Is this suitable for european voltage?

It's rated at 120 volts. I'm not an authority on electronics, but I wouldn't count on a converter providing satisfactory results./John.

Absolutely not. Buy only from a European Amazon site to be sure of 220v and the right prongs. Don't use a converter. It will fry your appliance.

Yes, however, you must purchase a converter. A friend just purchased a VitaMix on Amazon and had no problem once she got a converter and plug. Works fine!!

Yes, the power adapter has an input rating of 100-240V - 1.8A; 50-60Hz.So it's USABLE in Europe.

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!

I believe you'd need a converter, but I'm not that familiar with 220v. Is that what is used in Europe?

Yes it can. Voltage is ideal for Europe and it has European plug so you won't need an adapter. I've used it in Greece, Turkey, and Mozambique. Basically the only places it won't work are the Americas.

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.

Voltage should be OK. You will need an adaptor to covert US type plug to UK and EU type.

it would definitely work in mainland europe with its 220-240V 50-60Hz specification. afaik in uk you have a different type of a plug. so you will need an adaptor atleast.

Does it work for European power - 220/240 volts. The plug form factor is not important... I can get an adaptor.

this should work fine if you have a appropriate voltage converter and plug adapter. Many countries have different size plugs. You can find this all in one adapter cheep on Amazon

all depends on your voltage in Europe. Seems to me if it is 110 to 277 volts there should not be a problem. anything more than that and it probably will not work. best bet would be get ahold of Leviton.

It says on my unit that the voltage range is 100-240 v. So it will work in Europe. You might need an adapter, however, for European outlets.

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.

No, it is a 115. volt device, but check with Brentwood maybe the have a EU compatible unit, I am not aware of one. Jerry

It can be used either in Europe or the US. The one concern is the power supply. Voltage in the US is 115/120V, voltage in most parts of Europe are 200/220V. You can purchase adapters which can handle the different voltage supplies, so that's not a limiting factor.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Its rated 110v 60hz. US 220v could be stepped down, but it would be expensive for a converter powerful enough. Europe is 50hz, so even with a voltage step down adapter it probably wouldn't work unless it changes the frequency also. If it did run on 50hz you would get 5/6 power and I wouldn't recommend it.
