yeah right?
ic, cause i thought we have 120, and on the spec sheet it said 100, so it wouldn't have enough power to run it, here is the page if anyone care to take a look at it for me. http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/s...ex.html?p=spec
"AC100V 50/60Hz" it dosn't say the usual 100-120V
thanks all.

hrm, I'm assuming it just uses a wall adapter not an internal adapter correct?

100 or 120 at 60Hz, everything is approximate anyways, its just an RMS value, it should work no hitch. if it was 40+ voltage diff then it would make a big difference. most of the stuff we plug into the walls here are rated 100 - 110v anyways.

W/o a convertor you may fry whatever you're using. I fried my convertor for the rice cooker & hot water maker & both fried shortly after.
