Q: QuestionIt is dual voltagem?

Asked 2 months ago by Solange.

• A:Answer Hello Solange, Yes, newer Roomba models, including the recent Roomba Plus 505 Combo, often use dual-voltage chargers (100-240V), making them globally compatible for voltage, but you'll still need the right physical plug/cord adapter for different countries like those in Europe (230V). Please also note that using a device outside the country it was purchased from will void its warranty.
