Is this transformer available to use in EU to US voltage output? I need a 250W transformer to use a blender bought from US.

I bought it in the U.S. to use in Ukraine. So we were able to use it for everything from laptops to hair dryers. Just be sure to check the wattage of whatever you are using to be sure it doesn't exceed the capacity. This transformer does come in different wattage capacities however. I hope this was helpful. :)

Absolutely. My girlfriend used it step down the usable vlotage to US bought appliances

Yes. The input voltage printed on the bottom of the black transformer is 100 - 240V, 300mA, 50 - 60 Hz. Output is 5V, 1.8A.

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 would have to have a transformer, it did not come with a 220 option. But since it is a German company, the should have that version as Germany is 220. I would recommend ask the company. They answered my question in 4 hrs.

where did you order your motor from? If from the USA it will be a 110 volt and you will burn the motor out without a transformer

I looked in the users manual on the KitchenAid web site, and it says it's 120 Volts/60 Hertz, so you could probably use it in Europe if you have a transformer - but I haven't tried it. I'm in Germany, and we have used different appliances with a transformer in the past with no problem - but I have't tried this anywhere else in Europe. KitchenAid does sell German models of some of their appliances, but I was not able to find an online store that sold hand mixers - only the bigger counter-top models; and they were considerably more expensive than this hand mixer.

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.

No, because it's different voltage. In USA, use 115V so in order to use in 220V, you need transformer.

Hello, in answer to your question, this is a two-way transformer, so can be used in the UK to give 115 Volts output for USA devices UP TO A MAXIMUM POWER OF 3000 WATTS, so should power most items okay here in the UK. However, you certainly will need to buy some type of adapter with a 3-pin UK plug on one side, into which you can plug the cable end of the transformer into, like the one in this web link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CANADA-3-Pin-Visitor-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B000NPACOGHope this helps,Regards

Yes, you can use this in US, but you need a transformer to convert the voltage to 220 Volt. I have been using it almost everyday in US.You can get one from amazon.com:Power Bright VC100W Voltage Transformer 100 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt for $19.99.

my advice is NOT to use a transformer. Currently the VP112 is being marketed in 220V...with inventory in EU and Asia Pacific. Recently at food show in Singapore and there is a stocking distributor.

This appliance is sold in the USA to operate on 110V AC. The manufacturer should be consulted regarding its availability in 220V, or whether this blender may be safely operated using an electronic device which converts 110 to 220.

No, Blendtec wants customers to purchase in their own country. Therefore 220V in the US is not available.

I use the converter for step down voltage, so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe you will be able to. However, a warning is issued with the transformer saying that sometimes surges may cause equipment to draw additional wattage when starting up, sometimes double or even triple the design wattage usage(same might apply for amperage). I honestly don't think you'd run across that problem though, it'd be rare. Also, I noticed with this transformer, I don't know if it needs to be done this way for step up voltage, but you must do everything in steps. You have to select the proper input on the unit, then plug in the unit, then turn on the unit(close breaker), and then plug in your output plug equipment. If you don't follow this order exactly, it'll trip the breakers in your home. It has done this several times at my apartment in Italy, but when I did it this method it never tripped. And when working properly it has a very light buzzing noise but it's not too noticable. And when working properly, all my equipment has run just fine, no problems, and I've been using up to around 1900 watts, 1100 for microwave and 800 for coffee pot at the same time. It has also powered my entertainment equipment with no issues. Hope this helps.

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.

This blender is made for the US Market so it is 110Volt. If you are in the States all appliances are 110, If you are in the EU 220.

If you buy it from the USA no. But you could get a step down transformer and make sure it can handle 550watts
