Japan has 2 prongs wall outlet. I have a medical machine with three prongs. Do you have an adapter that lets me plug my three prongs into Japan's 2?

We think you need 2 Prong to 3 Prong Grounding Adapter, Amazon ASIN # B003XDF2H2 "Grounding Adaptor - 2 Pack"

Yes, you can plug a 3 prong US plug into the back side of the adapter. The top of the adapter can only take a 2 prong US plug. This adapter works great!! Used it in several places in South Africa and had no problems at all.

There is an adapter piece for France. However, I have to admit that when I tried it, it did not fit snugly enough into the sockets. Unless I pressed a table against it, it did not engage.

It takes a USA 3 prong plug no problem, although the 3rd ground pin isn't carried through. It has worked for me in Europe with no issues, and appears it will work well in other parts of the world fine too.

It looks like they have A B and E outlets there. If you are in the US we use A and B here so it wouldn't hurt to have an E adapter in case that area of Tahiti uses E.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

Hi, Lu-It has US, European, and English/Irish inputs and outputs - which also cover Japan, Thailand, Australia, and other places - so it's pretty universal. Note that it does not change voltages. It is an adapter, not a power converter. I don't particularly like how it fits into some inset wall outlets in Europe - the device has some weight to it, so it can tend to pull out of the wall. There are small adapters for Europe that work much better.

You will need to put an adapter on the end that goes into the wall.( South American adapter plug) What is great is that you can plug in 3 things into this bar and need only the one adapter, instead of three. I take this everwhere to charge my camera battery, Ipad, Ipod, and run my CPAP all at the same time. It has a USB port too.

It has an American style two-prong plug. It is made for 220-240 volts, 50-60 Hz, not 110 as in the USA. It comes with an adapter for the plug. The adapter has two round prongs. I live in South Korea and the two round prongs are what we use with 220v 50mhz here. You can use the plug without the adapter in Japan.

Mate; not sure what a UK socket is(should have paid more attention that one time in London...), so I'll go about it by saying the plug has 3 prongs: two flat blades and a third round one. The coffee machine works well and quickly.

If your country specific adapter plug will not accept the thee-prong plug from the power strip you will need to buy a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter in order to plug the strip into your Uk adapter plug.

Item has a 3 prong plug on it, but needs a dedicated line outlet ... great unit...!!

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

For Japan, my understanding is that you may not need an adapter. See http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2225.htmlFor China, my understanding is that they use 3 different outlets. See http://traveltips.usatoday.com/electric-adapter-tips-advice-travel-china-24527.html

My Doxie came with multiple (four?) "prongs" for the power adapter -you just slide in the one you need. I wish I could tell you for which countries they work - but I returned the Doxie so I can't double check - sorry about that. I hope this helps.

Yes it does. Using an adapter from two prong to three defeats the benefits of this plug since it will move it out from the wall too much. Maybe you know someone that could install a newer outlet for you. It's relatively easy to change but a rudimentary knowledge of electricity is required and power to the plug MUST be turned off.

The part in the picture with two prongs that go into the wall just pulls out. You can buy different plugs for different countries. I use a power cord instead.
