Could this device be adapted to Europe? Is there a possibility to transfer to the European standards, f.e. 220 V and 50 Gz

Hi Liza. Do you feel comfortable using a transformer? If you do, then yes, it could be used in Europe. I know people who have used their KitchenAid products in Europe. Enjoy!

I have no idea; someone on this list should be more knowledgeable about international standards...good luck!

I went to this web site: http://www.kitchenaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OCManualsLiteratureSearchResultView?catalogId=10552&langId=-1&storeId=10202 Their in the PDF's marked as version "1" I found a page that said the device worked only on 120 Volts AC and 60 Hz. If have Amazon type this in the search window "Simran AC-5000 Step Up/Down Voltage Converter Transformer 110V/220V - 5000 Watts" right now it is $161 Dollars US. This contraption will allow you to power up ***any*** American made device, less than 5000 Watts of coarse. Many of the hotels are putting smaller versions in their rooms for their American patrons. I traveled a bit before I retired and I noticed American products tend to be cheaper, so the investment up front for the transformer could be big savings down the road of time. You order the outlets from Amazon and have a dual power grid through out your home. One 220/50Hz and one with 120/60Hz. I hope this was helpful.

Yes, you can use 220V 50Hz. The input voltage of the power adopter is a 110-220 VAC
2148582
Yes. It is set up to switch from US to European power voltages - BUT you will likely have to use a plug adapter (for the wall sockets in Europe) which can be found for under $10 here on Amazon.com or most electronics stores.

Yes you can but remember these are only adaptors and not voltage convertors. Make sure to check the voltage/amperage of the equipment against that of the country you are traveling to. Generally Europe is 220 volts and the US is 120 volts. Here's a handy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country.

Absolutely. The only differenze with US power would be the frequence (50 Hz in Europe, 60 Hz in the US) but nowadays almost no device would have a problem with that, so you're good.

In the specs says the input voltage range is 100 -240 Volts, so technically it may work. Never been in Europe, so I haven't tested it there. Only need the male adapter.

As long as you get an appropriate power adapter/converter for the European power grid it should work as needed.

I'd take it to a local travel store and see what they recommend. Should just be a standard converter. We recently bought a universal converter for our upcoming trip to Europe! Have a nice time!

Well, I haven't used mine in Europe yet, but since is says Input: AC 100V-240V 50/60Hz on the plug and comes with a European plug adaptor, I'm assuming its good to go. Just to state the obvious, I wouldn't plug this into 220v US, but 220/240v international should be fine. I have a ton of travel chargers for devices and batteries and everything with the 100V-240V 50/60Hz rating on it has perform flawlessly overseas.

I am going to say no as this version is not set up that way. I think there is an European version for that voltage and plug.
632488
Yes, though I haven't tried it myself at that voltage.I say so because I pulled the power plug out of the socket and looked at the label. "Input: 100 - 240 v, 50/60 Hz." The 50/60 Hz part suggests to me that they were trying to be compatible with European power.Hope this helps.Richard S (minor in EE)

You need to get a universal plug adapter for Europe and it will be compatible.
805269
not directly. you would need a converter like you need if you go to Europe to use your appliances over there.

You can buy a us to euro plug adapter anywhere. This is a us product-so of course it is not compatible right out of the box.
154669
Yes, you can. I've bought here on the Amazon a 220V modification of the GQ 5200 device. You should ask the seller to ship a 220V compliant device.
1386786
Just buy from a european retailer (for way less money btw!) where 220V is standard like Germany, Italy .....

I don't know....220 is usually for Europe, etc....you have to ask an electrian or where you buy or bought it.
