Does this require a dedicated (or any) 220V or can it work off what is already in the bathroom? In other words, do we need to hire an electrician?

Dedicated 110 volts with 30 amps. yes, with a licensed electrician and contractor.

Suzann, Yes, it needs a standard U.S. 120 VAC outlet. It draws very little current so a light weight extension cord would work well if the outlet is not near the toilet. The toilet lid must be kept closed when not in use to keep the seat warm. Mine works fantastically well. Mel

It should work with a 220 volt system. The back of the device fits over a standard on/off wall light switch and moves it up or down with battery power, not household current. It does not plug in, and there is no electrical connection between the device and your electrical system. I agree with James Carey's comment and disagree with those who say it will not work. The only issue should be the size of your switch, the plastic knob that goes up or down to turn the lights on and off. I am set up on a 120 volt system, so have not personally used it on 240volts. If it does not work for some reason, I have found Amazon to stand behind its products, so would probably be returnable.

I can't see why not. You will need access to 110 volt outlet to plug in. I installed this in September of 2013 and my deposits have disappeared. Get almost nothing now when I flush my hot water heater, and faucet screens are no problem now. Good luck.

Unless you have one of those electricity converting boxes, this will not work. Most european countries use 220 V, while in the US everything is made for 120 V. Converters are around 100$, (the good ones) and they are metal and pretty heavy. I know people in Europe that have one converter per room, but it's a hassle to always have to unplug one thing so you can plug in something else. Find one that works with your kind of electricity.

Hello Steve. I am not an electrician but can tell you this unit will not operate on 110V. You will need a 220V service of about 60 Amps to run this heater. This is a very high amperage for home usage and more than a tank type heater would use. I strongly suggest you have a licensed electrician look at the heater requirements and give you a bid. This heater will not perform properly without the right electrical supply.

I am not a professional, however, if you are talking about putting in where there is only 220V, then I would definately consult with someone electrical. there have got to be a way, or call, email customer service to InSinkErator. Be specific with your questions. Or tal to a plumber as well. Sorry I dont know the answere to that, but we have inverters here in the states that will do what you are talking about, just not on a permenant basis. Their Customer Service dept should be able to answer your question, maybe the even make a european model? good luck, plus I still love my purchase.

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

Needs to be wired into 120 Volt circuit. Ours is in a half bath with two 100 watt bulbs (not supplied.) Works fine so far.

No, This item is a 120V item and will not work on 220V without an inverter or adapter.

Hi, yes it requires to be plugged into a 115-120 volt wall socket. The 220-240 would not work.

As others have said, it requires 12v DC. You'll need a power supply for operating it from household power.

No electrical power. It just works off of the water pressure. All you do to connect it is turn off your toilet supply line, disconnect it from toilet, attach supplied fitting and reattach supply line. Takes five minutes, super easy!

If your outlet has a ballast in it, you can not just plug it in. The light requires 110 VAC directly. It does come with an adapter, but I was not sure how to use the adapter, so I eliminated the adapter and wired it directly to 110 VAC. The directions were very hard to read and were written in very poor English, so I ignored them. Perhaps they are better now...

maybe yes maybe no...if you already have an existing switch on the wall that is just on/off that is 110v... then yes....just take it out and replace with this...if no then you will need additional components.

It has to be wired on a dedicated circuit, either 110v or 220v can be done. I wired a timer/switch to control it too.

Needs to be hardwired then plugged into a 120v 2 or 3 prong outlet, EZ to do with a basic stripper.
