Will it work even with 100v (Japan) or should I expect some problems?

I am sorry, i am unable to help. I gave these as gifts. JAPAN should have adapters that can be used.

I do not know the answer but I would suspect that it would cause a problem unless you had some sort of converter.

The model I had had a voltage selector (200-220v for Asia or 100-120 for Japan & U.S.) and I used it in Hong Kong with an adapter (different plugs). No problems. Used it a lot when traveling. Hope this helps.

I used a travel adapter that covers all countries. Check out your local hardware shop. Asked for one that covers Japan or worldwide. They will know what to get you.

Yes. It will work for sure. user manual says voltage range from 110 to 240. I bought it only after confirming this. I plan to use it in India on 240 V

I am not familiar with the plug shape in Japan but voltage is not an issue so if the connecting plug fits the adapter it will be OK.

I don't know if it will work at 250V b/c I only used it in Korea which is 220V. I had no problems with using an adaptor (over the 3 prong plug-in) for the two hole plug-in which they use in Korea. I turned the setting on the blow dryer for the higher voltage also. I recommend this blow dryer if you are going to Asia. It's great and it dries really well, even faster than my larger handheld.

This one will likely not work at all. I would suggest you get a voltage transformer rated at 900W or more.

David, if your read the information on the web site about this unit, it tells you "exactly" what the unit can and will handle.I used mine in the U.K. The voltage will not be a problem, but the wattage may be, and as I don't have that information as I discarded mine( the information pamphlet) when we came back here.Read yours, or the sales info, and make your decision from there, as the description they give is excellent.

Yes, it will work for 100-240 v systems. Not designed for it. You need the American-to-foreign adapter plug. I use this adapter when I go to Germany and I have no problems.

I bought one on Amazon from seller Photoland NY and I received a charger with a Euro type plug, the charger is rated for 100-240 Volts AC so it's just a matter of the plug not fitting the wall socket, if you are buying from a Japanese seller you will not have this problem, I would suggest you ask what type charger it comes with if dealing with non Japanese sellers.

Yes, if you are charging DC devices like laptops, cellphones, etc. - probably not if you want to use a hair dryer or clock (Japan has 50 cycle power at only 100 volts so many US clock would not work there and heat producing devices would not be at 100% power). The adapter has two non polarized US type plus that will fit a Japanese socket ok and it fits a U.S. polarized or 3prong plug just fine.

İ am using same way with 220v and no problem. By the way this is a very good product versus price.

Chris, as far as I know it can be used in Japan where I am living. The voltage here is 110 so I don't know if it can be used in countries with 220V. You will have to check with the manufacture at they web site. Sorry I couldn't help. Arthur

Not a converter. Look at the customer images. Japanese outlets use equal-sized prongs, so you'll need an adapter for that, most likely.

i think you might need converter while you use in China. China is 220v, but USA and Japan are all 110v

I believe this should work for you. If you are using 120 volts, I don't see a problem.
