Is this safe to use with a step down transformer for American device charging in Europe?

Yes. as long as the input side is capable of 220V-250V 50 cycles. Before you buy a step down transformer look at the input rating of your current charging transformer. Most of those made in the last 3-4 years (phones, ipads, laptops) are dual input and will work with 120-240 volts 50-60 cycles input voltages. You may not need to buy a stepdown transformer. But in many cases you will need a plug adapter to fit the European outlets. Most airports will accommodate the standard USA flat 2 prong style. This Tripp Lite will work in most European wall outlets and accommodate USA and European plugs. Yes. as long as the input side is capable of 220V-250V 50 cycles.

The charger has the two small prongs so you would probably need the European voltage plug converter but I think they are reasonably inexpensive and easy to obtain.

I assume it can be used with a step down transformer. I spent many years in Germany in USAF and we used step down transformers for many things.

The US style plug has a DC voltage converter built in (the little wall wart). Input is 110/220V, 50/60Hz (output is 12V). So as long as you have the appropriate plug adapter, you will not need a step down converter to 110V or an additional charger.

Remember this item is 110v and won't work outside the US. Most European countries are 220v the UK and Ireland are 240v. You can't use an adapter and a transformer would be too expensive as they eat up electricity. They have these in other European countries in most hardware and DIY stores like OBI or Hornbach in Germany, Homebase or B and Q in the UK and Ireland.

According to the charger it works on 120 VAC 60 Hz. 50 Hz should not be a problem, but a step down transformer is needed. Some hotels have transformers and/or power converters that can be used. An adapter plug may also be needed. When I went to Europe, I purchased and adapter set that included a step down transformer.

Yes this will work. Your device only needs 1amp and will not use more than it needs. The step down transformer is capable of 3amps and could technically support 3 of your devices.

If your electrical is set up for 110VAC, 60Hz and you can use a typical American type Edison Plug. Then yes it will. If you are set up for 220VAC, then you may need a step down transformer.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

It doesn't require a 220 to 110 volt stepdown transformer, if that's what you mean. You just need a plug like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-American-European-Outlet-Adapter/dp/B008MEZGLO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1422836757&sr;=1-1&keywords;=american+to+european+adapter

Yes you can. This transformer will step down 220v current to 110v current and you can then use your 110v charger without worry. Also it has a large wattage capacity so no worries about chargers that do not draw much current. I have been using this one for a year every day and no problem what so ever.

If bought in America it is usually 110 volt. if so you would need a step down transformer.regardsGeoff

I too have the same question. I will try to buy a 120 V step down transformer.... meanwhile wanted to know which transformer someone has used it sucessfully with this? Is a transformer based converter needed or normal wiothout transformer work? I had one already but not sure if to use this or buy a transformer based 120 V

I am not sure that this will work with a transformer to step down the power. Jura Does produce a 220 V machine for the European market. It's the Jura Impressa X7 220 V. I am sure that they also produce other 220 V models. Good luck and I hope you find it.

Thus will not work outside US. If you have a step down transformer. It will work.

This one sold in the U. S. is 120 volts only. If you take it to Europe you would need to buy a step down transformer. It would be cheaper just buy one in the area that you are going to use it. This unit does not a release function so if it jams you will have to throw it in the trash. You need to get the cleaning papers for the rollers which I did not get and I no longer have the unit.

You will need a transformer for the voltage. We moved here from Europe and are using step-ups for the same purpose. That way our European equipment works here in the USA. I hope that help!
