Hello. I do not recall the type plus of this model. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my sister last year and did not use it, myself. Yes - I am in the USA, and my sister, who is also in the USA, indicated she used and liked the item.

David, if your read the information on the web site about this unit, it tells you "exactly" what the unit can and will handle.I used mine in the U.K. The voltage will not be a problem, but the wattage may be, and as I don't have that information as I discarded mine( the information pamphlet) when we came back here.Read yours, or the sales info, and make your decision from there, as the description they give is excellent.

The power voltages for the wall outlets are different according to wikipedia (120V in United States, 220V in Thailand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country), so if you purchase this, make sure you get an adapter that would work with your voltage.Thailand 220V, USA 120V...something like this maybe: Seven Star F200 200 Watt 220/240V to 110/120V AC Step Down Travel Convertergood luck!

You can probably use the same outlet and use the low wattage burner without trouble. The high wattage burner should not be used with any other piece of equipment on it. As a precaution, I have the double burner in a circuit breaker and turn everything off or reconnect other items if I want to use the high wattage burner. I don't plug it directly into an wall outlet just to be sure I don't blow the circuit breaker. Be cautious if you have older wiring or don't know exactly how things are set up.

On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere. On the back of the unit, on the impossible to read white raised letters, it also only lists 120V. I think in theory a power strip is simply extending any power coming in. It seems like almost all this stuff is made for the world market and i would bet they sell the exact same device oversea's with different plugs and it works fine. I'd be tempted to go ahead and use it, but you're on your own. The maximum spike current is 12,000A, I don't know what amperage is used on a 240V system, but I think it's less than the US amperage. I'm liking it more and more as I use it. On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere.

You cannot plug this INTO a US outlet, but you can plug all US devices into it. This plug allows all sorts of devices (US included) to work in outlets in the UK.

The manufacturer of this product suggest that only one unit to an outlet, because your outlet's circuit breaker for that plug outlet may not berated for that much wattage. Plugging two of these units may cause your circuit breaker to trip or over heat. Or if you have fuse they may over load and blow.

I suggest you speak with the seller about this. The one I got was for US 110V outlets so you would need a converter. Maybe others sell the ones for UK but I do not know. This one is for US.

I'm no techie but I do know that the US uses 60 cycle electric current and foreign countries use 50 or 55 I can't remember which. Just get a plus that matches your cycle.

From pervious answer: "It is 1500 the same as most of them. Ours just stopped working, we had it 3 years" not correct...Voltage is standard US household voltage of ~120V. Wattage is 1500. This is close to the maximum of must household outlet circuits. It will work fine in most cases, however, you cannot put two of these units on a single circuit. Two units will trip the breaker. One will not.From another previous answer: "Do not use this item with an extension cord or surge protector. It will melt the cord and short out the heater" This statement is true only if you use a small extension with inadequate wire guage. A good 12 ga. extension will work fine.

I reread the description and don't know where you got that idea but there is a standard plug which you DO plug into a 120v standard outlet. I used them last year. Nice and bright and if its too long for your space, just double back once you get to the end.

Mine just has a standard plug for US. (whatever that is) I imagine if you purchase a conversion kit your could use it other places. I have not tried though.

OK, I'm striking out all over. It *is* a surge surpressor. (It's been a LONG time since that trip...) I used this in FRANCE - which uses a socket type E. The plug adapter site says that the plug (2 prongs) will fit into types C E F and L. The outlet you used would have to be a type C (flat) - not the funny recessed one (J). I know I took a cheap netbook with me, rather than my Mac. My Netbook survived the experience.

You probably already made up your mind by now, but if you haven't I think you should just pick between this one or the Belkin 2.1 amp/10 watt. The older Belkin (1 amp/5 watt) is practically useless in terms of its USB ports (way too underpowered for today's devices). &#10004; Keep in mind that the Belkin 2.1amp is split between the two USB ports (i.e. combined they can output 2.1 amp, and if both are used simultaneously then it will be less for each port). So you can charge a tablet at full speed if that's the only thing plugged into the USB ports, or two devices as slower speed. &#10004; Also know that the Belkin is also a "surge protector" so you have protection against surges, while the Monster strip is simply a splitter. &#10004; The Monster strip is rated for 110v-220v. The Belkin is technically rated for ONLY 110v (US), BUT reviewers have state they've successfully used it internationally. I have the older Belkin and am also having trouble deciding between this Monster strip or the newer Belkin (2.1 amp). If you need/want the surge protection then the Belkin is the only way to go. Otherwise the smaller size of the Monster strip is nice, but it's bright blue light can be annoying (but you can tape over that). I'm also considering getting the 4 outlet version of the Monster strip and just forgoing the USB port (since it's only 1.5 amp). Really a judgement call at this point. Hope this helps.

I love these units and have placed them in my home and church for safety during power outages. The only unit that requires 120v is the main power controll unit (the other units run on battery) and the literature on that unit does NOT say it will run on 220v. However, after living for a time in Europe I am sure you can use a small adapter to go from 220 to 120v and use this unit.In Him, Dr. Carl

This plugs into a normal household outlet which in the US is now considered 120. (used to be 110) You can find that information online. It's not listed as such on a common small electrical appliance.

I believe each spot can accept either EU or British plug although I have to admit the EU plugs do not hold as firm as I would like. The wall plug itself is an EU plug but the sockets on the strip can accept EU or British configurations. As realdad alluded to below, it will be an ungrounded connection for your EU plugs if that is something of a concern to you.
