chargemaster 1500?

[oops]

thinking of buying one of these but what is the difference between the 110v and the 220v? Is one better than the other?

[Requiem]

well for one the 110v takes less electricity and costs less... I'm just gonna say go with that one.

110V is better for you

1 less conversion is required...

AFAIK, the 220v version is for the Euro customers. Its not like its a tool that needs 220v.

Or for shops that run on 220V for HD machines.

The 110 V model is for your basic home use!

110 plugs into 110 outlet 220 plugs in to 220 outlet. 110 would be more versatile. they will both use the same amount of energy regardless of voltage fed to the machine. if it where a high amperage draw device the 220 would probably use less energy because it would be working less to draw needed energy.

220 volt is usually 60 hertz in the US and 50 hertz in EU, so a precision might not work well if it is designed for the other

The 220v version more than likely comes with a auto switching power supply just like modern laptops. You travel to another country and you just plug it in...not transformer needed. This would let RCBS make one unit and just include a different power supply with the 220V version.

There would be no reason to buy the 220v version unless it was to be used outside the USA.
