The cheapest I found was for $25 on ebay which I didn't get because I'm hoping to get it cheaper.

Glad to have found this discussion. I also saw the downloadable manual which says it must be plugged into 110v outlet. The rep I just spoke to at Philips said the same thing... though he was just going by the info in the manual too.I have seen numerous comments from people on product reviews around the Net saying it will take 110 to 240v. Some people say it won't.My question is this: is there anyone else in this discussion (other than Nathan and Serghei) who received a 110-240v adapter? Also, M.Lee, does your (now dead) adapter say "110v input only" on it? When did you by it, and where from?Thanks folks. I travel a lot, and most countries I go to use 240v, so I am keen to figure this one out. Glad to have found this discussion.

Does anyone know where I can buy a 220V unit. I am going to India and the apartments and environment are horribly dusty. I want to take a unit from here but dont think these converters 220 - 110 that area available in India work that well?

Could someone who owns this, read the AC Adaptor and read the power input voltage specifications. it will say something like 110v or, 110-240v 50/60. The only way to tell is to read this information.

There are two separate versions, one that uses 110/120V AC, and the other that uses 220/240V AC.Not knowing that at the time I bought the BK, I ended up with a 110V version in a country where the grid tension is 220V. I solved the problem using an adapter that can turn 220v into 110v AC. It cost like $20.With that being said, I must advice against the BK at least for gaming. I dont know about the model made for playing music but I can tell you that the gamer version is a waste of money.Then again, other BK gamer users seem to be happy with it.The solution may be to test it before deciding if you like it or not.

i wish i could help...my unit stopped working 3 weeks after purchase and has not worked for the past ~month. i will most likely throw it in the trash can. the manufacturer said they would send me a power adapter. i never recieved it. i am thinking twice about ordering anything from amazon as they appear to not care at all for their customers. it maybe time to revisit the brick and mortor stores. sorry for the venting. i wish could have helped

Hi, I just bought this from Amazon.com last week and received it yesterday. There is an AC adapter inside the box that is dual-voltage (class 2 adapter). It is made by Xing Yuan Electronics Co. Ltd. (China), model # XY-1202000-U. Input is 100-240 VAC, 0.6A Max 50/60 Hz. Output is 12V @ 2.0A. Hope this helps. :)

Yes! I can't speak for others, but the unit I received a couple of days ago (shipped from and sold by Amazon) came with two power adapters with 100-240V indicated on them.

Hey, I'm an Australian customer, I had to buy an adaptor for the power plug plug to have it operate, but it runs absolutely fine on AC240v 50hz, the stock product has an American plug that supports 110v, the plug in transformer (power supply is, 100-240v, 2A, 50-60hz) so it is compatable with Australian specs, Great product though :D

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

Hi Miguel,I live in Australia and have 240 volt power. I think most of Europe also have 240 Volt. I had to get a different adaptor, as the one that comes with it is for 110 volt only. This is a bit unusual these days, normally you would just have to get a plug adaptor and that is it. I actually had a plug pack from an unused mobile phone that matched the power requirements (5 volts 600 milliamps from memory) so it didn't cost me anything.I hope I have answered your question, but perhaps it is something Wahl could look at.

My system is shipping at this moment to Europe. I will let you know as soon as it will arrive over there.Just installed the system. Although 110 V is mentioned on the box, the system is working with 110 AND 220 Volt, 50/60 Hz. Mine is installed on a 220V and works just great.

Just looked at the unit. And while it identifies it as 120v, it does not specify 240v. I presume this implies it is not 240v compatible.

I am wondering the same thing. Is the power supply 100/240v compatible? Could someone please let us know, as this is the only thing holding me back from purchasing this.Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing, but in reverse. Since this is sold through Amazon US, will it be ready for 110 volts or 220? Someone told me that they should be set to "autovoltage" and that way I could just buy the adapter I need for the plug, but that isn't specified here.Thanks

If the adapter says it will run on 100-240V then it is the universal adapter kind and should work on 240V directly without any converter. But you need to make sure that the adapter is of this universal kind and not US exclusive one of 110V only (sometimes they make country specific products - so if you buy in US, it may be rated only for 110V only).
