Check the voltage on your ac adapter's transformer. If it says like 110-240 volts (or something similar) then you are all set. Just think of your transformer as converting the voltage automatically. The only other thing you need to check for is if you need a plug adapter so that it'd fit in the electrical outlet in England. It'd just be a simple adapter.

I would imagine, never been to England, but IF you have Wi-Fi, almost certain that you do, then you can use this computer

I have one and it is not. You would need to use a converter to use in Europe.

If you use it in U.S., you do not need a converter actually. Just do not use the biggest mode. Dry or set mode is enough, at least for me.

I don't believe the converter would be sufficient. I got a transformer converter- which is rated for "electronics".It's a bit heavy, but it is a reliable device. I also found it on Amazon, so search for converter/adapter for electronics.

The E2000 router should use a power adapter that is suited for the European electrical standard which 220V to avoid electrical overload. This usually happens when the router will be used in Europe.

Yea, UK plugs work. The entire thing goes into a US outlet, so you'll need an adapter for wherever you're going. I bought a cheap travel set + this, and I was set for my entire trip.

I just used this in London with a Windows phone and tablet and an iPhone and iPad. Nothing else is needed. I am told these days that voltage conversion is handled by the devices.

ashlee, i only used the outlet in mexico. the hotel had standard plugs no need d for converting. i would also buy a converter when you purchase the outlet. i loved it because i could plug in all my devices.... it served me well. i will be using it again next month on a cruise ship!!!!

I head that there is an adapter for European conversion but know nothing about it. Good luck!

No, you don't need a converter since this is a converter. You should check that this works wherever it is you're going. I bought this for a trip to Israel.

We tried to use it in England. It failed miserably. Had to by an adapter form a local store in London. Used that one for the rest of our trip in Scotland and Ireland.

Since I have not traveled abroad in a while, I cannot truely answer your question. I will assume that if you buy a converter as my daughters have, it might work. I will tell you that mine is still working and working well and I have no problem with the item, but I am using it in the US. I hope this helps.

No, this is all you need except the appropriate adapter for whatever country you are in that has 220 voltage and want to change it to 110 to keep from frying your electronics.

I'd take it to a local travel store and see what they recommend. Should just be a standard converter. We recently bought a universal converter for our upcoming trip to Europe! Have a nice time!

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

Linda, Personally I would not recommend this power strip for use in England. This power strip is rated for typical US input voltages of approximately 125 volts with a maximum amperage capacity of 15amps. It is not rated for 220-240 volt use. Additionally this outlet strip contains LEDs which may not survive if fed with 220 volts. From one adapter's description page: "...To use this plug adapter, your electric device must be 220-240V or 100v-240v..." Any devices or power blocks you plug in over there need to be capable of handling up to 220 volts. Stay safe and enjoy yourself !
