International (220v) power? Does this product support 220V power? Can anyone who owns one look at the plug or manual, and see if it says anything about 220V or 50 Hz?

I have the same question - could not find any information on the Wahl web-site either.

It is very disheartening to see that an otherwise perfect product has no customer service. I live in africa, and I am urgently looking to buy this product. But so far a question asked since july 2010 has not been answered till the date of this post. Maybe I should look somewhere else.

No, this particular product does NOT support 220V. "120V-60Hz 10W" is on the box.

Exactly. I am looking for the voltage information all over the product description so I can click purchase button, I even contacted Amazon customer support, but I was told to call manufacture to find out. I have wasted several hours just to try to make sure it works in 220V, thanks for this thread. And I really hope Amazon can take action to list this useful information so people don't have to go through what I did.

I had the same problem here in the Emirates, so I got a step down transformer for 220V to 110V about 20 UK pounds, and it works fine.

The converter (transformer) that comes with the clipper automatically adjusts to any voltage at any country. Input power can be 120,220,230 or 240 but the output power will always be what the clipper needs. I hope this helps.

THIS DRILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY BUILT-IN CONVERSION TO 230V, SO, JUST THE PLUG/SOCKET ADAPTER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY STATIONED IN GERMANY BACK IN THE 60'S MANY OF US BOUGHT TRANSFORMERS SO WE COULD USE OUR U.S. APPLIANCES ON EUROPEAN 230V. THE TRANSFORMERS CAME IN DIFFERENT SIZES/CAPACITIES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ON AMAZON:

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.

The clipper I bought cannot be switched to 220 volts so you would need to get a power converter to step the power down to 110 volts. You can find those under Travel.

I was looking for the same answer, and was surprised to see both yes's and no's... ??? Apparently the gadget is set ONLY for 110 V. So people in countries which use 220+ V may like to avoid this product (unless you are ok with using a 220V to 110V DC transformer - which perhaps costs about 10$.

This Clipper is designedfor the US market, uses 110v to 120v and 60Hz. The 220 volt converter would be designed for 50Hz and would require different components inside the clipper to work efficiently.

Looked it up on the Internet and according to what I read about this shaver, it has automatic international conversion. Although it does not mention 220, I take it that the shaver will work on 110 or 220.

Here's the answer I received from Oral-B. My question specifically was what is the voltage in China, and simply buying an adapter may not be a solution either, unless it converts the voltage to the specific product purchased. Anyway, here's how they responded to me. " We do manufacture brushes that work at 220v, typically our brushes are compatible with the voltage level used in the country where they are purchased. A brush bought in Germany where the voltage level is in the 220 range would be made to work at 220v for an example. " So they are not universal, you must look at the product description else ask the seller directly. Here's the answer I received from Oral-B.

It is not double voltage,only american 110V. I come from the UK and have lived in Asia. for this reason I like double voltage gadgets. However, from my experience, the ones with a switch over do not work, as the voltage in the US is too low to give it any power. The better ones are with the in-build voltage - these work in all countries, you just need an adaptor to plug it in. i have CD/Ipod players like this (by In Home), all the phones have it and even Conair has a hot brush with in-build double voltage, which works fine. I have not yet found a hot brush with in-build world wide voltage, only with a useless switch over. Hope it helps.

Me too, I really need to know if it is 110v or 220v My house has no power to 220volts, just 110v You know where I could found this information? Thanks!

I sent the following email to customer_service@pandigital.net on Nov 26, 2010.No reply as of Dec 8th.Hi,Does the unit also work on 220V 50Hz power?Please explain the type of power source, this information is missing from the specifications.Thanks

Not this model, no. Wahl does make an international model but it is hard to find. However, I simply use a 300W voltage converter in the Philippines and it works well. It IS a great hair clipper set.

I do not have first-hand experience using this transformer in Europe, and it might depend upon the country in EU in which it will be utilized. However, I used this transformer in the US to step-down from 220 to 110/120, and it worked very well. I was in Italy and Greece in June of 2012, and used a travel type charger for electronics (low capacity; small size). You are doing the same (220 > 110), but at a higher capacity for the tool battery charger. If you research the maximum current draw potential for your battery charger, you may find that you can use a smaller transformer size (e.g.; 1000 or 2000 watts). Good luck ! David Chaplin.
