Wow, 2 years after the last post no one, not even a Conair competitor, has wandered into this discussion?? I am looking for a GOOD dual voltage hot air brush for my upcoming trip to Italy and am still finding very little. The Conair still has the same problem. I am always astounded to find a demand without a supply in this material world... am I looking in the wrong places?

I too bought the conair didn't work out of the package returned it directly to conair one of the attachments (the one I use) didn't fit. My recommendationis buy one overseas.

The Conair hot air brush is "dual voltage" only because it locks you out of the High setting when you're plugged into a 240 volt outlet. Beware. I'm still looking for one that works, too.

The G110V2 only works on 110 VAC. Perhaps there is a model G240VX that will work with 240 VAC.Sorry, it really does a good job. Probably wouldn't do such a good job on 240 VAC for very long.

??? According to Amazon, this thread is about the Oral-B Pulsar 40 toothbrush. Are you asking about the Water-Pik? If so... these days most electric appliances can handle either US or European current (110-220 volts, 50-60 Hz) and only require a plug adapter. However the bottom of my Water-Pik shows only "120 volts, 60 Hz". Therefore, you will need to get a voltage converter from 220v to 110v to use the US model Water-Pik in Spain.

As far as I can tell it only works on 110 v, regular household plug. I do not think it could be used in Europe unless you had the 110 v. You might want to check with the manufacturer.

Hi, Lu-It has US, European, and English/Irish inputs and outputs - which also cover Japan, Thailand, Australia, and other places - so it's pretty universal. Note that it does not change voltages. It is an adapter, not a power converter. I don't particularly like how it fits into some inset wall outlets in Europe - the device has some weight to it, so it can tend to pull out of the wall. There are small adapters for Europe that work much better.

After doing a search for dual voltage flat irons, I ordered this one. When it arrived, there was nothing on the packaging or the product itself to make me think it actually was dual voltage. I came back to the website to double-check my information. I read again customers' claims that it is indeed dual voltage. I went over to the wall and, using a plug converter (from American flat to European round prongs), plugged it in. No sparks, no blown fuses. I live in Europe, and I wonder if the product will require replacement sooner than if I were in the States, but I'll cross that bridge later. I don't use a flat iron very often, so it may not be an issue. After doing a search for dual voltage flat irons, I ordered this one.

I fried two before I realized that, unlike most multi-voltage appliances made today, the Phillips toothbrushes DO NOT WORK on 220/240v systems without a special converter. A standard converter will not work either. You need a very low wattage converter since the charger is only something like 0.7 volts.

Yes, dual voltage means it works in France too! ;)You will need a Europe plug adaptor to get into their wall socket

The chargers that are sold in North America are 100-120 V. I suggest that you buy a toothbrush & charger in a country that uses 240 V to ensure that you get one that is properly manufactured for that voltage. Check www.amazon.co.uk. A travel adapter may be suitable, but you would need to check that out.

No voltage indication on the actual toothbrush. On the charger 100-240 Volts 50/60 Hz. Amazing toothbrush. Buy heads as well. Soft heads are very hard to find, mostly just STANDARD heads. Non-Philips heads I do not recommend, I have been there too. Let me know if you find SOFT heads somewhere. Thanks. gary777888@yahoo.com

All Philips machines can be bought for any voltages, however the one I purchased was returned because it was leaking all over. Buy one that is Made in Italy!

I think it is fine to use it in the different country. The voltage of this brush is 110-220v. I am travel between China and United Stated every year. I am sure it work~hope it can help u

Yes, mine is dual voltage. Therefore, it works fine using an adapter without any weird temperature changes or "humming" sounds. Mine has an American 110 plug but I have used it with the appropriate adapters in Germany, France, England, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Belgium and Czech all without problems!

I ordered this for my husband who is a hair stylist. If by dual voltage you mean works both in the US and UK, then no. If you mean multiple heat settings, then yes. He says "It's better than any flat iron I've ever tried. It makes the hair so shiny and silky - instantly."Hope this helps.

Definitely dual voltage. Was great for my european trip in december. Got plenty hot for my thick curly hair. Fairly lightweight too. Dont forget you will still need a plug adaptor. Which on varies on the country you are visiting. Safe trip!

Voltage is that for USA and America, not Europe. It does get a bit hot, though, if you are sentitive you will have to consider this, but it has worked fine for me, because I do not stick my head in all the way when put on high.
