1 Star Not for 220-240V use
The product description lists: “Universal voltage input lets you take your Wii anywhere in the world without a voltage converter” but this is NOT TRUE. I live in a 220V country and had hoped to use my US-purchased Wii here.

Even the seller wrote the following to me in an email:

“The Wii Ac Adapter that you have ordered from us will not work in a 240V

country. You will need to purchase a ‘transformer’ adapter in order to be

able to use this adapter in a 240 Volatage country.”

5 Stars Wii Adapter
Wii AC Adapter is great because it does 110-240V 50-60 Hz, so if you need to take your Wii around the world, all you need is an adapter for the plug and it will work anywhere. Only problem is if you have a zoned Wii then you need to get a chip that gets rid of the zoning.

1 Star Failure
Didn’t work as advertised. Wii cuts out randomly several moments into gameplay, can’t spin up a disc properly. I took my wii back to the US and it worked perfectly. Clearly the power adapter isn’t doing the job over here.

5 Stars Perfect for expat’s/GIs
This inexpensive adaptor allows you to run your Nintendo WII on any world-wide voltage. It does not overheat. Excellent buy!

5 Stars works just fine
This item works just fine on 220V outside the USA. Its smaller and lighter than the original power supply, and MUCH better than using a 220-120 stepdown transformer.

5 Stars Worked like a charm
This was the cheapest of the selection on amazon at the time for me with shipping and handling.

It has worked like a charm. I keep this one with my living room TV, and I keep my old one in my bedroom. This allows me to simply bring the Wii downstairs without having to carry any of the cords, or unplug any. If you want to do this, you will need extra A/V cords and an extra sensor bar; both can be bought cheap here on amazon.
