    Further to this, should you have a fire as a result of using one of those (which by the way, are not generally certified compliant with Australian Standards, I've certainly never seen a legitimate AS marking on a travel adapter purchased overseas, not even sure if I've seen one on a locally purchased unit) and your insurance company figures that out they are within their rights to refuse to pay you out because the device with was responsible was not compliant with Australian requirements and hence should not have been in use.

    Considering that you should be able to get the plug replaced for less than $50 I would suggest that that is a good investment...
    After nearly 8 months of using it I have encountered zero problems with the machine and the travel adapter.
