This Mac will support either 110 or 240 for compatibility in Europe or the US. Here are the spec's from Apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/sp546

The one I received does not support 240v. However, I find it hard to believe that there isn't one available for this unit.

Yes, it's 110V. Same as here in US. Most of Europe is 220. If you're not sure, buy a converter. They're inexpensive and easily available both online and in electronics' sores.

Here in the US the standard is 110V with a couple of breakers set up with 220 for the dryer and such. You can tell a 220 because they're the ones with the big plug with tines that come out in a triangle. I believe the EU uses 220. Adapters have to be used when you jump the pond.

there is a European style plug included with the unit and it is rated for 240 volts

I bought this product (MP OTG300 LTOP) and the tiny print embossed in the plastic on the bottom says "Electrical Rating 125v 15A 1875W 60Hz". No hint that it's rated for 240v. I did NOT buy it off this Amazon site, where it's referred to as "Worldwide", so maybe there are two versions of this device, both designated MP OTG300 LTOP, one good for use at 240v and one not. If that's the case, you need to be certain which one you're really buying. The text on the outer packaging gives no clue; I had to remove it from the package and look at the fine print on the bottom.

You're right.........that's a European plug in the photo.But the units I received had our American plug.The transformer is actually 110 or 240 volt.

I think European plugs are round.........and also a different voltage so you must have a unit destined for a different country

It's just a standard "American", three prong, grounded plug with four standard grounded outlets. It is not a European voltage converter. You would need a seperate converter.

The model I purchased thru Amazon is not for use in Europe - it is 120v only!

This unit is marked as "120Volts - 60HZ. The UK is setup like most of Europe with 240Volts - 50Hz.

Sadly, this power strip is *not* rated for any but U.S. According to the molded plastic bottom-side of the strip:15A, 125VAC, 60 Hz.Glad you asked - I spend a lot of time in Europe, and have been meaning to verify whether this could handle the 240VAC/50Hz. It cannot.

I do not think this version is. Good news is..There is a 240V version offered! I first saw the unit at Lee Valley tools. They offer both the 115 @ 240V versions. Amazon has a better price. I love the device. It functions exactly as described. My Vacuum switch was difficult to get to. Now I don't even have to think about it...automatic, worth every penny. The only critisism I would give is that the mounting tabs are not all to stout. Has not been a problem however because I have it mounted out of harms way. I highly recomend this device :)

I would think you need a converter since this a 120V product. You could check with the company to see if they make a 240V version.

Mine is working on 110v, but not sure if it will handle 240, as I am not at my house to check.

ya, it has a European adapter I think, but the regular plug is standard 110-120 voltage.

Hi Cyrus. Yes, it is 120-240 volts so it is electrically compatible all over the world. To be physically compatible, either carry a universal AC adapter (best) or you can change the power cord to have a local plug. The power cord is a fairly common twin-wire appliance cord. Another option, for Germany, France, Spain, and some others is to purchase the item on amazon.de. You'll get a compatible cord. Cost is similar to http://amazon.com.
