I'm looking to travel to the Philippines and need a converter to use my hair straightener - will this product suffice?

Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines? If the outlet is like Europe's (recessed) you will need an additional adapter - the pins on the back if the converter are too short (this is actually a safety consideration. If your hair straightener is rated over 1600 watts or if you plan to have it plugged in for over 30 min. I'd recommend NOT using this device. Check power specs on the straightener - some might be able to run 120-240 volts 50-60 Hz. Might have a switch on the device. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the straightener. Sorry I gave you more questions than answers but that's the best I can do in this case. Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines?

yes - if you don't believe me read all the reviews before posting a question

It should work, though this is a very low quality converter and might break. They are a hit and miss.

I was worried about the very same thing, but I used the straightener in Europe (Ireland, England, France, Belgium, Denmark) and had no problems. Just used an adapter to plug it in.

Yes, it should work very well with a straightener. Just plug the straightener into the adapter and the adapter into the wall outlet.

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

Yes, I just got back from Europe (and used this straightener) where you only need the plug adapters (available in corner shops in all larger towns in Europe, in case you didn't bring the correct one).

Yes it would. I bought it to use for my hair straighter. You may have to buy an adapter for the plug in India. It come with a European plug.

It should as far as I know but remember this is an adapter not a convertor. Whatever you are plugging into this has to be able to take 240 volts. Most electronic devices do take both 120 & 240. My wife bought a curling iron for our trip that took both. If your equipment only takes 120, it will be fried.

This adapter will work in Spain but along with this, she will also need a 300 watt step down transformer if her hair straightner is only 110V meant for american voltage.

This item is an ADAPTOR not a converter. It adapts the pins of electrical outlets to match different configurations. A voltage CONVERTER adapts the voltage. If your device (look hard) says the voltage is 110-240 then you only need an adapter and not a converter. In my experience, most newer devices from computers and cell phones to curling irons are "dual voltage" as stated above.

I used this product,in the Caribbean without any problems. Im not sure what the voltage is since I dont have the box any more but you would deff love the way your hair would look.

Not this model, no. Wahl does make an international model but it is hard to find. However, I simply use a 300W voltage converter in the Philippines and it works well. It IS a great hair clipper set.

a plug converter is all you need and make sure you have adjusted the setting on the actual hair dryer for the voltage that is being used. Works wonderfully :)

no. you'll need an adaptor but blowdryers in general are too strong for the adaptors and they usually burn out. I'm a hairstylist that has worked overseas often. If it's important for you to use a blowdryer overseas, it's best to buy one over there.

I am not sure....I haven't used it yet. I am keeping it as a spare. However, I am using another similar product and travel overseas often. It adapts great with one of the country's plug-in adapters. This adapter is NOT a converter. Not sure if this helps you or not?

I'm actually going to Europe next week and planning on bringing my flat iron, but I'm pretty sure it will work if you get a converter

Yes. I used my hot hair straightener all over Europe with this. No problems.

I believe you can use this anywhere. It works great for hair dryer, curling iron, phone and iPad. As for electricity in Philippines, I would go on line to see if you need an adaptor. If you do, then one adaptor will work for the whole thing. I own a universal adaptor that works anywhere in the world.
