can this shaver take 220V? i burned out a panasonic shaver thinking the AC would allow travel to europe and china.

YES!! I just received mine today and had to verify that I can take the charger with me to Europe. The FR-500 can take 220V. Both the user manual and the charger clearly state that it can adapt to voltage between 100V and 240V and 50/60 Hz. Of course, you'll need an adapter to plug it into the outlet, but it CAN handle the voltage.

Hi, it works with 220v... This is a powerful trimmer but it gets very hot very quickly !

No, it's a 120V charger. But, you just need a charger the puts out around 4-5 V with 600 mA. Really like the shaver though. You can pick one up overseas.

Of coure,don't worry about it, the old spice shaver has a 110v-240v adapter.

Unfortunately, this model is only for 120V and is made for the USA market...I don't see any compatible Panasonic Models made for the 220/230/240V countries...call Panasonic Spain and ask them if there is a compatible model for the SR-DF101 in Spain...that would be the quickest way of finding out...

I know this machine would work on a German household receptacle as long as a person had the proper adapter. I do not know if a German receptacle is called a 220 volt or not. I do know I used my electric shaver and some other household items there with a proper adapter.

No these trimmers are not 220v. They will not work properly. I recommend using a rotary motor trimmer like the wall detailer along with a step down transformer. The transformer will change the 220v to 110v and being rotary motor the trimmers will not be affected by difference in hertz. The detailer use the same blade as the razor/edger.

I gave mine to a friend in china, there are 220V ,and he have not told me any problem . I hope it helps.

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.

It will work in Europe with converter or you could approach your country Braun Service Center to purchase a 220 - 240V charger. I ask my country Braun Service Center (Singapore) and they quote me S$45.00 (US$34.00).

My wife tried to use a hair straightener in Italy. It is 110v stepped up to 220v. Unit got very hot and began to smoke.

This is all I know. In the US, charge by cord when necessary, but do not shave with cord attached.In China you can use the same thing.In other countries which use 250V, you might try buying from Amazon a simple voltage down converter, which is cheap enough. I think I have one. Then you do the very same thing. Of course you could try calling 1 800 332 5368 which is Panasonic's help line

I'm afraid I don't know :-(. I bought it for my trip to South America. It turned out I really didn't need it because I found out all of my appliances worked well with 110/220 :-)

Yes, I'm in the USA using it now for an electric toothbrush charger that uses 220V input. The adaptor male plug is standard, normal 110V American two blade design. The only warning seems to be not to put in a device that needs a lot of current, my toothbrush charger does not.

With the 110V standard used voltage used in the US. Unless I'm mistaken China has a 200-220V system therefore you would need a transformer of some kind. Or see if it comes in 220 volts to alleviate the use of the transformer.

Yes, it will work on 120v as well. I have had my Braun Series 1 four or five years now, and would not trade it for anything except a brand new Braun Series 1. Mine works great. The shaver foil and cutting head lasts months for me -- way longer than other brands of foil shavers I tried in years past.
