Is this adapter for foreign wall outlets or american outlets? In the picture it shows both so I am confused and need to know before purchasing.

the one that I received was for American outlets only - but I also don't remember seeing an image that showed both when I purchased it.

The unit that I received was for American outlets only. I have had it for a while now, so it is possible the design changed. When I purchased, the photos showed it as only having an American style plug.

You can use this in the US and foreign countries. Input is 100-240vac 50/60HZ, Output: 12V .....2000mA

Mine is not, it fits the standard us outlet. I have ordered four of these in the last year and not had any issues.

The charger has two parts. If you don't know you need to put the two parts together you might think the part with the USB cable is for a foreign country. That part is actually universal. It's the other part (wall plug/charger) that is country specific. Mine came with the correct wall plug part/charger.

I just looked at the picture (above) with the AC adapter, and the label says 100 to 240 VAC, which is the standard type of AC adapter these days. But, if you live in a country, where they have AC wall sockets that are different from standard USA sockets, you might need a simple adapter. It just changes the configuration of the plug, (not the voltage) so it will plug into non-USA sockets.. PS: These adapters accept both 50 and 60hz power.

Hello, AndersIt´s just the American Type A wall plug. I don´t think it will work in Europe, unlesss you can get an adapter for it.Good luck.

Outside of the US, you will need an adapter. In other words, the part of this power strip that plugs into the wall will need to be plugged into an adapter first.

Yes. The power strip has a USA 3-prong plug on the end. You will need an adapter to plug it into the wall outlets for other countries. I recommend the Ceptics universal adapters. They come in sets of 3 for each country, and accept inputs from just about any country's plugs (same outlets as the adapter itself). You can buy all of these on amazon.

This is not a converter. It is an adapter specific to Israel with three prongs for the outlet. See Paul A. Susen's answer below - he thoroughly explained the difference.

This adopter is for US appliances to connect to European 220 V outlet. To hook up skiny round prong which seems to be for 220v outlet does not need this converter. And it does not covert 110v to 220 so it is not to be used in US.

It's set for American outlets. The voltage is set for American or other countries. I still need an adaptor to plug it in when outside the USA.

I've lived in Japan for 6 years--you don't need an adapter to use US devices in Japan, unless maybe you have something that is grounded (3 prongs) as some outlets in Japan aren't grounded. Their voltage is slightly less than ours, 110V as compared to 120V in the United States, so no worries there, either.

P.S. you will need a polarized adapter to plug it in the foreign outlet. I just tried it with a polarized American plug and it worked in one of the ...(I don't know what the holes are called!) but not in two of them.

Mine came with a European power adaptor. Does not fit US power outlets. Not sure why that wasn't mentioned in the description but obviously this is an issue for me.

Hi, Lu- It has US, European, and English/Irish inputs and outputs - which also cover Japan, Thailand, Australia, and other places - so it's pretty universal. Note that it does not change voltages. It is an adapter, not a power converter. I don't particularly like how it fits into some inset wall outlets in Europe - the device has some weight to it, so it can tend to pull out of the wall. There are small adapters for Europe that work much better.

These are American adapters. We bought to take to our apartment in Italy. You plug them directly into the Italian outlet and then plug in your American appliance.

It has an American plug built right into it. Our company is in California and the bulk of out business is for American customers. There is a European adapter included as well. Kind regards, Terry 877-268-1235 x304

It is a US style 2 pin plug (for 120V I believe). But I suppose you could buy an adapter for international outlets.
