I am from the U.S, Is it okay to plug directly into the socket? Japan 110 vs US 120. Has anyone use the product for a long time?

Yes, you can use it at US, no problem at all! The only problem is that the button and manual is written in Japanese, but that does not bother too much, because you can understand how it works by trying it.

It is working just fine, even though there is no label on the product showing what the voltage suppose to be.

i think you might need converter while you use in China. China is 220v, but USA and Japan are all 110v

No, this will not work in Japan. Japan uses the standard US two prong plug.

I'd talk to the manufacturer - I ran into the reverse problem, trying to step down from US 220 outlet to a 110 circuit. I finally got them to acknowledge that it doesn't do that - it is made for international use, like taking US appliances to Europe and Asia.

As for the Japanese model, the voltage is 100 volts specifications. The United States is 110-120 volts. Therefore, I recommend that you use the transformer when you use this dryer.

As this model was sold in the USA it is suited for 110v. Not sure but I think you would have to specify that you need to use with a 220 power source. Being manufactured in Japan it should be possible to get.

Yes to both. Japan plugs look exactly like North American plugs with 110V and Korea is same as Europe. this adapter can be used anywhere.

No. This converter can not be used US plug into Asian sockets. There are other converters available from Amazon to plug US plugs into sockets in Asia & EU.

İ am using same way with 220v and no problem. By the way this is a very good product versus price.

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.

Not a converter. Look at the customer images. Japanese outlets use equal-sized prongs, so you'll need an adapter for that, most likely.

Its 100~110. I purchased in California and have been able to use in Japan as well.

this comes with a US plug so if your country's socket is not as a US socket then you will need to get the proper adapter

The model I had had a voltage selector (200-220v for Asia or 100-120 for Japan & U.S.) and I used it in Hong Kong with an adapter (different plugs). No problems. Used it a lot when traveling. Hope this helps.

Hi Alma,I ordered mine from Amazon in the US (since I live here) and it comes with a US plug and runs on 110 - has worked just fine. :-)

I used no adapter. The plug should fit into your standard USA socket. There may be different requirement if you live in Europe.
