Is the AC power also able to handle 220V (so I can use it if I travel to Europe)?

I'm not sure about that - sorry but if you're traveling with the fan I;d take the small battery operated one - it'd be perfect.

I exchanged emails with O2Cool in Chicago via their website, and got this reply (the "adapter" they reference is just the electrical cord/plug that comes with the fan): Yes. You can use this fan with the adapter which comes with the fan in European outlet . You just need to get the converter for the plug since they have different outlets in Europe. Regards,O2COOL

YES! The AC adapter is a universal input "switching" model. You just need a prong adapter (Europlug and/or UK Type-G to NEMA-5).Specs on wall-wart:Switching AdapterMODEL:SUN-1200070INPUT:100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.05AOUTPUT:12V --- 0.7A (positive center polarity)I was also pleasantly surprised to find the receptacle on the fan works well with either of the two most common types of barrel plugs... both fit and make good contact, so a couple car/cig adapters I've got laying around work just perfectly with this fan. The electronics near the plug (presumably the voltage regulator) gets noticeably warm during operation on wall or car power (but not on battery power), but after a few hours, it seems to be staying within reason.

There is nothing on the packaging or the cord to indicate that it can handle 220V without using a separate power convertor. I would not risk it, but would probably use batteries instead. Hope that helps.

Yes. I took it with me to Europe this summer and the input voltage was 220v and it worked fine. This will work for input of up to 240v. When you plug it in to charge it the base of the unit is a transformer so it adapts automatically. You may need an adapter to plug it in to charge it. Depends on the country you're visiting. You can buy a multi one at amazon or radio shack. They're inexpensive.

No sorry, this is 120v US version. There are adapters available to use US in Europe though.

It says "120V". I am afraid it can't handle 220v. But maybe a converter will do the trick.
186543
Yes you can. Mine is working perfectly. My power supply is also 220V. Had to replace the original once it stopped working.

It will handle up to 240 volts AC, in other words it will handle both American and European circuits. You will need the appropriate plug adapter depending on which European country you are in. Such adapters are broadly available at electronics, travel, and other kinds of stores.

I use this in Europe. I bought an adapter for 220 V, and over 300W, and you can use.
685898
Yes, the AC adapter states that it will accept 220V (at least mine). So you will only need a simple adapter.
1859834
it can be used in AC 220V/230V power. But I think it depends on "where" you order it : "where does the saler lives.If you order it in USA, you will need a voltage converter 110V to 230V (that's what I had to do)I whish I had known this before, then I would have been careful ordering it in EU.

Yes, it can be used in Europe provided you have the appropriate adapter for the outlet plug. Not sure about other places.

I know that the power is 220v in the EU. If you need to bring it down to 110v there's a simple adapter you can buy (here on this site)...
2125749
You can if you purchase or own a converter. The plug itself is standard American. I'm confident that the power specifics fall within the accceptable European range.
1331149
No, 110V only, just checked. I am sure you can buy a very nice one in europe.
1140949
110V only cannot be used in Europe. Of course there is an adapter that you can buy to convert the voltage to 220V.

Absolutely, fortunately it wont plug into a 220V outlet. We use this unit in a shop office, works great otherwise.

I don't live in Europe but my understanding is that the charger can work on 220v as well.

yes but you will need us to europe converter plug, different for different countries in europe
