Does this vacuum have the proper voltage for the United States?

Yes - and we've had one for over six months and it is by far and away the best vacuum we've had.

Thanks for your info. Ordered one to use in HK and hope they do not change the provided variable transformer.UPDATE: The charger is 120-240V and the vac cleaner is really good. Should outperform similar products selling in HK.

No, I don't believe it is. It only has a standard plug common in American households and I believe is only 120 volts.

Yes it is :) When you buy from GreatVacs you can also buy a voltage convertor designed for Rainbow vacuums called the "Vac Volt". With this appliance it allows you to use it anywhere in the world. 120 volt, 220 volt and 240 volt. It also comes with plug ins for any outlet in the world. When you use your Rainbow vacuum with the Vac Volt you are also protected by the GreatVacs 5 year warranty on our Rainbow vacuums. If you have any other questions I suggest contacting us at service@greatvacs.com and we can answer any of your questions but yes it is possible. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

I believe that it will work fine as long as you do not exceed the voltage and Ampere draw of the plug (120 V, pretty standard, 15 Amp, around that of a vacuum cleaner). Wire it properly and ensure that you have the ground wire connected. You should be fine.

you assume correctly. The manual states: Power Source 120 VAC, 60 Hz which is standard for North America. This beast will not run on 220 but I am sure Samsung have a different edition if thats what you need.

Yes. I bought mine specifically so I could take it from the U.S. to the UK which uses the higher voltage. It worked great!

This vacuum must be plugged into a 110 volt outlet that is part of your house's regular electrical system. It will not run on 12 volt DC like your car telephone charger.

Negative... unit is rated for standard U.S. 120volt outlet and power transformer equipped with standard U.S. plug.

Be very careful buying off Amazon I bought this vaccum cleaner and it was sent to New Zealand and it was the wrong power voltage so I had to send it back. In the end this was a very expensive mistake, it cost $290.00 in postage and I didn't get that repaid. When I pointed out that it that didn't work on NZ power the answer was but it works in America and Canada, which is no help at all. Be very very careful!!

My vacuum is a household cleaner - Model # 085845 - 120V - 60HZ - 12 Amps. I hope this helps

No. These machines tend to have fixed voltage. You need to buy the version for your area, e.g. 110 or 220 voltage.

I use it in 110 volt. I think everything sold in the US is going to be 110.

Dont think so, the whole machine needs to be on the american voltage, sorry

Not the version I have. I'm in the U.S. and most of our devices/appliances run on 120v. Unless it's something heavy duty.

I`m also in a 220V country, I bought a 47u/400V capacity and a 300V resistance(this is to protect from surge I think), now it works normally. Remember to test output voltage before powering on vacuum....

I honestly do not know. If you used a voltage converter, like we do when we have to travel, it might work. My suggestion would be to contact Dyson directly. They may have a model that is made for 220 voltage.
