In Europe do I need a down-converter in addition to this? This is just an adapter, right? Will be using for cell phones, fitbit, camera and laptop.

This is just an adapter I used it in India and then Kenya and it worked fine for my Fitbit, phone and tablet.

It was SUPPOSE to be the converter but since it was broke when I received I honestly do not know exactly what it did. Plus the vendor did nothing to make good on their product when I called immediately upon returning to the country after being gone for 2 weeks.

Don't think you need it. It worked to charge iPhone & iPad in France, no problem.

This is just an adapter - not a voltage converter. My daughter used this all over Europe to charge her cell phone, camera, and laptop. You can use it for anything that charges using a USB port. It worked great and was so convenient to have all adapter plugs encased in one unit.

Per Kensington's Product Manual:* The adapter is not a voltage converter:the input voltage of the device connected must be compatible with the voltage of the local mains network.http://accoblobstorageus.blob.core.windows.net/literature/77b5b977-f1ed-4d93-8958-ce41ad565f8b.pdf

This has all the adapters and connections in it. No need for any converters. I used it for my cell phone, fitbit and laptop. My co-traveler did it for the camera.

If you only use the USB ports, you do not need a down-converter. It will convert any input voltage (110 to 250VAC) to the 5V 2.1A USB ports on the device. If it will physically plug in, it will work fine for USB.If you want to plug things into the AC outlet on the front of the adapter, then the thing you plug in MUST support the voltage of the country you are visiting. Check the adapter or device to make sure it supports that voltage. If it does not, it will destroy the thing you are plugging in.

I just used this in London with a Windows phone and tablet and an iPhone and iPad. Nothing else is needed. I am told these days that voltage conversion is handled by the devices.

Theoretically, it should work anywhere in Europe either southern or northern. There is a slight differnece in the adaptors for southern Europe or northern Europe, but both are included in the kit.

The adapter works in Europe, only. A U.S. adapter is NOT included. Amazon needs to update the product title and product description to include this vital information.

It should work in some places, but may not in others; see: http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products;_id=321

Used in UK just fine. Also converts any current to USB for phones, cameras, etc. without having to use a charger.

It works in US. And I think with the converter it should work in Europe as well.

When I travel, I always carry a "step-up" converter just in case as most hotels these days have both outlets.I don't wish to speak for the manufacturer. Ask them to be sure.

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

I'm not sure. I can tell u I used it in eastern Europe but had to use the included adapter.

The device charger says input 100 to 240 V just like a lot of low voltage electronics (laptops, etc) but the prongs are flat (US) so adapter will be needed for European use

Different European countries have different voltage currencies, however if you bring a voltage converter and plug adapter for the region you'll be in it should work fine. I took it to India and had no problem using it with my converter and adapter.

Just now got your question. NO, you don't need a converter, but you DO need an adapter so that you can plug it into European wall outlets. (The adapters vary from region to region so make sure you have the right adapter for wherever you are going.) For future information about anything electric, just check the plug area and if it says 120/240, it's international! Hope this is not too late to help you.

You will need to add the European adapter plug. I've used this both in Italy and in Africa. Very handy...with several charging options in one plug.

I used mine in Switzerland and Europe and had no problems. All I need was the prong adapter for each country I went to. It automatically adapted

Hi Diane - I believe you will need a converter or adapter in Italy as purchase the adapter is not included.

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.
