Hi, I just ordered the waterpik and didnt even think whether the cord would work in Australia...? Im assuming im going to have to use a convertor ?

It is a US voltage. not sure what the voltage is in Australia. I need to use a transformer in the UK for it to work. Hope this helps.

I actually believe that it has global voltage, meaning it works on 110 or 220. The only thing is having the correct plug for your country. Should be no need for a transformer.

I used this one all over the world including Australia and it works great. Just get a adapter to plug it in to the wall or use the USB plug.

reading through previous questions shows that the ac adaptor is good for 110-230v so should be fine for australia. all you need is an adaptor plug (2 angled flat pins instead of the us style 2 parallel flat pins).

Depends on what you are connecting with them. My iphone in Italy worked, my curling iron worked because it was dual voltage, but my Oral B toothbrush required a converter for the voltage. You need to read the voltage requirements on your device.

I'd check a store in Australia. This is made for the U.S./Canada market and is 110 volts. It'll work down under for about 13 seconds before it melts or bursts into flame once you file down the prongs so they'll fit your system. :0 And the plug is entirely different. Never understood why someone would buy an electric appliance from a foreign country with different power and plug configurations but the results can be fun to watch if you are at a safe distance from the fire.

Here at SunflowerSupplies.com we ship worldwide and would have no problem shipping to Australia. I can include a 240v cord instead for an extra $10.

I have no idea if the charger will work in Australia? It probably will with a converter as you have different plugs than we do. My husband has the old version and I have the new version, there is not much difference except for what kind of battery (his works with rechargeable battery, mine works with "AAA" batteries).

no - I cant plug it into the Australian power plug I was very disappointed and tried a adapter, but it did not work either. Now I sit here with a brand new ghd and cant use it.

Out of the box it definitely won't plug right into your outlets. I also believe it to be designed for 110v, so unless Australia is 110v it probably won't work. I can't answer for sure as I've never had the good fortune to travel to Australia.

Be very careful buying off Amazon I bought this vaccum cleaner and it was sent to New Zealand and it was the wrong power voltage so I had to send it back. In the end this was a very expensive mistake, it cost $290.00 in postage and I didn't get that repaid. When I pointed out that it that didn't work on NZ power the answer was but it works in America and Canada, which is no help at all. Be very very careful!!

Hey, I'm an Australian customer, I had to buy an adaptor for the power plug plug to have it operate, but it runs absolutely fine on AC240v 50hz, the stock product has an American plug that supports 110v, the plug in transformer (power supply is, 100-240v, 2A, 50-60hz) so it is compatable with Australian specs, Great product though :D

I don't know what is te standard voltage in Australia, but if is different to USA the device will not work.

The unit is compatible with Australia's 230V 50Hz current. You'd need an adapter plug like Amazon's Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type I for Australia, China, New Zealand and more - High Quality - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant in order to plug the unit into an Australian outlet.

US has a power surge input of 110v, Australia has the highest one globally with 240v. If it does not work it will burn your device. I bought one in the US and I live in Europe which has a current of 220v. I was advised to buy a power convertor. Something that converts to an output of 9v 700mA. Any electrical shop will have that. Having said that, when I opened the box of the Leap Pad 2 Power I bought for my son the AC adaptor that comes with it says Input 100v - 240v and the leaflet that came with it lists the different currents for US/Canada, UK/Europe and Australia/NZ. I am thinking it comes prepared for all these countries but it does not state this clearly so I still have doubts. I am going to research more but the safest bet is to buy the power convertor which should be no more that 20 ozzie dollars.

Plugs fit Australian sockets but Australia is 240v. Plugs will not convert 120v to 240v. Will burn out your U.S. electronics if unit does not have an input/ output controller/resistor, like you woulld find on laptops, most phone chargers and items designated for international usage. i.e. U.S. hairdryers and haircurlers will most likely burn out.

I'm actually in Singapore, so my plug is different. Australia uses the "canted" plug such as there: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-Universal-Australia-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00BSD8U8W .. but the idea is the same. .. You might just get some of these, for everything else that's "US", that can just plug in with a straight adapter. Many small chargers can accept the higher Australian voltages with no problem. This unit does comes with an adapter that has two round pins. Use this adapter WITH the Australian adapter! One little "gotcha" that I found, is that using the adapter with the three prongs will short out the unit and blow the fuse! By using the two pin adapter in the setup, you effectively bypass the third (ground) plug, and you're good to go! Modern US (flat screen) computer monitors and flat screen TVs work great with this unit. I have seen nothing the suggests that there is any after effect of the difference between the US "60hz" and the rest of the world's "50 hz". You should have no problems! Enjoy!
