Has anyone who bought this recently (second half 2013) tried using it in 220-240v countries? Some people say it works, some say it doesn't.

I tried using it with 220 volts and it stopped working. Do not use it with higher voltage!

Buy a recent and does not work and I have 220v , someone could help me I can do ?

The simple answer is yes, it works on 100-240V and AC 50/60Hz. However it ships with a power cord based on the country in which it's purchased. So if you buy one in the US and want to use it in Europe, you'll need a plug adaptor (not a transformer, just the adaptor which you can get from Amazon, Radio Shack, etc.)

It says it works on 100-240 volts. However, it only has a two prong typical 110 VAC electrical connection so I'm not sure how it would work on 240. There is no switch for 110/220 so it would have to automatically switch voltages internally.

Well, technically it works in America "under 220V, since the standard in America is 110-120V. (That range is "under 220V".)Assuming you really meant (semantics matter) was "Will it work outside America using 220V?", yes... The rating for the power transformer 110-240V (50-60 MHZ). I travel with this computer and use it frequently in German and China. The only thing needed is a plug adapter to give the plug the right "shape" to fit foreign sockets; the voltage is fine.

Dual voltage as.... can you use them here and in Europe or South America? Theirs is 240 or something like that and ours is 120 or so. Unfortunately this will not work on 240 as is. It would take a converter. But I haven't taken mine abroad yet. It would be too heavy or bulky for travel anyway. Flat hair abroad :-). I hope this answers your question if not reply back and I will try again.

I would not try to use it in Europe. Instead, I would buy a similar model that runs on the European voltage standard. Otherwise, you can ruin the device -- even with a voltage converter.

the unit power input take both 110V and 220V (but you have to convert manually), so just change the power supply cable and it will work. I am currently using it outside the US and it is working fine

I haven´t used in 220 Volts but have an awfull experience with it. The hard disk make funny noises, it turned off all the time, it freezes all time. I return to the seller, don´t buy this piece of junk

I've gone through 3 of these over the years. The first two only worked on 120V. The one I use now works on both 120/220 Volts, so I believe the newer ones work on both.

I`m also in a 220V country, I bought a 47u/400V capacity and a 300V resistance(this is to protect from surge I think), now it works normally. Remember to test output voltage before powering on vacuum....

I used it with a voltage transformer from 220 to 110 and it worked fine for 5 weeks. Then didn't! One problem is that the voltage might be right but the frequency is wrong! The voltage converters don't change the cycles and from what I've read it can cause problems. You can however but a 220 v version, so I'd advise to get it and not use a voltage transformer.

I am not sure if it works with 220V. I know it comes standard with the 120V plug, but I also know one can buy an adapter to fit the 220V, but I don't know if it is rated to handle that much power.

I would like to buy this machine but first I need to know if it works in 220V, cuz at home I only have 220v.Thanks.

The input voltage is 110-130V, there is no 220-240V option. I will need to return mine as it wasn't stated.

Nicola, I own the unit in the US and its great. I looked at the power unit attached to the ring and its 120v rated for 50/60hz. My hunch is it should work IF you use a better grade of voltage converter (120--&gt; 200v) to minimize any flicker. Cheers! Rick

Yes it works perfectly in both voltage. I have used it in Africa where is 220v as well as US where it is 110v and it works perfect in both places. I have no complaints so far for 3 years though I do not use it daily as I prefer my hair to air dry, but when I have need of it, it does not disappoint. I hope his helps.

There is no indication in the owner's manual or specifications that it will work at 240 volts. Ordinarily, if a power unit could do that, it would not only be mentioned, it would be a selling point. So I would say no, it doesn't work at 240.The design seems to be specifically for the U.S. market, including the style of the power cord (3 prong). A direct connection to a 3 prong grounded outlet IS required for this unit to work correctly. Not doing so voids the attached equipment warranty.
