Is it good for overseas electricity?

amazon sells a step-down convertor for use in europe & asia. it is a simra smf 200 for $13.49. it converts 220/240v to 110/120v for american products. it also needs an additional adapter for use in the uk. this plug adapter is an amazon cvid uk plug universal to uk plug adapter sells for $1.70.

I do not know because I have not taken it overseas. I absolutely love the product, though. Extremely well made and keeps my wooden floors free from pet hair.

I would find out what the electrical specifications are for the country you are going to and then purchase an adapter if one is needed. Should be easy enough.

Hi, if you buy it from a supplier in your own country it should be fine, but I would think it would work even with an adaptor plug to take on holiday elsewhere. Good luck.

For overseas you will have to most likely rewire it, most overseas outlets are different than ours in the US.Best to call the company after you find out what the electric volts and plug type is needed from the country its going to. If its going to a American base it may be fine, check before you spend money shipping. Best i got. Good luck. Anybody else?

Its great around the house, you will probably require a more powerfull product for that kind of voltage.

You will just have to purchase one of those volt exchangers before you go overseas. Unless you buy a new one when you get there.

No, it is only 110v. You could use a transformer if you are going overseas.

the adapter that comes with it is rated for 110-240volts and converts to 12v. My research says it can be used overseas.

yes, just make sure the appliance you are using it for has same voltage as used in Philippines.

You would have to ship all parts back to America at your cost for warranty claims. Also be mindful that if the fault is due to the foreign power supply you won't be covered by warranty. I'm not sure what voltage the grid in the Phillipines runs or how reliable it is. You might want to check those issues. A surge protector wouldn't be a bad way to go either.I've had no issues with mine being used in Australia, we juice about once a week and it's still working great.

Yes. You just have to keep it charged. Make sure wherever you are you have any necessary converters.

No, I bought one for my Mom who live outside the states as well and I had to by a converter with 2000 watt capacity , it was not that expensive though .

Update: It's been over a year now since I have been using it in Rwanda and so far so good. I haven't fried anything -don't know if there have been power surges or not but the electricity goes out daily here, and often several times a day on and off and I haven't had any problems that I know of with equipment being harmed. I mostly keep my laptop and phone charger plugged in and sometimes a lamp or rechargeable flashlight.

Yes it is. Just make sure to check if you need a power adapter in the country you'll travel to otherwise it will short-circuit

I use it with my house current, 110. Don't know about abroad or any higher voltage. Hope this helps.

Yes. No issues from our unit here in the Philippines when it comes to charging.

Yes I used this in Asia (240V) for two years. Works great I love this thing!

if they have 220 to 230 electricity it works real great. i am in germany right now and were used to those cheap once they had in the 1990's, this is much better, all your american appliances work on it (i have an electronic pressure cooker that requires 1800 watts and it works just great). what is also nice, it has a button switch that disconnects you from the current, the older once run continually until you unplugged them, now you just throw a switch. if you have a 220 appliance, it will work for you in reverse when you take it with you to the states. problem: i dont think amazon can ship it to an apo address (i just assume thats what you have), but if you are able to purchase it,and handcarry it on the plan with you or have someone bring it with them, you should have no problem at the airport. i left it in the box, taped it well and paid for a second piece of luggage at the airport. -for mailing make sure to check the apo requierements-amazon has a help section that states hat can be shipped. hope this helped. margarete
