What type of converter will allow it to work in the UK? (does it have to affect frequency)

No frequency isn't an issue. Just need one that converts 120 into 240. There are plenty around for cheap that will do the job.

Depends, if you are buying it from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk is the biggest clue. Only stuff bought from .co.uk will be 240v. You can get inverters though that let you step up or step down the power, but they can get pricey. Good luck:)

yes you would. I live in the Netherlands and I'm using it with a converter as well.

the only thing you have to keep in mind is that the converter requires a power source. If you have a USB you can plug it into, that will work. Otherwise, the power adapter is not included and you'll have to buy one that plugs into a standard outlet and had a USB plug that you can plug the USB cable provided with the converter. It would be nice if they included that with the converter, but they don't, so it will be one more piece you need to buy, but Amazon or your local Radio Shack should be able to help.

Hi,NO it will not work in UK as is because it is on 110 v , if you have an adapter then it will.

No it will not, I love mine, but I am using it with a converter because it is only set up for European electricity.

David, if your read the information on the web site about this unit, it tells you "exactly" what the unit can and will handle.I used mine in the U.K. The voltage will not be a problem, but the wattage may be, and as I don't have that information as I discarded mine( the information pamphlet) when we came back here.Read yours, or the sales info, and make your decision from there, as the description they give is excellent.

I would use a converter, but not sure. It may depend on which country you go to.

Yes, this converter will work for you. Just make sure wherever you mount this, that you don't ground it out. Mount it on plastic or something non conductive.

No. It will work in Paris and other european places that use a type C plug. For the UK you need a type G plug or converter.

You would most likely need a converter plug if the country has different plug in 'prongs'.

I believe you have to have the appropriate converter for the voltage, and then it should work fine

I am not sure. It doesn't work for me. But I am not sure whether I got a broken converter or the converter doesn't work in US. you can have a try.

Unless it was made for UK power, you would need to purchase a Power Converter for there...

You need a type C adapter for Spain and type G for London and the UK. Remember that these are only adapters to change the plug and they will not alter the voltage or frequency of the current. Make sure your device is rated for 220 or 240 volts and 50Hz before plugging it in. If your device isn't rated for the higher voltage, be sure to purchase a power converter.

Will only work with a converter or if you have the larger transformer for your whole home or residence. However, as with all products not designed specifically for foreign countries it will cycle slower maybe which might lead to a shorter lifetime of use. Will work in most military base housing probably with a converter and transformer in the UK.

It's been a few years since we used it; I don't recall any difficulties. We went in Ireland, and purchased the converter recommended for that country. The three previous answers sound more knowledgeable than mine.
