A:Answer It is important to keep in mind that each Vitamix blender is made specifically for the country where it will be used, and Vitamix meets compliance regulations required for a specific country. If you plan to use a Vitamix in a country outside of the United States or Canada, we encourage you to purchase a machine directly from an authorized dealer. To see if there is a dealer available in a specific country, please visit our website here: https://www.vitamix.com/vr/en_us/where-to-buy. When you buy the machine through the distributor, you enjoy the warranty given directly from that distributor.
If you purchase a machine in the US or Canada, and take it outside of these countries, you may experience variations in performance. Vitamix blenders are designed to be plugged directly into a properly grounded wall socket, and are not intended to be used with any type of transformer or converter. Vitamix cannot be held responsible for damage to or failure of the blender when being powered by a transformer or converter.
Please also note that if a Vitamix product is purchased in one country and then is taken to another country and requires repair, it must go back to the country of original purchase to be serviced. Vitamix does not cover shipping costs in such an instance, nor does it custom build 220volt machines for direct purchase.
If we do not have a distributor in the country of your interest, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please know our international market is growing and we hope you check back for future development
