5.0 out of 5 stars Works Internationally (220/240V), October 31, 2008

Yes, despite what most people are saying, the entire "Outlets to Go" line of power strips WILL work internationally with a 220/240V connection. I found several people who had emailed Monster on the subject and I myself did the same. Remember that the electronic device you connect to it needs to be able to handle the voltage as well. The USB port has a converter built into it already to convert down to 5V DC, so it will work overseas as well. [....]

5.0 out of 5 stars very handy!, January 28, 2010

If you bring gadgets with you when you travel, this is incredibly handy. It's fairly compact and very easy to pack - and very useful in hotels where you often don't have enough outlets for your laptop, cell phone charger, and other gadgets. Since it's on a cord, it helps when the hotel wall outlet is in an awkward place, like behind the night stand next to the bed. Since so many phones and other gadgets nowadays can charge from a USB port, you are no longer a slave to $30 proprietary chargers. I use mine at home, as well, and will probably get a second one.

I also bought a similar product made by Belkin, which has 2 USB outlets (the Monster only has one). But the Belkin's USB outlets put out less power and people have had trouble when they try to charge two USB devices at the same time. Plus, the Belkin unit is larger and heavier than you'd think, so it's slightly less travel-friendly. And it plugs directly into the wall rather than being on a short cord, which isn't as helpful when your hotel room's outlet is in an inconvenient place.

Another related item you might consider is the Scosche Dual USB Car Charger, a jack that goes into your car's cigarette lighter outlet and has TWO usb ports for simultaneously charging two devices. Scosche Dual USB Car Charger

I'm a big fan of the inclusion of usb on power strips. I also have the belkin travel power block that has 3 plugs and 2 usbs. Thats great for when I'm traveling out of town, but I've been looking for something that will easily fit in my everyday back pack that I could bring around to coffee shops and around and about. I got this today and I'm using it now, it has a nice illuminated primary plug and a well located usb port, it all stores up so nice as well. I haven't used it for usb charging yet, but I doubt I'll have any issues.

Updated, I'm using the usb right now to charge my ipod, while I'm powering my laptop and its working exceptionally well. I'm really glad I picked this up.
