does the charger work with 220V? I usually travel to Europe, and I would like to know if the charger supports 220V.Thanks in advanced!

thank you so much. Just to double check - this is the FlexCare and not FlexCare Plus.

Bo Cui, I will lke to know if, after your research and value time spent looking for this information, the SoniCare Flex will work fine with 220V. Thanks for your help and reply in this matter.Lucrecia

Found this helpful information for all of their models on the Phillips website: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=HX5620/20&dct;=QAD&faqview;=1&mid;=Link_FAQs&refnr;=0071221&scy;=US&slg;=AEN&vi;ew=aa12_view_partial.htmlI was also able to find the voltage information on my charger unit by completely unwinding the cord and looking on the base underneath where the cord is normally wrapped. Unfortunately my unit (Essence) is 110-120v, so won't work for my trip to europe without a converter.

I have the same question and was wondering if the toothbrush supported 220V. did you find out?
465263
Why can't they put this important bit of information in the product description!!??
465264
Exactly. I am looking for the voltage information all over the product description so I can click purchase button, I even contacted Amazon customer support, but I was told to call manufacture to find out. I have wasted several hours just to try to make sure it works in 220V, thanks for this thread. And I really hope Amazon can take action to list this useful information so people don't have to go through what I did.

I agree it should show voltage in the description. Got this answer directly from Phillips.. DiamondClean toothbrush, Flexcare+, Flexcare, HealthyWhite, Flexcare Platinum Edition use WorldWide Voltage. "Series e" does not use worldwide voltage.

In theory, yes because the label on the back of this charger states, "Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 0.15A." I have not used this charger in countries with 220-240V so cannot confirm. However, I've used other 100-240V chargers (cell phones, electric shavers, laptops, etc.) where the wall voltage is 220-240V without a transformer/converter without issues.

If you plug the cable into a European computer, the USB is the same. If you want to use the charger that plugs ito the wall, the you must use an adapter that converts the 220 Volts to 110 Volts. Very simple.

This comes with a travel charger; just like what you'll get for cell phones or laptop. Meaning it is international voltage. You just need a convertor to change the US plug (2 flat pin) to EU plug (2 round pin).

It comes with a universal charger (100V-240V). But you will have to use a pin adapter for European outlet. Should be pretty inexpensive (http://www.amazon.com/Generic-EU-6PK-American-European-Adapter/dp/B0036VJ1OQ/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0R1SGK2YKZSZ3T1NT7J0)

I have the 220 charger. I don't know if it works on the 110V. There should be factory directions such as phone or email for you to contact them. I did call with a question and they are very helpful.

As far as I know, since the charger is a USB plug, if Europe has transformers that would convert to standard (assuming USB power is standardized world wide) it should work from the transformer (like ones used to charge your phone). Alternatively, standardized USB port on the computer should charge it too.

Should work in Europe--like prior models--charger works on 100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz.

You will need an adapter and a converter for whichever country you are going to. The charger is "American 2 prong" for 110, but you will need an adapter and converter from 220 for any thing you need to plug in in Europe. I am going to Switzerland in Sept. and got adapter and converter from Amazon.

No this charger is 110V only. Poor support. Better chargers on the market. I do not recommend.
2050895
No. The charger only works on 110 to 130 volt a/c power. It does not support 220 volt.
1239318
Excuse my ignorance about which voltage is used where, but the charger works in the states but would require a converter for use in Europe or elsewhere
1176468
Yes it does. The charger shipped with my two batteries is labeled to support voltages from 110v to 240v, as well as both 50hz and 60hz. I have used it on trips to locations with 220v 50hz and it has worked fine. Just remember that the charger has only the US two-prong plug built into it (it flips out of use and in for storage/travel). If you are traveling to a country that has other plug configurations, you will need the appropriate adapter.

The charger clearly states 110V. I used it with a transformer in Europe. Worked fine.

Works fine on 220V - using it very happily in China and, as all of my chargers can also handle 220V, I don't need a voltage converter!

I just checked my charger and it has the input at 120V NOT 120V-220V. So I would say no, unless you use a transformer.

Yes. The charger is rated for 100-240 volt 50/60c AC, and comes with a European-style 2 pin 240 volt adapter that fits on the 120 volt blade plug built into the charger. You might have some trouble finding a 240 volt European-style receptacle, however.
