Can KitchenAid 5-Speed Blender with Glass Blender Jar also be used with 240V 50 Hz in Europe?

Sorry about the delay. I deleted all amazon email thinking it was all junk.Didn't see this until I was deleting stuff from my phone. I dont' think it will work on 240. There is no switch to allow changing between 120 and 240v.

I got a Kitchenaid machine back in 2001 and bought a power converter. It is working ever since, no prob. But i have to admit, the converter did cost around $75.. So you have to decide, whether it is worth it. Since i have it already, it would make sense buying this blender here, and save, because they cost around $300 and more here in germany.

You can with a very strong adapter/converter. Those are quite expensive though and it may be more worth it to just buy one in EU. I lived both in EU and USA---the motors burn out quickly with this much power when using a adapter/converter. Hope that helps!

I would not suggest it. I used an adapter that was suitable and the motor burnt out.

This item is 120Volt 60 cycle only. If you want to use it internationally you will need a step down transformer. If you are in one of the countries that uses 50 cycle not sure how it will work but should be okay. If you are, you may want to ask that question. I have never been to Europe where that may be a problem.

Yes, I bought a thing called a Isolating Performer in Australia, fairly expensive about AU$350, which converts 120V to 240V. I use it for this mincer plus a electric mixer and a waffle maker all 120V.

I am not sure, I bought it to use it for my 110 appliances in Africa. But when I shipped it the shipping company did not deliver it until I left Africa. Now it is working with my Fridge, microwave and an AC unit. but I am not 100% sure about the 50-60hz.

Can not guaranty that it will work over there because I never tried it there, but don't see any reason why you should not be able to, except that you WILL NEED AN ADAPTOR to transform from a us plug to a European plug.(in general this is not a powerful blender and I would not recommend it even to use in the USA)

I believe what you would need is the Meguiars G220, which I believe will support up to 240V. I found some information here: http://www.meguiars-online.co.uk/product/meguiars-g220-dual-action-polishing-machine/

I am not sure. you would need to check your electric voltages in your country. I am not an expert at this stuff and do not want to ruin the mixer! I suggest you contact a authority on voltage and eletricticity . Let them know what you are seeking to purchase and then ask them the same question you just asked me. sorry that I could not be more of a help. Good-Luck

If your power specs are 240V 50Hz, you will need a power transformer for it to work.

No, Blendtec wants customers to purchase in their own country. Therefore 220V in the US is not available.

Unfortunatly no, I have just order it recently and discovered it doesn't support the 240v.You can try amazon.co.uk

I went to this web site: http://www.kitchenaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OCManualsLiteratureSearchResultView?catalogId=10552&langId=-1&storeId=10202 Their in the PDF's marked as version "1" I found a page that said the device worked only on 120 Volts AC and 60 Hz. If have Amazon type this in the search window "Simran AC-5000 Step Up/Down Voltage Converter Transformer 110V/220V - 5000 Watts" right now it is $161 Dollars US. This contraption will allow you to power up ***any*** American made device, less than 5000 Watts of coarse. Many of the hotels are putting smaller versions in their rooms for their American patrons. I traveled a bit before I retired and I noticed American products tend to be cheaper, so the investment up front for the transformer could be big savings down the road of time. You order the outlets from Amazon and have a dual power grid through out your home. One 220/50Hz and one with 120/60Hz. I hope this was helpful.

Hello: This KitchenAid is a 110V. You need an adapter for a 220V. Thank you!

this particular model is rated at 110 volt AC 60 cycle switching US Canada North America you're not going to be able run on the 220 240 volt 50 cycle. from New Zealand you have to have a localized version

Hi Mr. Lawley - I didn't know the answer to your question, but went searching. Found someone had asked KitchenAid the same question and a few more. I've copied the answers here for you. Hope that helps. Ginny Q: Will the US-model KitchenAid mixer work in Europe? A: Yes, they will work. But we do not recommend it. US units are 110V, Europe runs on 220V. This will slow down the unit causing it to overheat. Q: Is it possible to use a converter or transformer? A: That is possible as well, and again, we don't recommend it. Q: If I take my mixer out of the country, is the warranty still valid? A: If you take the unit out of the United States, it does void the warranty. Q: Are there any other hazards to using a US-model KitchenAid abroad? A: Hazards include: overheating, possible property damage, and personal injury. The bottom line is we don't recommend use of the units outside the US...due to the hazards that could arise.

No! 50cps is okay, but you will need a step-down transformer (voltage adapter) to go from 230Volts to 120Volts. I'm surprised that you cannot find a comparable waffle maker that accommodates 230V.

In the spec sheet it says it will work with 240v, you will probably just need the correct power cord or adapter. They also sometimes times have a small switch you might have to move from 120 to 240 http://m.benq.com/product/projector/MX505/specs/

Yes as long as you use a plug adaptor appropriate for the country. Neither does a 50Hz cycle seem to make a difference to the motor speed. Cheers, Bob
