Is the plug configuration a 3 pin flat plug that would be compatible with electric sockets in Australia? what is the plug configuration?

It is a standard( two parallel flat spade pins and one round pin above the center of the spade pins) and it comes with a hard plastic routing guide to prevent accidental cutting by the operator.

not sure if it will work but, the thing is, if you are in Australia, the 2-pin plug that goes into the power point, if it has a hole in the pins and no black mark then it is not recommended for use in Australia, it is illegal.

It has a three prong 110V end. I'm not sure you have 110V in Australia, but if you do, you should be good. Its a great little Vacuum.

its a 115V 60Hz 15W with an US 3 prong plug. Australia has a different plug and 230V 50Hz. Ans., NO even with a plug adapter, it would burn out.

Hey, I'm an Australian customer, I had to buy an adaptor for the power plug plug to have it operate, but it runs absolutely fine on AC240v 50hz, the stock product has an American plug that supports 110v, the plug in transformer (power supply is, 100-240v, 2A, 50-60hz) so it is compatable with Australian specs, Great product though :D

I'm actually in Singapore, so my plug is different. Australia uses the "canted" plug such as there: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-Universal-Australia-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00BSD8U8W .. but the idea is the same. .. You might just get some of these, for everything else that's "US", that can just plug in with a straight adapter. Many small chargers can accept the higher Australian voltages with no problem. This unit does comes with an adapter that has two round pins. Use this adapter WITH the Australian adapter! One little "gotcha" that I found, is that using the adapter with the three prongs will short out the unit and blow the fuse! By using the two pin adapter in the setup, you effectively bypass the third (ground) plug, and you're good to go! Modern US (flat screen) computer monitors and flat screen TVs work great with this unit. I have seen nothing the suggests that there is any after effect of the difference between the US "60hz" and the rest of the world's "50 hz". You should have no problems! Enjoy!

It appears that the adaptor is the correct type. Just make sure it fits an Australian type plug. Australian/Chinese/Argentine sockets generally supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you're plugging in an appliance that was built for 220-240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need. If your appliance only accepts 110V then you will need a converter. But adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 220-240 volts the socket is supplying. North American sockets supply electricity at between 110 and 120 volts, far lower than in most of the rest of the world. Consequently, North American appliances are generally built for 110-120 volts. But that doesn't mean that your specific appliance isn't already compatible with the higher voltage -- it may very well be.

Hi. It doesn't work with Australian power. You would need a converter. Thanks!

Switchable voltage: 115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz (IEC Plug) computer type cord/plug. You will need an adapter to IEC to Australian socket. No voltage converter needed.

It will accept plug type from USA, Canada, China, Australia, Japan, Nepal, Hong Kong and every other country you can think of EXCEPT the plug from S. Africa. The Universal input socket is not designed to accept plug from S. Africa. However, this adapter is designed to plug in to S. African Type M socket. Simple!

I'm not sure what you're asking but if you're asking about the sockets, then they'll accept all the plug types: US, European round and even UK square.

You probably need to use a US to AUS conversion plug unless you can find one made for the AUS market.

Hi Vanessa,Just bought from Amazon 2 more Skross3 adaptors and they definately take the 3-prong Aussie inputs.I also just checked with the Aussie 3-prong double adaptor.All fine Regards,Barbara

google helps sometimes... see: http://www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/guides-and-charts/guide-to-worldwide-plugs-and-sockets-patterns-power-mains-single-phase/ The type of power cord there is "C" according to http://www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/national-power-mains/australia-new-zealand/ Regards, good luck, safe journey and take care...

It has an American/Canadian style plug. If Australia uses the British or European style plugs then the answer is no, you will need an adapter. Unless it is available in different plug styles.

I am not sure. In 2014 South Africa plans to change their plugs to make them safer. Here is a link to a news article: http://www.techcentral.co.za/sa-to-get-new-electrical-sockets-plugs/46026/

The unit is compatible with Australia's 230V 50Hz current. You'd need an adapter plug like Amazon's Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type I for Australia, China, New Zealand and more - High Quality - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant in order to plug the unit into an Australian outlet.
