The voltage in Japan is 100V, and the voltage in US is 120 V. Do i need an adapter and voltage converter to use this product in US

Nope. I am using it without adapter or voltage converter now and it works fine. May be little loose though... But still working fine at home, at gym, everywhere...

No, you do not need an adapter and voltage converter. It works pretty well in U.S., and it is one of the most efficient and useful hairdryer I have ever had. My roommate usually borrow it from me.

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

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. Some North American equipment will work fine in Japan without an adapter too.

Apparently the adaptor runs on a single voltage (120V). If you intend to get this, remember to get a matching transformer for your country's voltage as well.

For Japan, my understanding is that you may not need an adapter. See http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2225.htmlFor China, my understanding is that they use 3 different outlets. See http://traveltips.usatoday.com/electric-adapter-tips-advice-travel-china-24527.html

A voltage converter or adaptor is NOT required as the unit will operate on both 110 volts (as found in the US) and 220 volts (as found in Europe and other foreign countries) You will need a plug adaptor that allows the US flat style plug prongs to fit into european sockets that are designed to accept round prong plugs.

You would need plug converter for UK , since it has the us plug. However you won't need voltage converter since it works on both 120 and 240 v

This does NOT convert voltage. It is only an adapter. If you do not have the country of choice's voltage available in an appliance, then you will need a voltage converter.

Hi Anais, The plug on the charger is good for the US and Japan. The charger will work in every country with the proper adapter. So if you are in Europe, UK other countries you do not need anything else .

The Jlab I have is for 110V. When I was in Europe, before I left, bought a adapter for 220V to 110V

I believe you would need an adapter. I'm from the US and there isn't any 220V switch or anything.

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.

No, absolutely not. It converts between 120V 60hz and 220V 50hz and back. You can buy converters for Japan and the US. Thanks for the lesson that Japan stands as yet another differing standard. Interesting

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

Hello! My name is Ken and It is a support team of JAPANONLINE US STORE(Amazon.com Seller). I will answer your question. AC power of this product, it can be used to AC100V-110V. America will be able to use so AC110V. If it exceeds AC120V, you can not guarantee operation. Please note. Please email if you have any questions. Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------- JAPANONLINE US STORE Ken

Yes you will need a converter and plug adapter because it runs on USA voltage. Put you can also just use batteries instead. It has the capability to use either batteries or electricity.
