I'd say be safe and use a travel adapter DVDBunny - you aren't the most, well "Adept" I would put it from your posts!

No, no ... I'd definitely go for the swap over. Can't possibly go wrongI'd say be safe and use a travel adapter DVDBunny - you aren't the most, well "Adept" I would put it from your posts!

Yes one that looks like this; http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/59624...Universal_travel_adapter_w_safety_shutter.jpg
If you can link the juicer we can check it for you.

There should be a label on it somewhere that specifies the input voltage. I'd double check. Last thing you need is the motor burning out (and potentially starting a fire).
Otherwise, yes, travel adapter. I use an international adapter set that works both ways (UK to US and US to UK).

I'd be pretty surprised if it works on both 110V and 230V. The kind of stuff that does is usually things like phone chargers, which necessarily incorporate a transformer and work on very low current. Surely including the circuitry for two input voltages would raise the cost of the juicer a lot, particularly as it probably uses quite a lot of current?

Many thanks for the reply.
Please, please link us to the juicer. Or book.

Yep usually things which are high power just use motors that are mains powered, so I have a feeling it's gonna go at double speed!
It should say in the manual however...
Do you know if I can use that travel adaptor for also powering a PS3 from the USA?
Many thanks
Do you ever stop? You're on the bloody internet, why don't you look it up for yourself?
Soldato
Yes, you can plug your PS3 straight into that with no problems as the PSU inside is universal and can take 110v-240v 50-60Hz.
Many thanks for your quick reply
So basically any electronics product I ever buy in the USA where it's power cable is rated at 110v-240v I can use with that adapter you posted?
Is that the one you own, how much is it, where did you get it from?
Many thanks
Soldato
Huh? A cable is a cable.
If you mean 'where its power supply has an input voltage of 110-240v', then yes.
Soldato
No, it depends entirely on the product and what power supply it uses, from my own experience PS3s and PSP adapters both have the ability to take 110v - 240v, so all they need is a plug adapter or the correct cable. For the PS3 you can either get a universal adapter or you can just use a normal kettle lead.
I don't have one of these adapters, I have had them in the past and you can get them from ebay pretty cheap.
This should now be the standard reply for anything dvdbunny posts i feel
Soldato
seriously, what has DVDbunny done to deserve a banning?
His threads are funny though
