[thelist] International Electricity

To the best of my knowledge you shouldn't have any trouble if you get any EU
rated appliance working from 200-250Volts.  The appliance itself should be
able to regulate the DC voltage it needs from that.

"Amperage" is dependant on the how much power the appliance draws.  It has
little to do with transformers, except for the maximum current they, and the
rest of the circuit  can operate at.

If you must purchase from the US ?!? They should surely have "Rest of the
World" capable versions of the product.
