Has anyone traveled abroad and used in different countries? If so, did you just use the plug adapter and it worked just as well (heat/temp.etc.)?

I we live in Spain and we have used the plug adapter in different countries and it works perfectly. My wife says that is great.

Hi! I am going to Europe and I just purchased this wall charger. After reading all posts about burnt IPods I got really scared. What if voltage difference will burn my IPod. Has anyone tried this product in Europe?

No. This charger has two different types of amps on each port which effects the rate of charging. In order for this to work overseas, you would need to buy an adaptor for the plug (the part that goes into the outlet). Hope that answers your question.

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.

First of all this is not a Travel Adapter. If you are looking for a travel adapter try looking for one of those instead. This is a "Universal" AC adapter that you can adjust to work with just about any device that needs an AC adapter. It comes with all the tips you might need and has the ability to change polarity and voltage to meet your requirements. If you want a travel adapter to use around the world look for the right item instead of being sanctimonious about products that were not intended for your application.

I had to use two plug adaptors, in France, because the one (with the round pins) which go into the wall outlet has also only two openings at the back, while my travel power strip (as you can observe in the picture) has three. Note: The first adaptor does not typically come with adapter kits. I got mine from our local home improvement store for 30 cents.

I used it in Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia this summer with adapter plug (NOT converter) and it worked great. Does get hot so you need to be careful. My experience in Italy is that power can be variable at times so you just need to be extra watchful about overheating. But I had no problems in the countries I visited this summer and am pleased with this straightener.

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.

Hi, if you buy it from a supplier in your own country it should be fine, but I would think it would work even with an adaptor plug to take on holiday elsewhere. Good luck.

I use it in the US and everything I have used in the US I've been able to use when I travel in Canada as we have the same set up. Europe it wouldn't work without an adapter, but the US and Canada, yes, it works.

You can use it with a travel adaptor. I am using the US plug in Singapore with the travel adaptor, no issues.

Never used it outside the US, so no opinion on that. Don't think I ever used it for longer than 2 or 3 hours, and in that case it hasn't really built up very much heat, at least nothing comparable to a tube amp.

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.

Yes it works really well you only have to go and buy an adaptor for the overseas plugI have been using for a month and had no problem.Gillian

I just called also. They report that none of the models available in the USA have multiple voltage adaptors. Such a disappointing move for such an international brand and in this modern day. That sexy travel set isn't ready for real travel.

Based on my experience it won't work anywhere. It failed the first time we plugged in a hair dryer in South Africa. It never worked, ever. I complained to the vendor and they asked me to send it back (at my own expense). They never replied or acknowledged receipt of the unit or offered to return my money. I would avoid this unit.

Quite well. Using this in China at the moment. Just be careful, some countries have issues with batteries in your checked baggage. Need to carry this as it it both battery booster and wireless router. Works great in hotel room to wired cable (an issue with I-Pads and Android devices with no wired network cable). Auto-switching transformer 110-240 VAC I believe. I have not yet been able to replicate a wireless network with it. Wired is perfect in countries that have few wireless networks in hotels, etc. Far East has more wired than wireless in hotel rooms. My hotel has wireless in lobby, this gives me one in the room as well... Quite well. Using this in China at the moment.
