The plug is typical American style. The only option I would suggest is getting an adapter.

No, this appliance has the standard 2-prong plug, also if you are buying outside the US, be aware that this type of appliance will not stand up to the European standard, and therefore you electrical system will blow this baby to hell as I can verify 'cause this is what happened to me.

Mine just has a standard plug for US. (whatever that is) I imagine if you purchase a conversion kit your could use it other places. I have not tried though.

I used no adapter. The plug should fit into your standard USA socket. There may be different requirement if you live in Europe.

It has a standard plug. Of course, I had to install an outlet where I needed it. I have had it 4 years and still works like a charm. Good luck.

This comes with a 2 prong plug but rounded ones that are mostly used in India. Something like this - http://shanuindia.com/electrical/extension-cords-spike-busters/2pcs-2-pin-conversion-plug-flat-to-normal-indian-socket/ Since there is no voltage converter, you won't be able to use it in the U.S. using a simple pin converter. You will have to use a transformer pin of some kind for this to work here. Hope this helps!....

Well, we used just a standard outlet. What is funky about the plug you have?

I assume one of the prongs is a bit larger (more square)? That is the modern polarity plug and sometimes they will not fit into old outlets. A couple-dollar adapter bought at any hardware store will cure your problem (take fixture with you so hardware store people know what you are talking about) or, you can update the outlet in your home that you want to use, with a new design outlet (not easy for untrained person to do and could be dangerous to try by yourself).

It's just a standard "American", three prong, grounded plug with four standard grounded outlets. It is not a European voltage converter. You would need a seperate converter.

The plug is a standard American plug. If you have a converter it would be fine.

I honestly have no idea, as I haven't been lucky enough to visit Europe (yet!). It fits into a standard American two-prong outlet, if that helps at all? :0)

I just bought this item. It only came with the standard USA plug configuration. You might want to contact the manufacturer to see if they offer it with the UK plug configuration. Or purchase an adapter.

Oh yes, indeed. It's a bit large and tends to cover up more than its share of a double outlet plate, but yes the plug is right in the back of it. And if you had the right converters you could take it abroad!

The plug at the end of the cable on the back is a standard North American three-prong, grounded plug. However, the entire cable is removable and the end that fits into the converter is a standard D-shaped connection that you will find on the back of most other household electronics such as printers, computers, etc... so you should be able to find a suitable cable at a hardware store or electronics store fairly cheaply. The other option would be to use a local plug adaptor on the provided cable to make it fit.

Negative... unit is rated for standard U.S. 120volt outlet and power transformer equipped with standard U.S. plug.

The adapter plugs directly into the socket, rather than having a cord. The plug is two pronged, but the prongs come detached from the adapter and you have to attach them yourself (which is simple, just put the prongs in the adapter and twist until it clicks). When you install the prongs, you have the option of pointing them in any direction, so you can set it up to where you can plug it into the bottom of a wall socket or the end of a strip plug without obscuring the other plugs, which is a passable solution.
