This is just a plug adapter. Will NOT convert voltage. We only used for a short vacation but if you will be staying longer than a few days, you should buy a converter. Keep in mind that most modern cell phone and laptop chargers have built in transformers.
It should work on your laptop as long as your charger indicates that it is dual voltage. It is not a power converter, so it probably will not work with your US hairdryer.
I am traveling from the US with items I purchased in the US items including a cell phone charger and MAC computer and camera battery charger to Australia. will this unit adapt power from Australia and also transform the current so that US items are not damaged. I understand that perhaps a regular adapter only will damage my items and I will need a transformer in the unit as well. Will this unit work and be safe?
If the power supply with the device doesn't already support a range of voltages then you do need a converter from 220 - 110. Typically LAPTOP power supplies are always multi voltage. Others can be charged via the USB port on a laptop.
No this will not work for your needs. There is no transformer in this at all, only the adapters that fit on the end of the power cord. You will need a separate transformer if your devices aren't auto switching.
This device does not convert voltage or wattage it is just an adapter for the outlet so that an outlet say in the UK will work with a plug from the US.
Hello, I went to targus website and verified the user manual for the adapter APK01US amd it says "This is a non-grounded adapter. Do not use with grounded devices".
It depends on the plug you need to insert it into as you are traveling in other parts of the world. I used this with great success as I traveled. Most had two prongs but there was a rare one that had three prongs. The plugs were different from the ones you find in buildings in the US.
