What sort of adapter is to be used to step down from 120V to 100V? I have a Japanese rice cooker 50/60 hz 100V. the plug doesn't fit

The 100V output plug is meant to fit both flat and round pins. The round prongs will fit on the outside of those two metal strips. Flat prongs will fit on the inside of the two metal strips (close together). To get the flat prongs to fit, they may need to be pushed together just a hair.

The VCT-VT-1000J will accept American 2 prong plugs or foreign round 2 prong plugs. If you have something different then you can search Amazon for the correct adapter.

No adapter needed. If your rice cooker is 100v its two prong which fits in the 2nd plug that accepts only two prong 100v plugs. (The right plug in the picture)

I use my Japanese rice cooker on the step down voltage transformer without any problems. Most Japanese appliances don't have the ground prong (round prong) but you can just plug it in without the third prong. It will work fine

Just use this... The rice cooker I bought in Japan was working here, but not working correctly. This solved the problem. I've had it for 2 months and it gets used almost daily and its been working great so far.

Hmm...I am using this transformer in Japan for my American appliances, however most of our outlets in our Japanese apartment are just two prong. The few (recently purchased) Japanese appliances we have are two prong, the same size as older American ungrounded outlets and fit in this device without an adaptor. How old is the rice cooker? What does the plug look like?

Yes, all rice pressure cooker and electric rice cooker uses 110V - 120V which is the regular household outlet.Thank you for your interest.

You need to buy a travel adaptor that inputs 220 volt and steps it down 110 volt ,the plugs are different ie round vs flat on the 110volt ,otherwise you will fry the adaptor !

I've lived in Japan for 6 years--you don't need an adapter to use US devices in Japan, unless maybe you have something that is grounded (3 prongs) as some outlets in Japan aren't grounded. Their voltage is slightly less than ours, 110V as compared to 120V in the United States, so no worries there, either.

The power voltages for the wall outlets are different according to wikipedia (120V in United States, 220V in Thailand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country), so if you purchase this, make sure you get an adapter that would work with your voltage.Thailand 220V, USA 120V...something like this maybe: Seven Star F200 200 Watt 220/240V to 110/120V AC Step Down Travel Convertergood luck!

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

You'll need a plugin converter as it uses the standard US type plug. I don't see why you couldn't use this in Japan but do realize that you won't get the power out of the tool that you would in the US so it will tend to bog a little more than it would here. Just be sure to use really sharp cutters and slow your cut rate down a little, should be a problem. Please note: My experience with using 120V US equipment in the 100V Japan electrical grid are based solely on my use of computer equipment. Do be warned.

It is doubtful that the plug will be adaptable to the 120 outlet, it will not work. You can buy one at best buy or radio shack that will solve your problem

The adapter that came with my unit is marked as Input: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz. I presume that means it would work.

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.

The plug sticker says "120 Vac, 60Hz, 6W" It has the standard 110 plug, I'm unsure if an adapter would work with this appliance. You may need to contact company for further info. The customer service # 800 794-5866

Good question, this particular unit is made for 110v -120v, but you will need to use a step down

This Zoj rice cooker is 120v, and here is the Zoj web sight so you can see for yourself, http://www.zojirushi.com/products/nswac . Hope you have a lovely day, glad to be of help. peter

The adapter is rated 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, so you should just need a plug adapter.

My manual shows a picture of both a 120V type plug and a 220V-240V type plug. It also references both plug types in the section the describes how to plug the cord into the outlet. Given this information, I assume the manufacturer would ship a unit that is compatible with the power requirements of your location. It's an awesome rice cooker--the best I've owned. The brown rice setting makes perfect rice every time.

The adapter lets it run on 110 (really 120) as well as 220 (240). It will limit the amp output on the lower voltage. If your lucky enough to already have 240 pre-wired, make sure your breaker & wiring will handle 30A. I stick welded at 120V/65A and wasn't happy with the results - partly due to crappy import store 6011. But at 240 I got fantastic beads with 6010,6013, and stainless in 3/8" thk pipe. It was a beautiful thing.

This only has the 120 plug and no adapter provided so don't know re adapter vs. voltage converter
