Does a Norelco Reflex Plus shaver have dual voltage for traveling in Europe?

No. I also have to tell you not to invest your money in this one. The motor is extremely weak. I bought it for my hubby and he hates it...he's still using the old Norelco I bought him in 1994. He says the motor is much better in the old ones.

I believe the Norelco Reflex plus shaver Can be used in Europe but since I did not travel there, I am not sure.

No it does not. In fact we've not been very happy with this shaver - the blades get dull REAL quickly.

No, you would need an adaptor for whatever country you were in to be able to plug in the USA charger. If you're from the USA, I'd assume that you'd have one for your travels and this shaver should charge fine (although I've not tested it).

I do not believe that it is dual voltage. I believe you could use an adapter for international travel just like you would need to use for your computer and razor.

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.

Yes. You could buy a combination voltage converter/prong adaptor like these, which is what I use when I travel to Europe: http://www.enjoy-europe.com/hte/chap11/electric.htmBut I'm pretty sure Philips is a European company, so they probably make a charger/transformer with cord designed for your 220V and round prong system if you'd rather not bother with converters. If you don't buy a lot of American electric devices you could use it with when you're not charging the shaver, I'd get the manufacturer's device. Also, and I don't know this for a fact, should something go wrong, using an after-market converter/adapter might void the warranty. Yes.

I'M not sure, however, i have found that in ost countries i have been in the bathe rooms have plugins specifically for shavers/razors. check with your hotel to see if that is offered they had them in london and dublin in both 220 and 110 .

You mean for using in Europe? No. But you can get an adapter. That part is inexpensive. However, it is NOT dual voltage. I wish it was.

i have used this shaver in the UK and Hong Kong, Japan And India and look forward to more travelling with it.

The strip worked well for me in Europe and on a river cruise with dual voltage appliances like my razor and IPad charger. I use a grounded european adapter plug to connect between the power strip and a wall outlet. Do not use 120 volt only US devices on 240 volt european current.

Hi, I've tried to find some euro-standard (220/50) device on maker site, on other distribution channels,...but unfortunately with no success :(The only suitable option I've found is couple purchasing the clipper with down-step voltage converter. IMHO it's too much complicated solution for such a trivial thing as hair clipper.

Yes, it does have a trimmer and also the only Philips Norelco shaver that can be shipped Internationally to most countries.

As a general the answer would be no. Much of Europe runs on 208 or 220 current, which will fry your electronics without a convertor. That said, there are electronics out there which are designed and capable of running on multiple currents. Some electric shavers, for example.

Actually it can be used both cordless and corded, the latter when NOT charged. This was it's best feature; here's why: you wake, get ready and Bam!, your shaver dies halfway thru the shave: now what do you do, miss your appointments while it charges? No, with this shaver you can shave, albeit awkwardly w/ dead battery while plugged in. However, read my concerns about other issues with this model on the question: "Will this charge in Europe"

No, it doesn't have dual voltage - not particularly light for travelling either

Yes it is for both US and Europe. You will only need a converter plug which you can buy at any airport.

Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer. If you are traveling, the wattage in Europe is 220/125. To change the voltage you would have to purchase a very expensive and heavy voltage converter (which people used to do years ago before dual voltage hair dryers and other appliances). Two choices: one, buy a dual voltage here and then buy the various plugs for each country, or purchase a dryer in Europe which is not dual voltage, but only for European plugs. I purchased one in Paris and another in London many years ago, they work great. Good luck (Conair makes a cheap one that works) Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer.

A good question because Remington trimmers ARE NOT dual voltage, useless if you ever travel or move countries. For small appliances like this there is no excuse for not having a charger that works on global voltage.
