I currently have an adapter with all of the different plug/prongs for different countries. Is this something I need in addition to that?

The plugs are pretty much standard with all converters. The converter is the main piece to the puzzle. This is thecomponent that reduces the line voltage from 220V to 120V , the U.S. Standard for hair dryers, curling irons etc.

It depends on the devices you are planning on using. If devices are dual voltage then the answer would be no. If they are not dual voltage then yes.

If the plugs you currently have convert your voltage from 220/230 to 110, then no you don't need this converter. I hope this helps!

I am not sure if you will need an adapter in other parts of North America but it works fine in the US.

Mine only came with the standard US plug. Unless I missed something, you'll need a transformer plug for international use.

I used I in Germany, England, and Wales with just the outlet adaptor. So, yes.

Never checked it on other countries.There are different adapters from the same brand for other countries.Anyway, I am very satisfied with this product ( I bought several units)

My understanding is that any of your electrical devices/appliances can be used if you purchase the appropriate international outlet adapter.

The answer is YES. If you purchased the unit in the USA (as I did through Amazon), it comes (included) with a set of adapters for the UK and European standard power plugs. I suppose that if you purchase the unit in Europe this is a non issue. Regards.

Mine came with the standard American plug. You would need a converter in other country.

Jeffrey, this one has the UK Three Prong Plug that is prevalent in the UK and Gulf Countries. If you are using it in Continental Europe or Central Asia you will need the adapter plug which costs about 1 euro to plug into the two prong outlet.

As far as I understand it, you have to buy converters for any electrical items that you want to use in another country. You may also have to buy the correctly shaped electrical plug that will fit into the outlets, which then attaches to the the converter. You should put this issue into a search. I did it recently for a different country I will be traveling to. You'd be amazed at all the configurations that other countries use.

You need to get a universal plug adapter for Europe and it will be compatible.

You don't need to get that. It's way easier simply to buy an International Power Adapter and then you have it almost worldwide. I use the one at eForCity Universal World Wide Travel Charger Adapter Plug, White everywhere.

You Could Order An Adapter For It. Or Return It For The Regular Plug, Because The One You Have Could Be The UK Plug And Not The US.

Yes! Just used mine overseas just fine. Just needed an adaptor for the plug.

the strip plugs into a USA receptacle as pictured - yes you will need a PLUG Adaptor to change it from US to UK .... the strip will accept all Europe / UK plugs.... just get a plug adaptor from amazon... they're like $5.00 - and they're great to have, especially if you only want to use it for one device, so you don't have to pull out the strip...

Amazon needs to rewrite this. What they are trying to say is that you can choose the appropriate universal adaptor for the country you are going to and it will universally accept plugs from every country except South Africa. In other words as long as you are not from South Africa you can use thee adaptors.

Joel, there's no issue with using the charger across different regions - as you stated, it just needs a necessary plug adapter as for example here in the UK we use a three rectangular pin socket rather than a two pin round one. But these adapters are widely available. Robert
