does this automatically change the current if used in U.S. and Europe?

The plug-in transformer states: 100-240v. and 50/60HZ. Therefore the answer must by yes. You will need an adapter to plug into European plugs. (which you probably know.)

The unit is essentially automatic. Depending upon what country you intend to use it in, you might have to get a plug adaptor for that country. Country specific tech specs are available and this is certainly not a show stopper.

no, for USA uses 120 volt, 60 Hz. Europe uses 50Hz electric. Very small chance they have a power pak for your application. (There might be a AC adaptor you can use) You might be able to find a power pak in Europe for 15 volts DC output, but the pin plug would have to match the equipment.

As a general the answer would be no. Much of Europe runs on 208 or 220 current, which will fry your electronics without a convertor. That said, there are electronics out there which are designed and capable of running on multiple currents. Some electric shavers, for example.

No it does not; however, not sure why you need to unless your device uses the the frequency rate for timing a device. Otherwise, all you're doing is converting voltage levels.

Yes, I used it both in Europe and here in the US just fine. The straight prongs are folded in and can't be seen in the picture.

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards

I don't know if you are in the states, or abroad. Generally with appliances, if abroad, you need a device to convert the current. I did not have any problems getting mine to work, and it still works just as fine now, as when I first purchased it. It also need to charge first...and so you plug it into a wall outlet to let it charge. Hope that helps. Margie

No. Get a converter before traveling to Europe. They are small and convenient.

not directly. you would need a converter like you need if you go to Europe to use your appliances over there.

Absolutely. The only differenze with US power would be the frequence (50 Hz in Europe, 60 Hz in the US) but nowadays almost no device would have a problem with that, so you're good.

No. European configuration (220 VAC, but pin configuration wrong for US) you would have to change the outlet.

No this product works on a North American electrical current. You could get a adapter if you are abroad.

I have only used it in the US, but since I can find no way to manually change the voltage I can only assume it automatically senses the 100--240 volts present. Comes w. an adapter plug for foreign power outlets.

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.

It is my understanding that it will work with every current on the planet, it has many different options for settings & plugs. I have only used mine in Europe, and I use in here in the US all the time with a curling iron that is not being sold here, it works very well.

I don't know for sure but from my experience (lived in the UK 15 years), US electrical items like this item never work properly with a converter.
