Hi. Is this device suitable for 220 volt current. I live in Europe and don't want to go down the road of a transformer.

The answer is YES. If you purchased the unit in the USA (as I did through Amazon), it comes (included) with a set of adapters for the UK and European standard power plugs. I suppose that if you purchase the unit in Europe this is a non issue. Regards.

Maurice, First I would go to the Cambridge Audio website & email their tech support for an accurate answer. I purchased the unit in the States so I'd feel more comfortable if you check with the actual Manufacturer rather than a consumer. Second (and more importantly), this unit is not reliable with an iPad. It is a fault with the unit, as I replaced the D100 3 times with the same result. I probably also checked it with an iPod, but do not recall if I had the same issue. My focus was on the iPad. Additionally, the unit is already out dated and there are other compatible interfaces that connect for "digital" audio." Good luck.

Hi. I bought mine in Australia (we are 220-240 volt) but it says on the plug that input can be 100-240 volt. Like a mobile phone I guess.

To the best of my knowledge, this is NOT a dual voltage device (e.g. it doesn't have a converter internally for 220V down to 120V). You will need an exxternal converter for that.

There are in fact transformers to convert Europe 220 volt to American 120 volt. See Amazon Voltage Converter From 220/240 to 110/120 &From; 110/120 to 220/240by Seven StarI have used them they work fine.

The device I bought works with 110/220 V. I just used a plug adapter for the power outlets in my country.

Absolutely not. Buy only from a European Amazon site to be sure of 220v and the right prongs. Don't use a converter. It will fry your appliance.

This device is rated for 120 volts at 15 amps service. Attempting to run 220v will probably cause the circuit breaker to trip. I personally would not recommend doing this setup.

The short answer is NO. The European version of electricity is generally supplied at 220 volts and a frequency of 50 Hz. Officially it is 230 volts plus or minus 10%. Have a lot of respect for 220 volts. It can easily kill you if you plug the wrong thing into the wall outlet.Small 110 volt electrical appliances like radios and razors can normally operate with a 50 watt 220 to 110 volt step down transformer. This is a heavy little package of solid steel plates and copper wires. If your appliance is marked only 60 Hz, and not 50/60 Hz, you run the risk of burning up something inside even when using a 220-110 volt transformer. If your electrical device has a transformer in it, you probably should not bring it to Europe. Lower frequencies require thicker transformers. Transformers designed for 60 Hz operation can overheat and sometimes burn up when used in 50 Hz circuits.

Not sure what kind of adaptor you might need? If you live in a European country and their electrical system is other than 110, you would need to get an adaptor. Otherwise, I don't know of any other adaptors needed for this electronic device.

I visited USA last summer and I brought some chergers etc with me from Europe that use 220V only. Power Bright VC300M voltage transformer did a perfect job. There is a 500W model as well if the power consumption of your equipment is higher.

It only comes equiped for 120V, 60 hz. You would need a foreign travel adapter set to use in most of Europe.

It is 120 v, I don t think this will work with 220 but I have never tried it.

I do not have first-hand experience using this transformer in Europe, and it might depend upon the country in EU in which it will be utilized. However, I used this transformer in the US to step-down from 220 to 110/120, and it worked very well. I was in Italy and Greece in June of 2012, and used a travel type charger for electronics (low capacity; small size). You are doing the same (220 > 110), but at a higher capacity for the tool battery charger. If you research the maximum current draw potential for your battery charger, you may find that you can use a smaller transformer size (e.g.; 1000 or 2000 watts). Good luck ! David Chaplin.

You can buy a transformer that steps the 220V down to 110/120V (looks like a block with the standard European plug on one side and 110V outlet on the other side). Look in the electronics section/travel section of stores. These are pretty common and run around $20.

I plug it in to a 120 socket. Sorry I can't tell you if it can handle 220. Try calling Maytronics and see if they are a better help.

No, this device only works on 120 volts. If your household current is 220 volts, as it is in many parts of Europe, this device will not work and it would be dangerous to attempt to plug it in even if the plugs match up with the receptacles (which they most likely would not).

I'm sure any voltage equipment less than 220V would be ok to use on the transformer....assuming the transformer can be used "up to" 220 volts. Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm assuming you would like it to work in a foreign country that uses 220v... if you go to amazon.co.uk, you can find them (a bit pricey-er but exactly the same product but in 220)... one nice thing about it... if you already have an amazon account... it works just as well on the amazon.co.uk site... hope this helps!
