Oddly enough my most popular post is Nutribullet Fail (And Smoothie Recipes), and I have found that many people reach my blog wanting to know how to use their Nutribullet in India and Australia. When we moved to India, I took my Nutribullet with me, because it happens to be amazing and my favorite smoothie maker. The first time I used it in India, I used only a plug adapter. This burnt the motor of the Nutribullet but I turned it off before it killed it. Then I learned that I also needed a voltage converter. Based on research and lots of people’s advice and experience, I have gathered the information you need to use your American Nutribullet in India and Australia, and therefore in many other countries where the voltage is also 240v. What you need to know Nutribullet: 120 Volt / 60 Hz / 600 Watt Motor (old version) 900 Watts (new version) USA: 120 Volt / 50 Hz / A & B plugs India: 240 Volt/ 60 Hz / C & D plugs Australia: 240 Volt / 50 Hz / I plug

There is no watt mentioned in the manual or appliance. What do I do? If your equipment’s wattage is not available, then you can still figure out the power rating (watts) you need by calculating it using the following formula. kitchenaid stand mixer herbergersNote: You will need your equipment’s amperage and voltage ratings to calculate the wattage: Volts(V) x Amp(A) = Watts(W). black and decker blender bl3000s manualFor example: 120V x 1.5A = 180W, therefore recommending a 270W-360W transformer.waring blender cole parmer To use your American Nutribullet outside of America, you need the correct plug adapter/voltage converter (to adapt different countries) and a step down transformer.black and decker cyclone blender ee code

What kind of voltage transformer should I get? It’s recommended that your voltage transformer’s wattage be 50-100% greater than your appliance’s wattage. pakning til kitchen aid blenderItems such as TVs, power tools, and microwave ovens require up to 3 times the wattage displayed. kitchenaid artisan ksb560 blender empire redThis requirement is due to the power surge that occurs when the appliance is first turned on.kitchenaid 5-speed blender with polycarbonate pitcher - metallic chrome For the Nutribullet with a 600w motor,  ideally you should use a transformer with at least 1.5 times the watts of your appliance; that would be 900 watts for the 600w Nutribullet.

Never less than the wattage of your appliance. Some people have said that 600watts has worked for them but I personally would want to use at least 900 watts. It will probably work with lower than that, but the lifespan of your Nutribullet would be cut significantly; it will probably work for a few months, and then die. What kind of plug adapter do I need? Even though India and Australia have the same voltage, they don’t use the same plug. To see all countries check this link. Where to find a plug adapter Plug adapters are easily obtainable and are cheap. 1. You can find them at any travel store (REI, Dick’s, etc), and big stores like Walmart, Sears, Best Buy, etc. India: I bought this 3-Pack Type D Plug Adapters and they worked perfectly.

Ebay India (a reader shared this link with me) 3. In India, you could try your local  cell phone/electronic repair shop. If you are in a city it is more likely you will find it. I failed to find the one I needed in the small town where we resided. If you can find it in India, it will probably cost a lot less than if you buy it in the USA. Now go make a delicious smoothie! Note: My Nutribullet is in India, and I am in the US, and I haven’t had the chance to use my Nutribullet in India with the correct transformer, so I don’t assure 100% that these options will work, but like I mentioned, I gathered the info from thorough research and real people’s advice.
