Ann from US again: Our kettle will plug into a grounded 110 volt ac outlet. Does this item come w/appropriate plug or adaptor for us?

The one we ordered came with 3 or 4 world adaptors, US and Europe, and Asia. The US plug is two-prong, not three prong so I guess it's not grounded but I use it all through the U.S. and Asia and haven't had any problems.

Do not plug in to 220 or 240 volts unless you have a step down transformer which drops 220 volts to 120. If you plug this without a stepdown transformer it will smoke the kettle right away and is dangerous.

You can plug in the base. The kettle sits on top and detaches from the base.

I have it plugged into 240v 50Hz supply. All I did was to change the power cord that came with it for one I had at home (the normal computer / kettle plug). I made certain I read the electrical specs in the manual (100 - 240v 60 Hz) before plugging it in. I'm very happy with it.

I wish an adaptor was available. I returned my kettle. I do own an older model that was made for use in the USA. I was able to get it repaired. It is the best!

You cannot use it with 220 volt and actually this kettle broke down within one year ,do not advise to buy

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

I am sure Krups sells a 220V version of this product. The product I bought in the US runs at 120V. You can get 220V kettles with higher wattage in UK and other places. The water boils much faster. Do not waste your time with a 120V unit and a converter. Get a 220V unit.

Hi Joseph, I only paid #19.43 for this item. The cooler didn't come with this adapter, only a car plug in, so YES you do need this in order to plug into a regular household 120V outlet. Look around the amazon site for a lower price for this item, it's worth it.

Am unsure of the current requirements but buying an adapter would be a waste. Buy a 110 volt immersion heater of coffee pot instead and you will be money ahead with less hassle.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly.

It's 110V, but please know it only lasts about two years. The heating element burns out and it will not turn on. However, it did work very well for two years. You can get an attachment to convert the 110 to 220V. Amazon sells them. I would recommend this one though...it makes hot water VERY fast and we have had no problems with it: Chef's Choice 681 Cordless Electric Kettle

According to Kettler USA's website, a '110 volt power source required'. See their downloadable manual for detailed information

Yes, mine came with a DC adapter (transformer) that plugs into an AC outlet.

This is a 220 volt unit but uses a smaller plug than your drier. Fahrenheat says NOT to use an extension cord so I would think an adapter is not the way to go. You'll have to buy the compatible outlet (readily available at hardware stores) and have it wired so you can plug in directly. This thing draws a lot of power so i would not second- guess the manufacturer on this potentially dangerous connection (if not done professionally).

The link to the instructions for the Bodum 11455-01US Electric Water Kettle can be found at this link: http://bodum.bodum.com/media/ifu/11445-01US.pdf The Euro and US voltages can be found on page 8 of the instructions. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Kelly Creek Traders

A grounded outlet is recommended, not necessarily a deicated oultet. I could not use this machine as it did not have 230v
