This would be an ideal solution for my kitchen, but the outlet for which I plan to use it is a two-prong outlet. Will this work without an adapter?

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

You should really replace your kitchen outlets with proper ground fault circuit interrupter units (GFCI).

I don't believe so. The top is 3 prong'ed and the bottom has a little plastic stick that plugs into the grounding hole to hold stead the entire unit.

Yes...however if your current outlet plate is oversized you may have problems. I had difficulty getting the outlet into the box in the wall because it is quite deep, so make sure you have plenty of depth for it. We really like this outlet...saves space on the counter by allowing 2 regular plugs plus 2 USB plugs. I really like that it turns off the inverter while a usb cable is not pugged in. Just remember where you put your adapter that you took off your USB plug, just in case you need it to travel or something. Hope this helps.

My switch only has only one outlet. You may be able to put a one-to-three outlet adapter in that one outlet. That would mean "switching off" the outlet would "switch off" everything plugged into the one-to-three adapter. Keep in mind that will be a lot of bulk hanging on your wall outlet. Good Luck.

It is a three prong fold away, you would need a two prong adapter to use it with a two prong wall plug.

There is no need for an adapter. The unit plugs directly into 110 volts ac.

Yes, no problem. You need to be sure the appliance switches automatically between 110/220, but as far as fitting in the outlet, you'll be fine.

I just plugged it in with no adapter, and it works fine. I'm sure you could use an adapter as well.

No adapter needed. If your rice cooker is 100v its two prong which fits in the 2nd plug that accepts only two prong 100v plugs. (The right plug in the picture)

Hmm...I am using this transformer in Japan for my American appliances, however most of our outlets in our Japanese apartment are just two prong. The few (recently purchased) Japanese appliances we have are two prong, the same size as older American ungrounded outlets and fit in this device without an adaptor. How old is the rice cooker? What does the plug look like?

It will work to adapt the plug to fit their outlets. But remember, this is not a power converter. So if you do not have dual voltage electronics, you'll have to purchase the power converter.

The plug it comes with is made for the U.S outlets, but I don't see why you couldn't use an adapter with it, you would have to purchase that separately.

A regular outlet in my kitchen works fine, so 110 works. I use a circuit where I am not running other things (dedicated), just to make sure I will not trip a breaker.

I'm was an electrician and you can safely plug a 2 prong cord into a 3 prong outlet. It will operate just fine. Hope this helps you.

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

I am not sure.... but be sure your house outlets where you plan to have them is properly grounded or it will not work. otherwise this unit is a life saver

I think yes. I plugged the machine into a standard kitchen outlet and no problems, my previous machine sometimes would blow a fuse, not this machine.

Yes, it will work perfectly fine--its made for a 220 V standard. You'll either have to buy an adapter for the socket (which is an easy fix) or you'll have to change the plug so you can use it without an adapter (the better option).
