Keep in mind that these adapters do not change the voltage! You need a converter for that (if you really need to change the voltage). The U.S. uses 120V at 60Hz where Australia and New Zealand use 240V at 50Hz.

Before plugging devices into this, you need to make sure that they can withstand 240V. If not, you may damage the device if you use this. You can easily check by reading the fine print on the device, the plug, or the power transformer that goes with the device. Worst case, you should be able to find this information in the manual. Devices will specify an "Input" range. For this to work, the range needs to extend up to 240V. For example, most compatible devices will say: Input 110V-240V, 50Hz-60Hz.

If the input voltage does not go up to 240V, then you need to buy a converter that will convert 240V down to 120V. Search for "travel converter" on Amazon.

Don't let this scare you. Just make sure you do your homework in advance. You will be pleasantly surprised that most devices support the higher input voltage since they are made to be sold internationally and fit with different plugs. You don't need to buy a large converter and carry it around if you don't need it.

This grounded adapter will work for 2 prong or 3 prong devices. You can alternatively buy an adapter without a ground, but it will only work for 2 prong devices.

We bought the grounded and regular version of this adapter for a trip to New Zealand and Australia.

My wife and I recently visited Australia and used this adapter extensively for hair dryer, curling iron and cell phone charger. No problems encountered whatsoever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three prongs better than two, February 8, 2007

I pruchased both this item and the two prong version. I only used the three version as all outlets in Australia are grounded. Good and sturdy, it performed well. My only complaint is that the female end is recessed which makes it difficult if you have a cube tap or transformer to plug in - one then has to use an extender with the adapater.
