Besides the country specific plug, do I also need another adapter to change plug in from 3 prong to 2 ? I noticed my UK plug is for 2 prong,.

As long as the grounding pin fits on the side of the adapter when you plug the cord in, you don't need another adapter. It's safe to have the grounding pin exposed.Here is a related discussion:http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/index.cfm?topic=24128

If your country specific adapter plug will not accept the thee-prong plug from the power strip you will need to buy a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter in order to plug the strip into your Uk adapter plug.

the strip plugs into a USA receptacle as pictured - yes you will need a PLUG Adaptor to change it from US to UK .... the strip will accept all Europe / UK plugs.... just get a plug adaptor from amazon... they're like $5.00 - and they're great to have, especially if you only want to use it for one device, so you don't have to pull out the strip...

This power strip has a 3-prong plug. To use it in Italy I purchased an adapter with 2-prong plug and it worked beautifully.

No. A 2-prong plug works just fine in this unit. My phone and iPad chargers are both 2-pronged, and they work perfectly with this power strip.

If you are talking about the version of the adapter that works in Australia/New Zealand the answer is Yes. The device has the three prongs that match with outlets in New Zealand and Australia. If you look closely at the picture, you will see that it has three holes that match the US plugs with three prongs. And I think two if not all three outlets on this device can accept 3 prong plugs. Just remember that this is not a converter and it won't work for US devices like hair dryers that only use 110 volts. It should work with your computer.

Plug the three pronged plug into a UK adapter (or appropriate adapter for ant country) and plug into local socket. The three receptacles on the power strip will accept US/ UK/ European plugs as a multiple socket extension cord.

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.

No, I own three by two different comanies and they all have two prongs. You can buy a three prong adapter if you want to but most electrical outlets are grounded anyway.

this comes with a US plug so if your country's socket is not as a US socket then you will need to get the proper adapter

Yes, but you will need a plug converter from the 2 prong American or mainland Europe to the 3 prong English plug.

Lindsey---All the Europe to USA Plug Adapter does is it converts two round prongs to two flat prongs for use in the USA. The chances of two of these adapters failing to work is not too probable. Either you have a bad power outlet connection or the Sony is inoperable. Try plugging the Sony into another power outlet & if that fails to power it up, return the Sony for one that works properly----good luck---Adios---Ralph.

The answer is YES. If you purchased the unit in the USA (as I did through Amazon), it comes (included) with a set of adapters for the UK and European standard power plugs. I suppose that if you purchase the unit in Europe this is a non issue. Regards.

Mine came with the standard US plug with two flat prongs (no ground). I need an adapter to connect to Brazilian outlets, so I bought one and have kept it dedicated to my charger, just like most of the appliances bought abroad. It shouldn't be expensive for you to buy and attach an US to EU adapter to it.

One needs to purchase an appropriate plug converter. Something like thatVCT VP18 UK to USA Plug Adapter Converts 3 pin British Plug to 3 Prong Grounded USA Wall Plug(you may google it)

This plugs in fine in the U.S.A. So i would guess it wouldnt work in the U.K. Without an adapter if there is such a thing?

We think you need 2 Prong to 3 Prong Grounding Adapter, Amazon ASIN # B003XDF2H2 "Grounding Adaptor - 2 Pack"

The supplier has sent you a unit with a European plug in error! Same thing happened to me. As I travel to Europe, I already had a foreign adapter. I would send unit back. Failing that you will have to spend $6-$10 for travel adapter.

US plug only...but dual voltage 110 or 220V AC. The other end is a 5.5mm dc plug.There is no UK 3-prong plug adaptor. You can get it at discount stores for $1 each.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

My Doxie came with multiple (four?) "prongs" for the power adapter -you just slide in the one you need. I wish I could tell you for which countries they work - but I returned the Doxie so I can't double check - sorry about that. I hope this helps.
