Are there any platics in this machine and would it be safe to travel all the way to Ireland and get here in one piece?

Hello Serephia, The UltraStream is made of several approved plastic parts but are all very durable; we travel with them all the time doing various demos. Just flush it out and turn the diverter to the "off" position, wrap or pad it and it travels easily. Call if need more information. 970-485-5955.

You should be good to go. I bungee cord my spey and switch rod tubes to the case. Can carry all in one trip.

No. It's a great machine, but is nowhere near portable. It's pretty big and heavy too.

This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either. I've been told European electrical currant is stronger than our and will burn up a computers, smartphone, etc. so I used this type plug to "downsize" the electrical current. BTW I've been told to purchase a curling iron/ hair dryer in Europe because even with any adaptor the European current will burn it up for some reason. They're not that expensive & it's better to be safe than loose a good hair culer or hair dryer. Also many hotels have some you may borrow at the front desk. Good luck. Enjoy your trip. Ireland is beautiful - I had only one rainy day, but it was quite windy.S This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either.

The box it came in? I don't have that anymore. And it is probably disassembled more at that point than you would make it if you were traveling with it. tjrnh@yahoo.com if you have more questions.

It's many small pieces, I'd say probably not for travel. We use it to connect two or more sets together. A set like the tidmouth tunnel or sodor wash would be better suited for travel.

Yes this appliance will work in Ireland and anywhere else in the world. It has a built-in auto converter. Thank you

yes, i bought from health-express Ireland. it is garbage, my old cutter that is 2 years old with "older design" and is better than this brand new "new design".

Yes. Always travel with mine, several times to USA and Europe and never had a problem.

It's quite reasonable, especially for a country like Ireland. It's not the most durable thing ever, but more than adequate for such a trip. I use it for 5-day trips around North America, the Caribbean, and Europe regularly. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7 or 7.5 for durability.

Yes. We took it to Ireland and the maps were very good. Worked well overall but you have to reset factory settings when you get back to the states for north america. The unit paid for itself as the car rental was 10 euros per day.

It should be ok travelling, but keep in mind the lid is not as secure as a screw on or snaplock lid. It is not a vacuum (though I couldn't see it coming off). Functionally it is the same as any jar. There is no magic venting or vacuum.

Yes - with a converter. I took it to Scotland last year and had no problems with the converter.

Yes, but the machine is a bit bigger than I expected, so it is not so portable.

It's been a few years since we used it; I don't recall any difficulties. We went in Ireland, and purchased the converter recommended for that country. The three previous answers sound more knowledgeable than mine.

As far as I know, you can purchase a converter and it should operate OK. Check luggage department for travel accessories.

Most likely it is made in China--it would cost a LOT more if it was made in Ireland!
