 120 V plug. Not sure what you have in Australia. But, converters are not hard to come by if you really want the machine.

You can plug it in to the wall and the voltage is dual!! 110v - 240v that means you can use it at the states and rest of the world!the battery life after fully charged is around 6hours

It can be plugged into a standard 110volt wall socket. No electrical work required

Needs a converter! I used it in australia and did not use converter. The minute I plug it in. It is broken

Strictly 110v. You'll also need an adapter kit to plug into various foreign wall recepticles rated at that voltage overseas.

It is a 110 volt unit. For Australian power I have used a transformer to drop to 110 from 240 and a power plug adapter to cater for the difference plug pin configuration.

I am not an electrician, but my unit plugs into a standard wall power socket...which is 110V...this unit is very efficient!

I live in the United States, it uses 120 volts, I just plug it into my wall outlet

reading through previous questions shows that the ac adaptor is good for 110-230v so should be fine for australia. all you need is an adaptor plug (2 angled flat pins instead of the us style 2 parallel flat pins).

It has it's own power cord, I do not know why it would not work in Australia.
