Check the voltage on your ac adapter's transformer. If it says like 110-240 volts (or something similar) then you are all set. Just think of your transformer as converting the voltage automatically. The only other thing you need to check for is if you need a plug adapter so that it'd fit in the electrical outlet in England. It'd just be a simple adapter.

We just returned from Ireland in Sept - all of our electronics worked with a converter. I would imagine that would be the case with this as well. I can't say enough how happy we are with this purchase. We travel with it all the time and always get questions from people nearby. I would recommend the bag carry case to make it easier to move around.

Yes. You will need an adapter, but no need for a converter. I just used it throughout Europe (Austria, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands).

You'd have to check with the seller or manufacturer. I can only speak for the fact that it was compatible with England's outlets which is what I purchased it for.

Well i went to radio shack and got the converter and extra plugs i needed for london...they worked on all my camera/video camera/battery chargers and portable dvd player. The only thing i had trouble with was hair straightner but anyways just look up power converter in search engine even here on amazon and that will give you some idea of what you need. Just make sure you get a converter and the plugs. Plus if you live close an electronic type store they can explain things alot better. Hope this helps

Yea, UK plugs work. The entire thing goes into a US outlet, so you'll need an adapter for wherever you're going. I bought a cheap travel set + this, and I was set for my entire trip.

When I was in Peru last year they had the same outlets that we have in the US so no converter was needed. I only used them in the Lima airport and at a hostel in Cuzco.

England is in Great Britain, so you need to use the adapter that says Great Britain.

I don't think you need a converter, all electronics today have it built-in. The only thing you will need is a 240v curling iron/straightener, even the converter's seem to burn out their motor's. I used the adapter for my phone, kindle, camera, shaver. My wife bought a 240v curling iron someone in our group used their 120v with a converter and it burnt out.

Yes. I am international flight attendant. I plug everything ( kindle, phone, music ) into the power strip. All newish electronics can take either voltage . Older hair dryers or flat irons will burn up as they are only 110v. You will need a plug adapter. It is not a converter, but am adapter... You should look for one that has some depth to the pins. Many plugs in Europe are inset, so the depth really pays off. Travel sites, or Amazon I a sure have plug adapters for sale. Mine has plugs for Europe, Shia, etc. All in one.

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

yes as India being a former commonwealth country uses UK standard and this converter does that. Additionally, in the more modern hotels they have combined outlets that automatically convert. This is by far the best converter and adapter i have used on all continents with the exception of antarctica. I keep it in my backpack for EVERYTHING.

yes it will although you have to note that the voltage (presuming that you're traveling from US to UK) in UK are 220V. So be careful when using certain electronics.

Found this helpful information for all of their models on the Phillips website: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=HX5620/20&dct;=QAD&faqview;=1&mid;=Link_FAQs&refnr;=0071221&scy;=US&slg;=AEN&vi;ew=aa12_view_partial.htmlI was also able to find the voltage information on my charger unit by completely unwinding the cord and looking on the base underneath where the cord is normally wrapped. Unfortunately my unit (Essence) is 110-120v, so won't work for my trip to europe without a converter.

....I need to know this question too as i might move to the UK at some point and they use 220!

Assuming you are in Europe, probably need a converter if the Dell made for us use, 110 volts. If not, electronics tend to have negative reaction

No, this is all you need except the appropriate adapter for whatever country you are in that has 220 voltage and want to change it to 110 to keep from frying your electronics.
