Can this work in the UK? How does the voltage switch from North America 110v to overseas 220-240V? Has anyone used this in England?

The AC Adapter reads 100-240v, so it should work fine if you have a simple plug adapter to convert the US 2-prong. Have not used in the UK so YMMV.

You can use this in England but you must have a plug adaptor. I have used the Air-O-Swiss in London hotels with a plug adapter.

Typically if you are ordering from a seller on amazon they should list this. I would guess if the seller is in US, it will only come with the US adapter. The unit itself can switch between voltages.

It does not. Your model only operates on 100-120 v. There is another model which lets you switch between 100-120 to 200-240v.I own both models as I travel frequently to Europe. I have never had a problem regarding the voltage.

hi francis, it's universal power supply that switches automatically from 100-240 volts depending on your wall. it has a 2 prong american (or mor accurately japanese plug) but you just need a simple us to uk plug (not the more expensive transformer) Alternatively, you could probably get a 5v (1amp) power suppy at dixons in uk or on amazon uk if you don't want the clutter of a us to uk adapter in your outlet. let me know if you have further questions. i've lived in uk for 9yrs so i know all about getting stuff to work!

Linda, Personally I would not recommend this power strip for use in England. This power strip is rated for typical US input voltages of approximately 125 volts with a maximum amperage capacity of 15amps. It is not rated for 220-240 volt use. Additionally this outlet strip contains LEDs which may not survive if fed with 220 volts. From one adapter's description page: "...To use this plug adapter, your electric device must be 220-240V or 100v-240v..." Any devices or power blocks you plug in over there need to be capable of handling up to 220 volts. Stay safe and enjoy yourself !

Dear Customer,This item is dual voltage for Worldwide use anywhere. The only thing you will need is a plug adapter since the outlets in UK are shaped differently.Thanking you,EWO

The answer is actually that it operates on 120 Voltage (standard household voltage) and not on 240 Voltage, unless you use a converter (transformer).

This plug adapter does not change the voltage. It just changes the positions of the plug to fit from a UK male to USA male. The product you are using this with must work from the USA voltage of 115-120 volts. This does not change 120 volts to 240 volts or visa-versa. I hope this helps

I have only used it in the US, but since I can find no way to manually change the voltage I can only assume it automatically senses the 100--240 volts present. Comes w. an adapter plug for foreign power outlets.

Check the voltage on your ac adapter's transformer. If it says like 110-240 volts (or something similar) then you are all set. Just think of your transformer as converting the voltage automatically. The only other thing you need to check for is if you need a plug adapter so that it'd fit in the electrical outlet in England. It'd just be a simple adapter.

No this model is a bit more pricy but you can switch it between 120 and 240 volts. I used it also during a trip to Europe with no problem

Input voltage is only 120 Volts. A. C. in USA/Canada model. In other models (General and Asia models) is posible to switch 110-120 v. or 220-240 v.

Yes it does work. I've used it in the UK. I've just plugged it in on all three settings and the plug fits on all three. However, I have not used it on the European setting.

I checked, for 120V only, no switch or dual voltage, but weird thing is ( or maybe I'm just lucky), my girl friend bring it to Europe (London and Paris), it works with the 240V well.......

The power supply is auto switching and will handle both voltages. It also works with different AC time bases - it is happy with both the 110 Volt/60Hz US ac and the 220 Volt/50 Hz ac in England.

This will work in France where they have E type outlets. It will not work in the UK where they use G type outlets.

My model (USA and Canada) works only on 110V. It says in the manual that there is a European model that works on 240V. So it looks like there are no one model that works with both voltages.
