The output socket for 100V seems to be Europe standard, while Japan plugs are US standard. How it works with Japanese appliance?

Japanese standard is different from US standard and it works with Japanese appliance.

I bought a US model though I'm on continental Europe. I use an adapter for the socket, and that works fine. Also, don't forget to replace the lamp that comes with it with one of your country, since the US lamp works on a different voltage and will go 'pop' otherwise.

I think, this is single voltage for JP 100, but can be used for US 110 too.

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards

I thing it not dual voltage.if you buy it in us and canada 110 but you buy it on asia and erupe work with 240 acept Japan that work with 100

You'll need a plugin converter as it uses the standard US type plug. I don't see why you couldn't use this in Japan but do realize that you won't get the power out of the tool that you would in the US so it will tend to bog a little more than it would here. Just be sure to use really sharp cutters and slow your cut rate down a little, should be a problem. Please note: My experience with using 120V US equipment in the 100V Japan electrical grid are based solely on my use of computer equipment. Do be warned.

The shaver uses the standard American 120v 60hz two-prong type A plug. America and Japan use the same electric standard, so you don't have to worry about incompatibility concerning that. Furthermore, this shaver has a automatic universal voltage regulator, so you can use it with any countries electric standard and not have to worry about shorting or overcharging. When traveling abroad with this shaver you only need to worry about packing an adapter so your plug will fit into different socket types.

I believe there are two different sockets used in Europe. This unit comes with one built in. The other comes with the plug adapter set along with adapters for the various other sockets used around the world. I bought both at a very reasonable price.

This exact product here is for using Japanese products in America...But you can probably buy a voltage convertor to go the other way, from 100V to 120V.

I just bought this one on Black Friday for $54.99, I researched the product info and found this: Voltage Input: 120V AC U.S., 100V AC Japan, 230V AC Europe. I hope it helps.

It is a Type A/B plug, which is the same type used in Japan. Should be fully compatible in Japan.

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

yes, the charger is an universal 100-240V 50-60Hz one. the only catch is that it's 2 flat pin used in japan, you might need an adapter

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my seller is not shipping me the Japanese transformer as it is designed for 100V AC not our 120V AC. It probably isn't a problem, but I need to supply my own transformer and while I know the voltage and amperage out, I don't know the diameters of the power connector that plugs into the unit. There are a series of different sized power connectors, and it would be nice to get the correct one the first time.

120v is 120 volt 60 cycle. This is made for the United States. I Lived in Japan for over 20 years. Japan is 100v. Part of Japan is 50 cycle and part of Japan is 60 cycle. I lived in Miyagi-ken which was 50 cycle. This would work in Japan but eventually the motor would burn out. It would work alright from Tokyo south. It will not work most of Europe, the voltage is different.

I think the voltage for Japan and US is the same. The device works fine and I like the fact that the wind is not too strong like most American models. However, the heat it gives out is way too hot. I don't want my hair scorched. I am planning on buying a Panasonic hair dryer, to see if the "heat" situation is better.

It has an American style two-prong plug. It is made for 220-240 volts, 50-60 Hz, not 110 as in the USA. It comes with an adapter for the plug. The adapter has two round prongs. I live in South Korea and the two round prongs are what we use with 220v 50mhz here. You can use the plug without the adapter in Japan.
