No one told me this was going to be 110V 60Hz 105W! How do I use this in Australia where we have 220-240V and 50Hz without frying it or my hair???

Usually there are transformers to step up or down to the voltage you need, but these are recommended for big appliances like fridges and washing machines. Not sure if they are safe to use with small appliances like a curling wand.

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.

How I understand it, there are different units for different markets. The US/Canada sold units are 110v, while European and most other countries are rated 220/240v. I've purchased and imported from Amazon.com and saved around $400 by doing so. Now I've purchased a 1000W 220 -> 110v power transformer for $100 to use the receiver here in Australia and I'm still well ahead on the deal :o)

I'm in NZ too, just buy a simple voltage adaptor from Jaycar, I have several and they're available for different wattages so you can choose the right one for the mixer. But you'll not be able to sell this if you ever want to, regulations in NZ prevent sale of items that are not 240V. I had Trade Me remove a Bose radio 110V I was selling.

It has a block transformer plug.The transformer label on mine says it takes 100-240 volts at 50/60 Hz, so it sounds universal. Mine has an American two prong plug, so one would need the Australian three prong adapter plug. I suppose this is sold elsewhere besides the US so you might find one with the appropriate regional plug. the cord output is 9 volts and plugs into a jack on the back of the unit There is an electron push button switch on the back that turns it on (i.e., if it ever loses power, you have to turn it back on). Hope this is helpful.

yes 110V only....if you hook it to 220 you will fry it.....better use a converter.....good luck, you will enjoy it....I have.....

No, the input is 110V 60hz but the power is 1800W (not 2300W). I have owned 2 hair dryers prior to this one that were 2300W and this one dries my hair much faster that the higher wattage ones. I assume this is because of the infrared feature. I am completely satisfied with this dryer and I think it is much easier on my hair. My hands are very arthritic and not very agile and I have no problem managing this dryer.

No!! The previous reply from 2013 is incorrect. I made my purchase based on this and have just received the package. The charger states it is rated 120v and 50/60Hz 240W. Volts and Watts are VERY different!!! You will still need a step down transformer for AU usage!!!

That's right. I live in Australia where the input voltage is 220. I think the same is 110 or 120 in USA. Would this system work in Australia? Does this system has in built adaptor?

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.

Hi its 120v with 1550 wattage, but watch what country you're going to use it in, i.e. Australia, can only use it if you also purchase or have a transmitter to alter electrical current from the 120v to Australias' 240v

The operating voltage is 120VAC, 60Hz for North America region. Australia is using 230VAC at 50Hz power system. This will not work in Australia region.

It runs on 110, so if Australia is 220, a converter and perhaps an adapter would work there.

My daughter uses hers in Australia and has a converter that must lower it to the 110v. It works fine for her so ask at an electrical store what they would use to convert it for you.

It is 120V 60Hz 86W. There is no way to change the Voltage or Frequency as you might do with more sophisticated electronics to accommodate other countries.

It is a 110 volt unit. For Australian power I have used a transformer to drop to 110 from 240 and a power plug adapter to cater for the difference plug pin configuration.

This flat iron hair wand works on 110v, 60Hz. Hope this helps. If you are planning an overseas trip this, and other electrical products like hair dryers, will require adapters which you can buy at Best Buy and other stores, probably amazon.com also.
