240V UK Plug to 230VUS Plug

A standard US 3 pin (120V) plug will fit that "universal" outlet so you could make an adaptor easily (do stick labels on it).

These inverters generally produce a floating output (no N-E bond) so, if the 230V appliance doesn't need a neutral and doesn't mind 50Hz then you're good to go.

If you need 115-0-115 for your appliance, you'll need an autotransformer.
 
Disregarding the V and frequency issues that socket will take both UK and US plugs plus others such as EU. Its a common way the Chinese have so that they can sell the same equipment to both sides of the Atlantic.

Takes Aussie and Italian and and and plugs too, pretty well any plug in the known universe :)

Plugging one of our beefy UK plugs in does tend to distort the monkey-metal contacts so afterwards nothing else works :(

Thanks. I was looking at all the 250V plugs on the internet last night and I think you've nailed it. I should be able to use the plug directly into the unit. I'm taking it over to Home Depot this afternoon and going to try it to make sure they fit.

Good catch, I didn't even look at the picture that well.
Those things are a little scary.

Good luck finding the right plug at Home Despot, their selection of foreign plugs is pretty nill.
