Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve Pivot Action Linear Wet/Dry Shaver Does it has double power (suitable for Europe also)?

Power adapter is 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 150mAh input, 5V, 1A output.That'll work anywhere in the world I can think of. Make sure you have the right plug adapter (you will NOT need a transformer, but just a plug adapter to physically fit the plug to wherever in the world you are traveling to). You can find these things at travel stores, AAA, drugstores, department stores, etc.

I took mine to Europe and Asia, only needed the compatible adpater to work with the American prong. Nothing else needed.

I don't know what dual voltage is. if you mean like over seas, probably with a adapter, never had a problem with other curling irons with the adapters overseas

Looked it up on the Internet and according to what I read about this shaver, it has automatic international conversion. Although it does not mention 220, I take it that the shaver will work on 110 or 220.

I used it in Europe(France) and it worked fine. That's what I bought it for ie travel and Babyliss is the European version for 220V. Can't use it here in the US which is 120. It is sold for US market under Conair as Infinity Spin Brush, so that one is the one I use in US. So I have two Conair for US 120V and the Babyliss you are asking about for 220V countries ie Europe. Can't convert from one to the other. Hope this helps.

I would have to say it would be the convenience of having just one main shaver unit. It works great. It also fits in the travel case with the main razor and head. You should look for a coupon. I found a $10 off coupon from Phillips Norelco and snapped one up. Glad I did.

Definitely dual voltage. Was great for my european trip in december. Got plenty hot for my thick curly hair. Fairly lightweight too. Dont forget you will still need a plug adaptor. Which on varies on the country you are visiting. Safe trip!

I don't know the men's Panasonic version either. I like this trimmer because it's delicate and you don't feel it rub harshly on your skin.

Hello, Two of these I bought from Amazon.com were made in Netherlands. After having heaps of different shavers in last 54 years ... (sounds ugly) this is not a tick short of being a sensational shaver. I am not paid to say that, I believe 3 weeks + of battery life and very efficient shaving system is great. I was a bit on mean side and did not pay for 3D model ... as I find 2D to be great. Strongly suggest it. Cheers,Srecko

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

Did you ever find out? I bought the BG2020 thinking it was dual-voltage which all my electric razor/travel type products are dual-voltage and I was surprised to see the adapter is only 120V. It is not a big problem since I can use a small voltage converter but if the 2030 is dual-voltage, I may just send the 2020 back and buy the 2030. Any comments?

This Panasonic shaves as close as the Mach 3 for me, but only if I shave wet with cream. I use Cremo Cream with the shaver and the combo is fantastic!!!

I have not used this particular one in Europe . I was in India recently and had another dual voltage flat iron with me....not a professional one like this. It heated up beautifully with me using my wall adapter. After doing half of my hair, though, it suddenly blew up, and I had to throw the flat iron in the trash. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to this particular model, since it's a professional one, but can't say definitely if it would work well or not. It should, as it's dual voltage, but then again, the one I used was supposed to work in Europe, as well, and didn't.

The question is not clear to me as I have no pictures to look at. But the shaver I bought was a great big disappointment to me. It is totally worthless.. will not work at all and hasn't after using two times. The only reason I did not return it... all papers and etc. had been thrown away.

The shaver works with 120v - 240v automatic conversion so doubt there will be any problems, I'm from Australia and have no probs with the units power.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

The input is rated as 100-240V, read straight off the charger. It's not "dual voltage" in the sense that you don't have to switch anything to use it in different countries, you only need the appropriate adapter (not transformer) if that country doesn't use the standard U.S. plug system. With the right adapter this trimmer will work anywhere in the world.
