I am wondering the same thing. Is the power supply 100/240v compatible? Could someone please let us know, as this is the only thing holding me back from purchasing this.Thanks!

That makes two of us. However, in addition to whether it can handle up to 240v, I need to know if it can handle both 50Hz and 60Hz.

Thanks. It would have been nice if Amazon had provided that information in its product description.

You have buy an adaptor there a number offered on Amazon to allow world wide plug in

I recommend you try the 4 port USB 3.0. It requires no external power. However, charging devices through this port is not recommended. I have one and it has worked with everything I have tried in it.

I bought a US model though I'm on continental Europe. I use an adapter for the socket, and that works fine. Also, don't forget to replace the lamp that comes with it with one of your country, since the US lamp works on a different voltage and will go 'pop' otherwise.

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.

Joel, there's no issue with using the charger across different regions - as you stated, it just needs a necessary plug adapter as for example here in the UK we use a three rectangular pin socket rather than a two pin round one. But these adapters are widely available. Robert

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.

We tried to use it in England. It failed miserably. Had to by an adapter form a local store in London. Used that one for the rest of our trip in Scotland and Ireland.

If you place an order from the UK or any other country that uses UK plugs, we will include UK plugs automatically, and our power supplies are designed to work on multiple voltages. If you place an order from another country but still want a UK plug, send me another message when you submit your order and I will make sure you get one. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello: I got this set with the "European Plug", as seen in the picture - but this is just an adapter plug! The actual charger as a "fold-in/fold-out" flat-pin plug (USA), and the additional adapter so you can use it on travels in other countries that accept the round-pin plug. If you are worried about using it in the US, do not worry: check the extra images on the Amazon.com site, and then you will see that it actually is a USA-standard flat-pin plug, and as a bonus, you get the round-pin adapter.

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

I have personally used it in the US, UK, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Israel, Mexico and Japan. Had no issues at any of these locations. Just needed the right power adapter for each country :)

Not unless you have a converter/adapter. You can buy a converter/adapter at most any store that sells electronics/hardware. Not expensive and a must have if you take ANY plug in device to Europe.

Not sure what the power connectivity specs are there, but it worked in the UK, Austria and Slovakia. Find out the power specs and see it they are similar/compatible. There is a EU spec that was available in the other countries but in the UK there were both that spec and the UK spec. the device worked with both...

Here is a customer service line. Try it and see if their adapters are compatable in European outlets 1-800-326-6247. This is the best I can do for you, I hope you get the answers you need. This is an excellent product.

This is the right adapter for US devices to plug into Australia/New Zealand power outlets - I've used many of them myself in Australia. But remember it does not convert the power. Some devices (e.g., hairdryers) will also require a transformer to convert the local power to something the device can handle, otherwise it will burn out (danger!). US devices are built for 110 or 120 volt input, while NZ will be supplying at 220 or 240 volt. Read the fine print on your device's power supply cord or owner's manual to see what type of voltage the device is expecting. Other devices (e.g., laptops and mobile phones) are more flexible and accept 110 to 240 volt input, so you'll only need the plug adapter for those devices, but read up on your models to be sure. In short, use plug adapters for physically getting your plugs into the outlet, but also take a 240 to 120v transformer (step down transformer) for any devices that expect 120v input when the supply is 240v. Happy travels!

I've received 1234-0437 with power adapter for Europe (with additional adapter for USA outlets) The box says it can connect to 2 devices with multipoint, however it capable of connecting to 3 devices (don't have any more devices to test it with, but based on icon spacing there is no more room for more devices)... The description from the front of the box is translated on the side to three languages: Spanish, French and German
