Just realised that I don't know what the voltage is at the plug. Although a tip I have is to carry a small power adaptor £12 ish and plug adaptor. Don't fancy doing it for all my appliances though. When I visited some holiday home especially in Europe the owners had changed all the plug sockets to 3 pin which was a real help.

Here's some basic information, and if you use the Search button on the blue bar above, a lot of old threads will come up about taking electrical equipment to NZ from the UK. (It's not the same for people from the US.)
Brilliant news. it will probably be a case of converting the actual plug socket facias to keep it looking smart.
Or of course the more logical way of changing the plugs which is cheaper, doesn't result in using non approved electical fittings in the house, and won't of course need changing back before you sell the house.Quote:
