UDM for 220 volts?

[Daydreamerz]

I live in Thailand and the electricity here is 220 volts

I`m very interesting in UDM but not sure if i can use it here.

Or I have use a voltage converter?

The current UDM is available in the US version which is 110 volts so you would need a transformer.

That`s not good news. Wish there was a 220v version also available for non US folks...

How long we need to wait for the 220 V to be realeased?

I`ve read in the UDM thread that you already finished the motor etc, and only need to reduce the vibration and put a longer cord, when do you think these things will be accomplished?

according to david "Release date is on or about June 1, 2008. Pictures will be coming soon, as will demos at clinics in April."



But to be honest I am tired of announcements about the 220V model.



if can`t wait buy meguiars G220 (it is 220v) but it is a little expensive or buy a pc g110 udm and a transformer. In my country (Greece) a transformer rated at 1KVA cost 46 euro.

[Domas]

Honestly, I`m also tired waiting for 220V version...



Yes, the Meg`s G220 is to expensive to me too, and buying a transformer seems a little unreasonable and inconvenient enough...



Any predictions of the UDM`s 220V price? (I hope it will not be more expensive than 110V version...)

[deathlok]

the two main reasons I do not buy right now a g220 or a udm with a transformer are:

1) I have a rotary (makita clone)

2) I also want to see udm 220V price. (hope to be good enough)

[Domas]

I also have a rotary, but don`t have balls to use it yet

UDM would be safe alternative, too bad we have to wait so long for it`s release...

Bumping up this thread.



It has been over a year now since the last post. Any news regarding this. I will be in the US next week, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity of being there. I`ve been looking for the 220V of either PC or UDM for quite some time now.



Any help and or update would be greatly appreciated.

I think the 220V UDM project died. Buy a Meguiars G220 instead.

Died? Tell me it isn`t so. :hairpull



It was posted on the other thread that the whole plan was only put on hold.

[Domas]

I don`t know if it really died, but it seems so. Approx. two years ago I was interested in UDM 220V, I waited long, but no news about it, so I just bought a 110V version and a 1000W voltage converter, so I can use it in Europe. I now have it for almost a year and still no news about 220V version yet. So, If my memory serves me well - two years passed, and no news about 220V version, so I`d say the project is kinda dead...



I`d buy Meguiars G220 if I were you, it has a better handle, and is more powerful if I`m correct. Or even better, if you have the money - get a Flex 3401, a way better machine than UDM/PC/G220.
