I want to know if this strip would be appropriate to take with me to the UK if I plug it in to a UK adapter plug. Also, I need 2 and 3 prong sockets.

Yes you have ability for 2 or 3 prong plugs as long as they are straight and not at angle. The key with this strip is the individual switch

Linda, Personally I would not recommend this power strip for use in England. This power strip is rated for typical US input voltages of approximately 125 volts with a maximum amperage capacity of 15amps. It is not rated for 220-240 volt use. Additionally this outlet strip contains LEDs which may not survive if fed with 220 volts. From one adapter's description page: "...To use this plug adapter, your electric device must be 220-240V or 100v-240v..." Any devices or power blocks you plug in over there need to be capable of handling up to 220 volts. Stay safe and enjoy yourself !

It will work with 2 & 3 prong plugs, such as a power cord for a computer (these are usually 3-prong) and it will work with iPhone chargers, and other chargers such as blue tooth. What it will NOT accept are 2-prong, polarized plugs (where one of the prongs is wider than the other). However, to use a polarized plug in the power strip, you would first plug in a UK or European adapter into the power strip and then plug your polarized plug into the adapter....that works fine. We did that on a trip to UK and France...we took 3 or 4 adapters with us. This power strip came in very handy to charge multiple devices as we often found that some hotel rooms had few available outlets. Also, you will need one UK or European adapter to plug in the 3-prong cord for this adapter.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what kind of plug is used in the UK....the plug on this unit is a standard plug for the US (one prong a little wider than the other) if that is of any help to you. I love the unit and so does everyone who's seen it, works well and looks great. Good luck.

Mine came with an adapter for plugging into other electrical outlets than the U.S. standards, so I am assuming it will be ok in UK. I have not tried it to verify though.

My apologies. I don't know if you can use it on UK power, but the plug is a general US plug.

Hi Dianna, According to my research the US uses 110v and the UK uses 240v. No the US version will not be suitable for the UK. Try finding a adaptor that will change your voltage to 110v.

This will NOT work in Great Britain. They have different outlets that differ from many of the outlets in mainland Europe. I suggest you search for an adapter that specifies use in the UK.

Yes, that power strip is compatible with all US 3-prong plugs, 110-240V, which makes it nice in that no other hardware is needed.

Dear Customer,This item is dual voltage for Worldwide use anywhere. The only thing you will need is a plug adapter since the outlets in UK are shaped differently.Thanking you,EWO

While I'm not an EE, my guess would be yes. It has enough current capacity to handle more than one device. Your trouble may be in finding an adaptor for the power strip to plug into transformer. Looks like a standard two-prong (ungrounded) US outlet to me, but I didn't try to plug any two pronged devices into it. Your Japanese (or whatever) devices presumably have two-pronged connectors, and if they fit a US outlet the scheme should work. Both prongs on my Japanese turntable are the same width, so your two-pronged adaptor would, presumably, need to conform. These days, most all US two-pronged connectoors are differing widths, but this could be overcome with a little judicious filing. While I'm not an EE, my guess would be yes.

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.

It takes a USA 3 prong plug no problem, although the 3rd ground pin isn't carried through. It has worked for me in Europe with no issues, and appears it will work well in other parts of the world fine too.

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.

Joe, I use a Brookstone plug adaptor(with interchangeable plugs to work for where ever you are) then plug this into that. The great thing about this powerstrip is that 3 devices + a usb can be plugged in simultaneously. The combination has been invaluable to me travelling in Europe and Australia. Hope this helps.

It is a 2 prong-square plug, not round prongs...you may need an adapter, but I'm not familiar with the UK electrical standards.

Hello, in answer to your question, this is a two-way transformer, so can be used in the UK to give 115 Volts output for USA devices UP TO A MAXIMUM POWER OF 3000 WATTS, so should power most items okay here in the UK. However, you certainly will need to buy some type of adapter with a 3-pin UK plug on one side, into which you can plug the cable end of the transformer into, like the one in this web link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CANADA-3-Pin-Visitor-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B000NPACOGHope this helps,Regards

Yes. Two of the three available plugs accept American 3-prong plugs. Mine worked perfectly in London.
