Hello, as I purchased it from Germany, it has 220 volts motor, so, no problems at all! I've been in the world of kirbies for many years as I already own two traditions (one is complete, the other for spares) a Heritage 1984 with all the tools,most of which were provided to me by Mr Tom Gasko, a complete G3, purchase by Mr Tom Gasko,with a new 220 volts motor( yea I was alittle bit crazy a few years ago!), then a g5 and 2 G Six and one Ultimate G...BUT I'm looking forward to using the Legend II because so many people have always said great hings about it! I'll let you know as it arries.
(All of my kirbies have been converted to take micron magic bags and not only my kirbies...also all my hoover convertibles and old vorwerks use them-)
Greetings!
