Some of the reviews said that this product was not compatible with standard outlets in the U.S. Is this true?

I've plugged it in many outlets in my house in Wisconsin and have never had a problem with that.

It is a two pronged plug and it fit in my US outlet just fine. One of the prongs is taller than the other; some outlets, maybe older ones, will not accommodate it.

I live in Austin TX and use this one. It comes with a cheap adapter for US outlets, but it works fine for me.

Hi! Yes. Appliances such as the ones you describe are exactly what this product was designed for. The difficulties will arise when people try to use it to plug in their laptop computers and other similar, more sensitive electronics, which can literally get 'fried' using this product. Unfortunately that is not mentioned anywhere on the Amazon page for this product, only on the packaging itself, which means you have to order it, as I did, thinking you were going to use it for any item needing an adapter/power converter from what's normally used in North America to plug it in and have it work in Great Britain & Europe, etc. - only to discover when you read the package and the instructions insert that it is _NOT_ recommended for electronics, only appliances.

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.

No. Aside from the plug &#128268; incompatibility, this thing draws a lot of current and a standard 110v/15A wall outlet will not work.

Here is a customer service line. Try it and see if their adapters are compatable in European outlets 1-800-326-6247. This is the best I can do for you, I hope you get the answers you need. This is an excellent product.

I am not sure, I am sorry. Which country are you taking it to?It works via standard US outlets.

Hello. It's a standard US outlet so it would need an adaptor and quite likely a converter as well

Depending on where you travel (and more importantly, where you stay), the wall sockets may have adaptable plugs that will accept US-standard prongs; if so, this charger will work fine. It worked well for me in Budapest at the Four Seasons. This unit does NOT include the longer Euro-style prongs in the box, and I think that's what another respondent meant when he said "no". As the question was voltage-related, not physical prong compatibility, the answer is a qualified yes.

If they use european style outlets, then yes. I dont know what kind of outlets they use however.

It looks like it should. I just googled and it looks like the outlets are the same as the European ones.

If your outlet plus match North American (USA) standards you're fine, other wise you will need a travel prong adapter.r

My house is the standard 120V....I do not believe it is to be used in a 220V outlet

I'm not sure if it can handle foreign outlet but it works on a standard American outlet. HTH.
