I see this is step-up and step-down; but the plug for the unit is American. Can I use this overseas to convert American products?

Definitely yes, although you may need a small adapter for the plug outside of US (The converter comes with an adapter but it has only 2 pins). I should recommend that this is a good product and works well for heavy wattage equipment (be sure to set to the proper conversion switch, located at the back of the device). Some times when you switch on the device a large vibration occurs for about 1 second, this is normal and is not a sign of malfunction (I guess it happens in quite humid regions).

You can if you purchase or own a converter. The plug itself is standard American. I'm confident that the power specifics fall within the accceptable European range.

It has an american style plug, so I would imagine it would need some sort of converter.you can pick those up anywhere. It works great for us....great time saver for sure. Good luck.

I don't know. I purchased this items so I can use my US electric appliances overseas.

Good question, this particular unit is made for 110v -120v, but you will need to use a step down

It's designed for american outlets only. You will need to find your own converter. It doesn't come with one.

I haven't used it for that. I have seen plugs that are used to convert European to American electricity at Walmart hope that helps. Happy trails

I head that there is an adapter for European conversion but know nothing about it. Good luck!

No, not without additional conversion equipment. 120V 60Hz power is required. I would not recommend using a step down transformer. Better to buy equipment designed for the local electrical supply specification.

The plug on the waver is a U.S. plug. So if you we're using it somewhere that uses a different plug it would not work. Maybe there are converters that you can buy though?

Alot of merchants will ship this internationally, but remember it's made for the US market and you'd need a converter and plug to fit your outlet. You have to really make sure you know what you are doing if you want to use this outside the US.

Any step_up/step_down transformer can be use to convert 110v to 220v or vice versa except that in this case it is an over kill to use a 3000W transformer for a 750W appliance.

not directly. you would need a converter like you need if you go to Europe to use your appliances over there.

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.

I would use a converter, but not sure. It may depend on which country you go to.

No. This converter can not be used US plug into Asian sockets. There are other converters available from Amazon to plug US plugs into sockets in Asia & EU.

I did a quick check on the voltage used in Brazil. It's usually same as here (110/120) or, in some cities can be 220. The suggestion was to contact the hotel/s you're staying in and ask. Many provide both types of outlets. The step-down should work if 220 is only option but I'm truly not 100% sure. Good luck.
