Should Amazon remove or tag "user error" reviews? Is the Ac adapter fors on 110v and 220v at same time?

I agree with Rick V.'s post. Many of the one star reviews appear to be written by users ranting about technical issues they know little about. Their "see my other reviews" often indicates they knew very little about the other products they reviewed. If a negitive review can't be supported by facts, and readers do not find the review helpful, Amazon should not use it. Some of the reviews are rather humorous excuses for not knowing what they ordered or how to use it.

my adapter is labeled INPUT 100-240v, 50/60 Hz, which is OK for 220v power.

The shipped AC adapter is 2-pin and working from 110-220V AC with US plug , buy a power adapter will do , should be OK.

The Acomdata Samba is an excellent product. However, a simple and safe solution would be to PURSCHASE A POWER VOLTAGE CONVERTER for it to run on 110-120v not 220-240v. NOTE: When my desktop computer froze and was deemed unworkable, I took out the "bad" hard drive placed it into Acomdata Samba and retrieved all my stored files/information! Then I placed a new hard drive in the dead computer and reinstalled the operating programs. No need to pay a ton of $$$$ to a geek to save files on the "dead" hard drive, as the Acomdata Samba did it for me. But be safe and buy the power voltage converter.

So I hate it when I do not know an answer. I went to the specs on the Amazon site and there (they were not). Now I needed to know so I turned off my computer, crawled under my desk and pulled the power adapter, and read the spec. Yes 110/240, 50 - 60. Now we all know. Enjoy.

Sorry-"Yes" "No" buttons were not marked on response buttons so "yes" was tabbed by mistake. This is wired for 110 so doubt it will work properly on 220.

Arun: I'm not really sure. It is rated at 110V, 60 Hz at 50 watts. The power supply is internal for both the main unit and the sub woofer. So, it is not one of those computer power supplies that auto detects 110 or 220. I guess you'll need a power adapter. RK

Equipment uses standard 110 house current. Using 220 volts would fry the delicate electronics.

If you order the unit from Amazon.com, then the charger will only operate on 110VAC. If you order it from Amazon.co.uk, then the charger will only work on 220VAC. I think this is really silly, and is obviously a marketing issue rather than a technical one. The power supply should be a universal one, operating on 110-240V, like the ones used on most electrical equipment these days.

No, the unit purchased from Amazon is designed to work only on 110-120 volts ac.

The adapter only allows you to use a European type or Asian type of outlet with a US type plug. It will not convert voltage to 110 used in the US for small appliances and in typical households. Some European and Asian hotels have 110V available in their rooms. However, many do not. You should purchase both and adapter set and a converter to be on the safe side. The converter steps voltage down from the 230V typically used in Europe to 110V which are required for most US small appliances. Both the converter and the adapter units are available through Amazon at a reasonable and with this combination you can charge your cell phone and camera and use your curling iron.

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

The adapter works for both voltages. The back of the BIG AC Adapter says: Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 1.0A Output: 12V 3.5A. So, yes, it will work 220-230v. And if you are not in the USA, then get a plug adapter to convert the USA style electric plug into one that fits your country.

i have the same problem... i think the adapter is damage. hope amazon don't refuse to take back or exchange.

The adapter worked beautifully for me. The converter is not needed if you look very carefully at the plugs on your appliances. Reading the fine print most new items will convert automatically and all that is needed is the adapter. You will see it will work on either the 110 or 230-240 volt and all that is needed is the adapter. In fat one hotel had the converter/adapter built in and I just plugged it into the wall like at home.

No, it's for use in the USA and Canada which means it is acceptable for 110V. Good luck.
