This says universal voltage - so what is the plug? A US 110 plug or a 220V euro plug? How does it do both? I need it for a euro 220v. Help!!

A US 110 plug. You can buy a 220V euro plug (travel type) at Best Buy or Walmart to fit into the 110 plug.

It is not a European plug, it is a 20 amp plug. Most households only have 15 amp plugs. Replace the plug with a 20 amp plug, but first ensure that the plug being replaced is supported by a 20 amp breaker. (and shut the breaker off while replacing the plug!!) You can get the plug at any hardware store, they are easy to install.

US plug, but then again, I bought it in the US - you can try amazon.uk to see if it comes with a European plug or perhaps a converter that will condition the voltage so you can use it over there -

I bought it thinking it was European. Had to get a universal converter plug to have it work here in Germany. I believe it is a UK (United Kingdom) type plug.

One word: useless. I checked in the Internet the voltage of UK; it's 220V. Same here in the Philippines. I ordered four of these items from Amazon. Gave 3 to my close friends as gifts. When I plugged mine into an electrical outlet, there was a small "WOOF" sound and smoke! The blasted thing is only for 110V!!! It is definitely NOT a universal voltage item. I immediately called up my friends, told them what happened, and recommended NOT to plug it in. Amazon should specify that it is ONLY for 110V!

My unit came with a regular 110 plug in. It is not intended for 220 as far as I know? If you prefer ask the manufacturer. Stay safe and know what you're doing with electricty before you tryAnything 220v.

They sent me the European plug version too. Amazon has adapters available that will convert the plug from European to U.S. The supplier offered to refund $6 which I accepted. They were very apologetic for sending me the wrong version.

I seriously doubt that it works with 220V. The plug supplied is for a standard 110V outlet. Additionally, if an optional voltage were possible, I would think there would have to be a switch on the unit to set to said voltage supply. The only way I see to use 220V is if there is a step down transfer on site that would convert to 110V.

110 volt and is plugged into the same surge protector, power strip as tv, dvd,satellite etc. USA. I do not know if it is a universal transformer (110 ... 220 volt) The voltage is probably stepped down by the plug adapter included. Im not sure I understand your polarity question?

Mine is plugged into a standard 110 outlet and it works great. I do not know if you could plug it into a 220. I would guess not. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer directly.

If you bought it in the US and taking it to Europe you need to convert the power from 110 to 220 or it is going to burn out. Either the power cable already has the converter and it is a small black box that is part of the power cable. All you need is an adapter for the plug. If the power cable is just a plain cable without a special little black box attached to it then you need to buy a 50 dollar transformer. It is cheaper to order those on Amazon as I have done.

It's a 110/220 v, USA standard, bought some USA > Europe converters and everything is fine! Great device!

Yes, I had one when I lived in the U.S. You just need to do a search for one that says 110 volt. The 220 volt is for Europe and much of the rest of the world.

I only know what I have read in the reviews about voltage. Apparently, though the US voltage is stated on the device, this model will also work in Europe. Someone talked at length about this. Sorry I can't site the location but it should be easy to find if you use the correct search words.

It is dual voltage, so it can be used safely in both the usa and in Europe. I just came back from the UK and it worked perfectly with just a uk plug adapter. The actual plug shape is the standard usa plug, so if you're going to Spain you will definitely need an adapter so that you can stick it in the wall there

Hi Gail! It depends on where your seller is getting them from. Ours come with a 110 plug but we are only allowed to ship to the US. Some other sellers are selling the Euro version and adding the converter, but have the right to sell worldwide. We recommend contacting your seller before you make the purchase... Or just get it from Paris Intimates ;)

Both. There is a switch on the unit to indicate the input voltage. Mine came with a 110 plug, so you will just need a plug adaptor if you want to use it with 220. I have used the unit successfully with both voltages.
