Question UK Mains Adapter in the US?

Does anyone know if the UK mains adapter is dual voltage and can be used in the US with a suitable travel adapter?

Thanks

No it's 230v only, so would need more than a travel adaptor.

Are you interested in trading a US one for a UK one?

Talking

I haven't got one yet. I'm going to Florida over Christmas and I'm in two minds whether to buy a DS in the UK at the duty free, or wait until I get to Florida and get one. It's for DD, who will want to use it while in Florida.

At the moment I'm leaning towards getting one in the US, then getting a UK adapter when we get back.
