~~Works perfect, buy it.~~

You will need to check on the powder prior to buying. There is little to no information around that on Amazon.

Not sure if this will help but here's the Owners manual-
http://www.nesco.com/files/pdf/nah_adj_cu_manual_30001451_update_102011.pdf

"NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit on a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature."

This unit works on 120V electricity. Do you have 120V or 240/250V ?

Yes it will, see one slot is larger than other. That + unit = dried perfection.

While I do not have this exact model, I do have the Nesco FD-75PR which I purchased from Amazon (http://amzn.to/1a0gJ9P). It's a little more powerful than the one you are looking at, and I have had great success using it for homemade beef jerky and drying fruits and vegetables. The Nesco brand seems to be quite popular, so I think you are making a great choice.

that adapter is what you would need. I highly recommend a more square unit. Round tends to waste space.
nesco is great
