Hi can this kettle be used safely in New Zealand or will I need a power adapter? Thanks

If bought in the US, the kettle is designed for 110 volts mains supply. NZ has a 230 volt mains supply and this kettle would not work there (it would take a very, very long time to heat the water).

Hi Dmitriy, I don't think it will work we were living in Moscow, and none of our stuff works in America. It is a great kettle. Maybe if you buy from the uk it will work. Lorraine

No, you can not use it in USA and no adaptor included for US. In package there are several adaptors for different configuration of outlets in different counties. But the kettle made to use 220W, while in the USA we use 110W.Of couse you may buy an expensive power adaptor (to convert 220W into 110W) and still use it in the US. But it is not worse of it, I belive. Unfortunately they discontinue to make Braun kettles for US/Canada. I wish they will start to make this best kettle ever for us soon.

Somewhat safe - I still think it might be hot on your hand, but maybe less so than on a gas stove. I think the heat travels up the handle from the kettle's pot itself. The handle appears to be a combo of plastic and rubber - and tends to get hot enough all over that I usually use a hotpad or my sleeve to pour when the kettle boils.

The power supply voltage is 120 V for this boiler. It will not work in France where the household power voltage is 240 V. Not sure if using an adapter/voltage converter would be a good idea; it is a relatively high power (750 Watts) unit.

The shaver works with 120v - 240v automatic conversion so doubt there will be any problems, I'm from Australia and have no probs with the units power.

My kettle used to work with 110 v. You need a kettle would work with 220 v. I think they should give a right kettle to you based on Europe standard.

Nope - electric. The base plugs in to an outlet and the Kettle itself can be removed from the base unit once the water has been heated. Hope that helps!

We are in New Zealand which also uses a 240v system. All you need is a plug adaptor to run it over here.

Am unsure of the current requirements but buying an adapter would be a waste. Buy a 110 volt immersion heater of coffee pot instead and you will be money ahead with less hassle.

You can buy them on this site as well. Here is one you can buy: http://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Universal-Adapter-Australia-Zealand/dp/B005JK6J06/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418250373&sr=8-3&keywords=us+to+australia+adapter Just search for US to Australia/New Zealand adapter. I'm not sure if the pump is dual voltage. If the pump is only 110v-120v you'll need a transformer since I believe it's 240v in Australia.

Hello Ann! Thank you for your interest in our BioGS 2.0 air purifier. This air purifier is made for the US and Canadian market, so it is not suitable for 220V outlets. If you purchased within the US or Canada and wish to take the air purifier to New Zealand, you will need to purchase a transformer. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Have a wonderful day! Regards, Olivia Raya Rabbit Air Team

Hello! I'm sorry- this version will not work in New Zealand due to the voltage. However- check the manufacturer's site or contact them directly aveninc.com, they may have a suitable version.

I wouldn't think so. Have always used on gas flame myself. I think the design of the base of the kettle is indicative of that - use on gas. But, having said that, I haven't tried it. In that scenario I think I'd use an electric plug in the wall unit as is popular in the UK & Ireland and efficient from my experience.

Hello - my specimen of this converter was out of order - seller returned me back a money - so I have no experience with this one - at this moment I've bought another converter (but not typical electronic, It's bigger and more expensive electronic converter which contains heavy transformer). If You have coffe maker (about 2000W) You can try Conair TS2000 but maybe buying expensiver one will be better idea. Regards from Poland to Argentina :-)

Yes, we used it in Australia and all over Europe. Yes, you do need an adapter plug. The prongs of the outlets are quite different. We found you often have to hold the curling iron upright ( in a vertical position) and hold the "on" button for a few seconds, but it does work. I have purchased two of these for other travel friends.
