Just purchased this as wanted white &amp; unable to find one in UK. Is this ok to use in UK using plug adaptor or will it need a transformer??

You will need a transformer these machines are designed for US 110 voltage. I believe the UK is 220.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers). So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-Grounded-Universal-Plug-Adapter/dp/B0080SE6H2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1413903131&sr=8-13&keywords=ceptics

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

I had the same problem here in the Emirates, so I got a step down transformer for 220V to 110V about 20 UK pounds, and it works fine.

I live in the UK and used a transformer for mine for a while and it worked great. Not wanting a big transformer in the living room floor I went to my local Roomba dealer and found a 220v power pack that worked great and been using ever since without problem. The power is stepped down before it plugs into the base station already so it just uses a different step down plug.

No there is only an unearthed US 2-pin plug but you just need to attach a plug adaptor for your country because the unit will work of other typical voltages - -240v to 250v - without a transformer. You can easily get an adapter here (Australia) for $5 so I assume you can also in the UK for a few pounds.

You can buy simple adapters for the plug. NOT a transformer, just a plug adapter. Amazon sells them.

I was raised NOT to plug any electrical appliance into a different voltage outlet. With that knowledge, and if it were me, I'd order the one appropriate for the UK. Sam, I wish you the best of luck on your new USpicy 18W UV light. I LOVE the fantastic, professional, long lasting manicures I get from mine. Sincerely, Lin of Redding, CA

When I ordered mine it came transformer with power cord. Just to let you know mine came in white but it was still the same model. Had to replace cause of power surge. Works great!

Hi, I bought one, I live in the uk, you have to buy an adaptor that converts to to 240v from Amazon. John

You would need plug converter for UK , since it has the us plug. However you won't need voltage converter since it works on both 120 and 240 v

Mr / Mrs Baker - The adapter that comes with the MOVE is 110/240. All you would need is a device similar to this: UK PLUG ADAPTER VP 20 - CONVERTS GROUNDED USA, EURO AND AUSTRALIAN PLUG TO GROUNDED UK This particular one might not work because the MOVE plug is not grounded. Try searching on Amazon for a Euro Plug / European Adapter etc. I'm sure a device like this would come in handy for other electronics as well.

sorry did not pay attention to that.just make sure you have a transformer if you are gonna use it some other country.

Clarification: I didn't ask you where you want to use this transformer so the info about London might be useless to you. Basically, this converter kit has worked for me in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada. except London but anywhere else in England.

You would need a transformer, may not really be worth it. If you live in europe, I would suggest buy from amazon uk or de. Then you can use it with 220v.

It needs a 6 volt, 300 mA power supply. The one that came with mine expects 120 volt AC at 60Hz and has the US 2 prong plug. So it probably won't work without a transformer, but you can probably find a replacement with the same output voltage for cheap.

Hi everyone! I actually started this thread ages ago and got a notice about the last post so I thought I would chime in. :)I ended up buying a GHD in the end. It is UK plug, so when I use it home, I have to use a plug converter. Nothing electric, just to make is usable in the US plug (2 spoke vs 3 spoke). It works wonderfully, but plan on getting the plug changed over since the UK (3 prong) is MASSIVEEEE and heavy and a pain. But my hair looks wonderful! Look into the GHD. They are ALL "Universal voltage", so all you need is the plug converter which you typically get in those travel kits with adapters/ converters. Hi everyone!
