Voltage

[Alistair]

Does anyone know anything about the Sinthetics heating element vs the higher voltage on this side of the pond?

Of course I am far too well behaved to make unseemly jokes about electrocution via one's nether regions in connection with this topic!

Hi All,

Best is to ask themselves if they have a 230 V unit too.
If 110 V only then the only safe way to use it, and I dare to say this cause this is more about electricity than about the SD doll and one can consider me as technically well educated, here is to buy a convertor for it that converts our 230 V to 110 V is needed.
This units are bit pricey, cause due its for heating I think one needs one with a higher capacity, maybe it needs 500 W (this is something you have to ask SD if the unit is 110 V only before ordering the convertor) then a max 1000 W one is available for e.g. 130.00 euro. See e.g. this 1000 W one with 2 USA power outlets.

We use a low voltage heating system to reduce the risk for injury. (No one wants unexpectedly shocking nether regions!) It takes about 1 – 2 hours to reach the full internal temperature and we have two heat options – high and low. The heat will increase depending on how long you keep it plugged in. You should never leave it plugged in more than 2 hours (1 hour on high then 1 on low). With the system being low voltage we felt that it not only met safety standards but also allowed for mobile heating. In the US at least one of our target markers is over-the-road truck drivers who may want to be able to plug their doll into the cigarette lighter. We chose a system to maximize safety, durability, reliability and functionality. Safety first! With sexy a close second

Thanks for your reply. Do you agree with MyTime's recommendation re voltage conversion?
