Can this iron work in countries with 220 V?

From what I know you have to buy one that made for 220 volt which they sell. As far as back and forth to the us system I don't know. I can tell you for personal experience this iron/ steam generator is fantastic! I had two euro pros over the past 28 years this system is worth the price. I have no complaints about it at all. I live in a hard water area so I do use distilled bottled water. I sew on a daily basis so I need a iron/steam generator that works day after day and this one does.

You will need to check your flat iron voltage - UK uses 240v and USA is 110v so unless you have dual voltage flat irons such as GHD then you may also need a converter. My UK flat iron/straightners (not dual voltage) blew when I used with only an adaptor plug like this, in the US. So - you can use dual voltage flat irons, buy some flat irons in the US to use there, buy a voltage converter or chance it and hope they don't blow!

My guess would be no. It is marketed as 120v. 220 might burn out the motor.

No this iron does not use an adapter. It goes straight into the wall outlet. But it works on 110 v as well as on 220 v. I live in the Netherlands (220 v) and since this iron is equipped with an USA power plug (110 v), I had to replace that with a northern European plug. But there was no need to replace the power cable. It is made for both currencies.

The manufacturers usually say that the converter cannot be used with hair dryer or iron type of appliance. I have never tried. If you're traveling where you'll be in a good hotel, most provide you with either hair dryer, OR have a converter to use with USA appliances. Some USA model hair dryers have switchable voltage (as do electric razors), and ARE able to be used with the converter- as long as the dryer is switched to the 220v setting.

Yes, it works. But make sure your dryer or curling iron works in the range of 110 - 220 volts (usually hair dryers don't) because if doesn't it will burn. Europe electric grid works with 210 volts, and that is too much for electric divices that only work with 110 volts (like the ones in the US).

Absolutely. You'll need an adapter, by you have a dual voltage switch. You won't have any trouble with the iron going cold or burning up. I'm leaving for Manchester on Thursday, and I already have the iron packed!

Debbie, I just read the instructions: This iron works with 110-220v. You'd have to have a converter, I believe. I hope you can use it because I'm getting really good results. The more I use it, the easier and more creative I get!

Hi...sorry to say you can't. You'd need an adapter for overseas unless a newer model has added it. For what its worth its been a great flat iron.

Yes. I have the lead plugged in to 220v and feel comfortable plugging in all my 110v North American products. I don't plug in 110v products that heat up such as curling irons have used this with a 220v clothes iron with no problem.

I couldn't find any info that said it would work on 220v and there were no extra cords or places to plug them into on the machine so I would say no it will not work for your travels. Great little steamer tho.

120 volt USA I'm sure u will need an adapter to use it there.but this cheap iron is awesome for low price ones buy the extra tips differ sizes they are awesome to larger tips Dont run as hot according to my heat gun

Yes. Designed to handle 220 volts.. I've used it on my Hobart IronMan 230 with no problems.

Yes, you can use this for 220v country. I am using the same converter for my heater in India.

Nothing I see is stated about that. It does state, "universal voltage for worldwide use." It does specifically say, that you are NOT TO USE THIS WITH ANY VOLTAGE CONVERTER! The last answer is wrong for this flat iron. Possibly It converts automatically. Here is a telephone number I found on the brochure where you may get some better answers. Good luck. 1 770-552-8000 (they are located in Atlanta Georgia.)

Definitely NOT, the power your iron consume is too high. Irons does not care about the frequency, it only cares about Voltage; you need a transformer (with the correct power rating) not this device. Rgds. Marcelo

Yes it will. And be warned: I needed one for France, too, and could not find an adaptor that fit this iron. The iron has an American plug, but it's an abnormally large one so I couldn't find an adaptor that it would fit into. Good luck.
