is this compatible to use in Europe with their wattage

You need to get a universal plug adapter for Europe and it will be compatible.

The Helen of Troy curling iron specifies 120v only. Europe current is 240v. As a result, the device will only work in Europe with a voltage converter and a round prong plug. Curling irons that will work on both voltages are available. Converter plugs are still required to fit the wall plugin. Look at each device to see if it specifies Voltage 120v to 240v.

You can get a device, very inexpensive, to make it compatible...Try Amazon or Radio Shack. Sorry can't remember the name of the thing. Or, also, you can e-mail the Helen of Troy manufacturer, find out if it already is compatible, or if they can help you with the correct name of the device I mentioned.

I believe that you would need a power adapter; there was nothing in the manual about compatibility with European power.

The one I have only allows to plug into 110. Not sure about the European plug.

Yes! Our customer can used it in US however, for Europe i think you need a plug converter. It's work so you can try it and love it.

Absolutely, you can use it for anything as long as you do not exceed the rated wattage, it works great for me.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

I would not try to use it in Europe. Instead, I would buy a similar model that runs on the European voltage standard. Otherwise, you can ruin the device -- even with a voltage converter.

Yes you can but remember these are only adaptors and not voltage convertors. Make sure to check the voltage/amperage of the equipment against that of the country you are traveling to. Generally Europe is 220 volts and the US is 120 volts. Here's a handy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country.

yes it is, just that it has power rating of 220 Voltage, the power rating for Europe/Africa.

Hi , I do think is ok to use it in Europe , I just check the charger and it dos say that is ok from 100-240w . Europe is using 220w . So I do think is ok.

I do not know but I would doubt it as the EU uses a different current system, different plugs, etc. I am guessing that the company makes a model for use in the EU.

I would assume it would work for anything made for use in Europe. The plugs should be standard. I use mine for a lamp I bought in Spain and it works great.

US units are 110V, Europe runs on 220V. This will slow down the unit causing it to overheat. So, yes, it would work. But I would not recommend it.

Yes, it works well. You just need a plug adapter from flat (US) prongs to round (EU) ones. Do use the voltage switch or the drier will burn: voltage is 2x higher in EU.

No.. Mine arrived and only compatible with European outlets.Returned for refund

I believe so. It has a European power connector. Two thin protruding rounded plugs and it comes with an adapter that slides over it to allows me to use it in the United States.

Nope, the european voltage is not compatible -- only with a convertor. I am using it though for more than 2 years and works just fine!
