this rice cooker is 110v or 120v? if it's not 120V can I use that in US or CA?

Yes you can. I plugged mine straight into the socket. The thing about these Fuzzy logic rice cooker is that they can automatically adjust the wattage to maintain the temperature, so as long as the voltage is not wildly different from the spec (like 220V) then you're good. I read a good discussion about this on ChowHound from an electrical engineer. Again, this is only applicable for a fuzzy logic, smart rice cooker. Any "dumb" appliance from Japan, you would be safer with a step-down transformer.

from what i know, it is designed for use here in the usa which has only 120 volts for these kind of appliances. unless they make a model with 220 volts, don't attempt to use the 110 volt model.

It is 110 voltage and would require a voltage converter in order to operate in other countries. I am totally satisfied with this steamer and it does exactly as it claims.

The nameplate on the rice cooker states that it uses 200 watts @ 120 volts a.c. This is way under your 1500 watts so you should be fine. Using Ohms law, electrical theory, you divide 200w by 120v and you get 1.67 amps.That's what the rice cooker draws in amps, which is what is important. Your converter should have fuse protection in case you exceed the specified amperage. Hairdryers generally use high amps. I think you're more apt to overload on a hairdryer than the rice cooker.

The literature supplied with the Chef's Choice 1520 is not descriptive in this regard. I called their customer service number (800-342-3255) and was advised that the 1520 is designed for US standard voltage only, 115/120. They further stated that their product is sold in some countries where 220/230 volt is the norm. They suggest look for local retailers/distributers to find a comparable product.

Information taken directly from this unit: 120V ac 60Hz 1450W This unit is similar to a slow cooker.

in the user manual it says 120 V which is usually 110. if you are living in the US you can use it.

Bryan, I can tell you that the bottom of the unit has a certified sticker on bottom which says:Model S2F2, rating 120V-60hz, 1800w. This is a sticker for the US and whether the unit can also be use elsewhere, I do not know. I searched all over it, sides, top and bottom but could find no other info. I love this cooktop and hope you can find more info from the company or amazon customer service.

In the USA 110v is 110-120v residential voltage. We only use 220 for appliances.

We've been using this model for past 1 1/2 years and this particular model is strictly for 120 volt use w/ Korean announcement only. So far, we're very happy with this pressure cooker except it's kind a little pricey for rice cooker.

I definitely would suggest you not to try that. If your rice cooker is 1600w, then you'd better use the 3000w above transformer. On the other hand I would suggest you buy a new 110v rice cooker. That make things easier...

No adapter needed. If your rice cooker is 100v its two prong which fits in the 2nd plug that accepts only two prong 100v plugs. (The right plug in the picture)

I think is 110 like u.s because my mom using at regular restaurant in California and most CA electronics are using 110. Also we are using this very well.

It is 110. However I do not recommend it. It does not heat much to really cook well.

Not recommended as it melted away the latch. I can't close it anymore. The service was great as they replaced it before warranty expired but I never used the replacement. It cooks rice longer than my cheap rice cooker. It says 120 V.

Hi Gina,Not an easy answer, I'm afraid. The underside of the cooker only says 120v 60hz 500 watts, but where the plug connects to the cooker, it says 10A 250V -The manual doesn't say anything. The manual gives www.essenergy.com and 877-877-9121 for customer support, but people have written here that they aren't very responsive.Hope that helps
