Does this work with the current in Germany? I want to give it as a gift to someone over there, or how can I get one with their current?

According to my sister, who lives in Germany, you would have to have an adapter with a voltage converter. An adapter for the plug only wouldn't work. They could plug it in, but it would burn out. You might want to talk with someone at Radio Shack.

It will not work in Germany as it's 110V and you use 220V. You will need a transformer to make it work. Also, the unit is Made in China, not Germany. The company making is German, however.

There was an adaptor in the box for other countries, but I threw it away. Sorry that I cannot be of more help on this question.

Hello Elise, It comes with USA plug, and an extra Euro plug for use in Germany, France, etc.. except for the U.K.which we can ship upon request, separately. Thank you

It will not work in europe unless you have a conveter. You can buy them at radio shack. If you are renting a car and have a car charger you can actually take your usb cable and plug it into the side of the charger and put the battery in it and it will charge. i have done this. This is a awesome product

This was a gift for a little girl that used to live in US and now resides in England-1) I have not heard that it doesn't work there.2) I assume if the A/C power plug is not compatible with England outlets it stillworks on the batteries, they are either "C" or "D".

Yes it will work in Germany which has 220 V standard. You might however need an adaptor for the socket.

The product we are offering is designed for US voltage. You could probably purchase an adapter that would convert the voltage to be compatible in Germany

yep, the one we bought works fine in the US. I saw them in Germany, so they must make both kinds.

You need a prong converter, for the plug end, but otherwise yes it works. I have used it in Germany and all over Africa

i live in germany (temp) and was wondering can i buy this, use it germany and then use it in the states when i go back next year?

Although it was for my son, I know that it uses 110v 60Hz current which is the US standard. You may be able to buy a converter that will work, but I don't know that for a fact.

This machine will NOT work on European current, but if you purchase direct from the company (www.marpac.com), there are Dohm-DS models available for EU, UK, and AU electrical currents.

if they have 220 to 230 electricity it works real great. i am in germany right now and were used to those cheap once they had in the 1990's, this is much better, all your american appliances work on it (i have an electronic pressure cooker that requires 1800 watts and it works just great). what is also nice, it has a button switch that disconnects you from the current, the older once run continually until you unplugged them, now you just throw a switch. if you have a 220 appliance, it will work for you in reverse when you take it with you to the states. problem: i dont think amazon can ship it to an apo address (i just assume thats what you have), but if you are able to purchase it,and handcarry it on the plan with you or have someone bring it with them, you should have no problem at the airport. i left it in the box, taped it well and paid for a second piece of luggage at the airport. -for mailing make sure to check the apo requierements-amazon has a help section that states hat can be shipped. hope this helped. margarete

TimI'm wondering the same thing. If you're not already in Europe please tell me what you found out. Does this HandHeld also CONVERT the voltage?Thanks!

There are certainly versions that are being sold that are international units. Unfortunately the reviews follow the product and not specific to any particular reseller. I've ordered a number of these in the last couple of months and so far I received 3 that appeared to be German that came with a European plug adapter. The device appears to work fine and I got a plug that worked but Its certainly something I'll inquire about in the future when ordering.
