Can this trimmer, with the help of a converter, be used in Europe?

I tried it in South Africa and burned it up. I didn't use a voltage converter, just a plug converter.

It's a basic 120 Volt unit. If you have a converter from 220v to 110v you should be fine. The trimmer is excellent. Nice and light.

I was in Europe, using a converter I bought from Brookstone, and fried my last Wahl trimmer. It was an expensive mistake. I recommend using a local Barber.

I guess the problem is not just the voltage conversion (from 220v to 110v), it is the frequency that cannot be converted from 50Hz in Europe to 60Hz (what the trimmer needs).

Yes, this product can be used in Europe. You will need an international outlet converter to charge it, however.Thanks a lot,The Big Greenie Team

Yes, I used it in Spain and France. You do have to buy a European converter plug because the US plug will not fit. There's no switch, it automatically uses the 220v European power.

Here is some info about a converter that you may want to check in to. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080121211719AAVfrRcI'm not sure that the above like I gave you will open. If you just "google" your question, such as "do I need a converter adaptor for my hairsetter in Europe", you will get a lot of information...much more than I could give you in my own words. Good luck!

I guess anything can be used anywhere if you have the right equipment. The unit itself is a 110v, however, I would assume with a converter you could use it with a 220v also. Hope that helps, but in reality I have no idea

Yes. You will need an adapter, but no need for a converter. I just used it throughout Europe (Austria, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands).

I'm actually going to Europe next week and planning on bringing my flat iron, but I'm pretty sure it will work if you get a converter

I don't think it would work without a converter. I have 110V electricity and it works well here.

Since I have not traveled abroad in a while, I cannot truely answer your question. I will assume that if you buy a converter as my daughters have, it might work. I will tell you that mine is still working and working well and I have no problem with the item, but I am using it in the US. I hope this helps.

This particular model is for standard 60 Hz / 120 Volt outlets only. You would need a converter to make it work in Europe.

I don't see why not. I used it when i went on a trip to france, but you'll need a convertor.

Yes. C-type should work in Germany, Italy, and Austria. Note, however, it is an adapter and NOT a converter. It does not change the voltage from 220 to 110. Do not use it for a hairdryer or curling iron or any other 110 only device.

I think you would need a converter for the plug, just like the ones used for most U.S. appliances in Europe.

I just checked on my dremel tool and it only says 120V 60Hz. So I would say it will not work in Europe.

You can if you purchase or own a converter. The plug itself is standard American. I'm confident that the power specifics fall within the accceptable European range.

Yes, it can be used in Europe provided you have the appropriate adapter for the outlet plug. Not sure about other places.

You could, but remember it is only good for small devises i. e. electric razor, tooth brush. Do not try to plug in a curling iron or hair dryer. Hair dryers are 800 watts this transformer is capable of only 150 watts. When going to Europe you cannot use any heating device on their system from the USA. Cell phone and computer chargers will operate in Europe using just an adapter.
