Assuming that you're flying, it probably doesn't make financial sense to lug/ship this thing over there. Especially if you're coming back in a few years.

If you're going from the US to Europe, you need a step DOWN transformer. Put a step-up transformer on a 230V outlet and you end up with... 460V!

All you will need is a voltage converter plug for that country which I am sure amazon sells and it will not be a problem. I have a friend in England who uses a converter

Hi, I would say yes on the voltage. If you go that route, Make sure your Output Voltage is right (Also It's micro usb). What I would be concerned about is the Lag you would get. SmartThings is cloud based. So all communications would go from Europe to the States (Amazon Servers I think) . For a quick example. I have a motion sensor in the hallway. It has one basic function. Turn on hallway light. Even in the States, I'm sometime two or three steps in hallway when it comes on. If I was in Europe I could be at the other end when it comes on. :( Also I think Europe has different z-wave frequencies. I would wait until they get there Euro server going. Just my 2 cents. I hate it for ya, because SmartThings is so Awesome.

In my experience for the U.S. version, if you replace the included transformer with a 220 transformer that has the EXACT same power output specs and plug, it should work perfect. It probably won't be under warranty though. They may offer one with a 220 power supply since they are a European Company.

Just my opinion, please read manufactures installation instructions. Since the device says that it is 12 volt and not 120 volt I would assume a step down transformer would be necessary. Please read the current reviews for this device, some where in the back of my mind it was discontinued because of problems. If this is not the one that was discontinued I would suggest a search on U-tube for installation instructions. I have found some great videos instructions on u-tube.

I personally have not had the chance to take it back to Europe yet but I have taken back a lot of equipment such as my Numark 4trak turntables and other devices which have not had any issues regarding voltage differences that are found in European outlets versus American outlets. I cannot guarantee anything but I really don't think you will need a transformer to convert the power.

What UK appliance are you trying to use here in the USA. You can use any of the Simran AC models like Simran AC-100, Simran AC-200, AC-500, AC-1000 etc depending on the wattage of your appliance. Remember to leave enough margin for power spike while buying a transformer. You may call us at 630-775-1700 and we can help you in deciding the model that you would need.

I use the converter for step down voltage, so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe you will be able to. However, a warning is issued with the transformer saying that sometimes surges may cause equipment to draw additional wattage when starting up, sometimes double or even triple the design wattage usage(same might apply for amperage). I honestly don't think you'd run across that problem though, it'd be rare. Also, I noticed with this transformer, I don't know if it needs to be done this way for step up voltage, but you must do everything in steps. You have to select the proper input on the unit, then plug in the unit, then turn on the unit(close breaker), and then plug in your output plug equipment. If you don't follow this order exactly, it'll trip the breakers in your home. It has done this several times at my apartment in Italy, but when I did it this method it never tripped. And when working properly it has a very light buzzing noise but it's not too noticable. And when working properly, all my equipment has run just fine, no problems, and I've been using up to around 1900 watts, 1100 for microwave and 800 for coffee pot at the same time. It has also powered my entertainment equipment with no issues. Hope this helps.

would it be compatible if we use a transformer that we use of our US DVD player in the UK

The proxxon saw uses a transformer as well to operate. I use the NG 5/E proxxon transformer for mine. There is another weaker transformer that you can buy, but is does not have as high a rating or positive feedback. So to answer your question. If you have the saw and the transformer and can use a conversion plug at the end of the 110 plug on the transformer, you can use it in England! For expert advice you may want to contact Proxxon online and see if they make a UK transformer. I like my saw and make sure you order lots of blades! Good Luck!

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

Although the adapter has a global voltage compatibility, I guess you may find the plug does not fit the electrical socket in your new house. In that case ,either You can buy a converter from US plug shape to UK plug shape, which cost less, or you can buy a transformer with EXACT the same output parameters, which cost a little more. I am lucky because socket in China is compatible with US plug:)

I'd say no: the version I received, which is made for the US market, is listed as 110-120V only. Marshall must make this unit for the UK market, and those units should be wired for 220V.

I don't know if you are in the states, or abroad. Generally with appliances, if abroad, you need a device to convert the current. I did not have any problems getting mine to work, and it still works just as fine now, as when I first purchased it. It also need to charge first...and so you plug it into a wall outlet to let it charge. Hope that helps. Margie

You will need a 120v to 220v step "up" transformer if it is from another country and you want to use it in the US, You will need a 220v to 120v step "Down" transformer if it is from the US and you want to use it IN another country. Try the "Goldsource STU-100" "up\down converter $11.99 on amazon

Mine is. There are no voltage selectors anymore on products produced for U.S. Domestic Consumption. But Cambridge might well have a Power Supply that will mate with it for its European model equivalents. I'd check with the Amazon site appropriate to your own region before ordering. A featured seller from that marketplace should have what you need..... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cambridge-Audio-651p-Blk/dp/B007GH31AG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398709968&sr;=8-2&keywords;=cambridge+azur+651a
