Minwah:

Is the European power system 240volts?  I presume so, but I am just curious as I'm thinking of getting one of these...just wondering what type of plug adaptor I would need.

Where in Europe? Just about everyon runs at 240v/50hz (with the few 3rd world exceptions).

Where are you Minwah?

If you are in UK, you just have to find a plug convertor.  (France or German one to UK ).

If you are in U.S , i don't think it is enough , i suppose you would need a transformator.

I can gaurantee you'll need a transformer. I use them all the time for 110 crap I didnt bother buying here when I moved. You can get a 300w 110-240 block for about $40-60.

Do they not make a US version at 110 Volts?  I would go out of my way to get a 110 controller because transformers and adaptors are a pain to deal with....   First, Transformers will not, repeat WILL NOT, convert the hertz from 50 to 60 or vice versa.  This is "hard" on electronic equipment.... (trust me, I've messed up many American Microwaves here in Europe)  Plus they suck power like crazy even if the device attached to them is turned off. The transformer is still going to pull electricity.....  so unplug it if you arent using it.
