What are the technical specs on this machine please? I want to get an idea on the price of a power converter for use in Australia. Thanks!

Here's what's on the unit: rated voltage 110V, rated frequency 60Hz, Motor Heating Power 250W/800W. I regret to tell you that this doesn't mean much to me, but I hope it helps you out.

You can get one for $40 orLess: a step down converter 220-110. But avoid Variety Corp as a distributor... They are very dishonest.

I live in the UK and have a vacation home in Florida. I love our Keurig, I've advised Keurig they're missing a trick by not selling to the UK and European market. Anyhow, we have a power "inverter" already that reduces 220v down to 110v for some less powerful electrical items we've taken back over the years. After a little research we are buying another Keurig Machine to take back. At 1500 watts you need to get an inverter that handles that amount of power. Check out 220-electronics.com. I'm buying the inverter here in the US also, way-way cheaper than buying in the UK and probably the rest of Europe, be mindful they are heavy. Inverters/transformers/converters, call them watt you like, they work fine. A bit bulky to have on a counter top possibly but I've figured out a way to hide mine and feed it to an electrical socket..... Happy Days!!

Since the electric voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz (alternating current), you will need a transformer (also called converter) to transform the voltage from your power outlet (230V) into the voltage your machine uses (110V in this case). I have purchased this sharpener for use with 230V in Uruguay and use it with a transformer (converter) without any trouble. Works just fine.

Thank you, your explanation is much appreciated. Here in Australia the voltage is rated at 240v as you say double the receivers 120v requirement. I think all power supplies can vary +/- 10v I understand that to be the case in the US where the local supply is rated at 120v.

can Australian customer use this product?Seems there will be an voltage issue?

110V, and I believe this model was only for North America and other 110V countries. It's a re-design & re-brand of an original Australian model marketed by Sunbeam, which was a 220V unit. Also, I don't believe that Krups is still marketing it---too bad, it's a terrific machine.

Hi. It doesn't work with Australian power. You would need a converter. Thanks!

Hi, I don't know if you could use it in Aus although I suppose that, with a converter, you could. However, the maker is Italian (220v I think in Italy) - they have a website - why don't you contact them directly and see what they suggest.

Yes, I am using it in Australia with 230V/50Hz supply. Just needs a physical adaptor for plug to fit socket (Mine only came with US plug)

Pardon me guys, saw 2 positive and 2 negative answer. My country uses 220VAC power supply and I would like to buy this. So, is this rated for 220VAC input as mentioned in the specs / brochure? Thanks.

We ship to Australia, but not this model which is in 110V and don't recommend to use a step-down converter 240V-110V because of different frequency. Thank you.

US has a power surge input of 110v, Australia has the highest one globally with 240v. If it does not work it will burn your device. I bought one in the US and I live in Europe which has a current of 220v. I was advised to buy a power convertor. Something that converts to an output of 9v 700mA. Any electrical shop will have that. Having said that, when I opened the box of the Leap Pad 2 Power I bought for my son the AC adaptor that comes with it says Input 100v - 240v and the leaflet that came with it lists the different currents for US/Canada, UK/Europe and Australia/NZ. I am thinking it comes prepared for all these countries but it does not state this clearly so I still have doubts. I am going to research more but the safest bet is to buy the power convertor which should be no more that 20 ozzie dollars.

Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to try mine out as the power is different in Australia from USA. Not knowing that, I plugged mine in and it blew up, so sorry I can't assist with your query, I just wonder why USA would send goods to Australia knowing these facts. The cost to have mine fixed is more than the value of the article. Very disappointed!! still paying to have my Havanese clipped Jackie.

It is a standard 120 volt pump. I am sure you could get a pump from Australia to replace the 120 volt pump.

It has it's own power cord, I do not know why it would not work in Australia.

I'm not familiar with Australian standards, but the receiver can handle up to 240 Volts, so it's compatible with US and European standards. Hope that helps...

The specs sticker on the case of my same make and model computer shows the 110/220 v, 50/60 Hz. It means it will work in either power source. Power supply from utility companies normally operates within a voltage range: 110v range is about 100 to 120 volts, Australia's mains is 230v, range ~ 220 to 240 volts. The subject computer can be plugged into either 110v or 230v outlet. The unit makes the adjustments.
