Electricity Plugs Explained

At Australian Inflatable Decorations, we understand how incredibly difficult it can be to find the latest inflatables with Australian plugs. While manufacturers are gradually starting to include AU plugs in their inflatable product ranges, not all inflatables come equipped with them just yet.

In the meantime, a simple, safe, and affordable conversion plug is the best solution. Below, you'll find information on exactly which conversion plug you need, along with a link to our Accessories section where you can buy them for cost price.

TIP for Australians: If the inflatable you wish to purchase does not have an AU plug option we recommend selecting the UK Plug type. The UK plug has 3 large connection points that hold much tighter than the 2 prong EU and US plugs.
