Hello, this does not come with an Australian plug, but if you cut off the plug and re-wire it with an Australian plug, it will work fine, as the power supply is 240V 50Hz the same as the UK and the cable colours are to the same conventions, thanks

Hello, thanks for the question. For wattages up to 600, a 3A fuse must be fitted. For wattages over 600, a 5A fuse must be fitted.

Does this come with a plug that will work in the US?

We could change the plug for you if you wish, but the voltage of this unit is 230v which is generally unsuitable for the US. Sorry, and thank you for your enquiry.

How about if I purchased a voltage converter from 230V to 120V? Would it work in the US then?
Example converter I would purchase to use with it:

The listing you sent a link to will convert the plug type but will not convert the voltage from 115V to 230V. You will need something like this - you will need to select the appropiate wattage based on the heater selected. I'm not trying to discourage you from purchasing this heater; for short term use this might be ok but for longer term installation I would recommend buying a 115V heater. https://www.amazon.com/Simran-AC-100-Voltage-Converter-Transformer/dp/B004MPR3WW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1480513904&sr=8-4&keywords=usa+to+uk+step+up

Does this come with a Type B wall plugin cable?

Hello Alex, this heater is pre-wired with a Type G / 3 Pin Plug. You should note that it is designed to run from a 230V AC mains supply. Thank you for your enquiry.

Please can you describe the differences between the Tubular Heaters by Dimplex, Greenbrook and Eterna? Thanks

The Greenbrook and Eterna heaters are only really different by aesthetics because they are the same in the way they operate - they have an internal preset thermostat which cuts out which it gets up to temperature. The Dimplex one has the added benefit of a controllable thermostat on the end of the heater - which is pretty handy. Some people don't like the heater with the controllable thermostat because it can be altered easily; e.g., in a church or chapel, the thermostat may be moved by children.
