Check the voltage on your ac adapter's transformer. If it says like 110-240 volts (or something similar) then you are all set. Just think of your transformer as converting the voltage automatically. The only other thing you need to check for is if you need a plug adapter so that it'd fit in the electrical outlet in England. It'd just be a simple adapter.

Not unless you have a converter/adapter. You can buy a converter/adapter at most any store that sells electronics/hardware. Not expensive and a must have if you take ANY plug in device to Europe.

Yes....you just need the appropriate voltage adapter for the country you are traveling to.

Yes, of course it's good for international travel. All you need is a converter from the places you're going to plug the unit into the wall.

I would find out what the electrical specifications are for the country you are going to and then purchase an adapter if one is needed. Should be easy enough.

The adapter worked beautifully for me. The converter is not needed if you look very carefully at the plugs on your appliances. Reading the fine print most new items will convert automatically and all that is needed is the adapter. You will see it will work on either the 110 or 230-240 volt and all that is needed is the adapter. In fat one hotel had the converter/adapter built in and I just plugged it into the wall like at home.

Adapters are not converters (these are adapters). If you are traveling to a country which uses 220-230 volt power, you need to look at your 110 volt electronic device to see whether it can safely run on 220-230. If it can, you need the proper adapter only (adapters vary between countries - be careful to purchase correct adapter). If it cannot (if it only runs on 110), then you need a converter and an adapter. Depending on the cost of the item, you may decide to purchase the item overseas in lieu of carrying a converter.

In my experience, you will need a voltage converter for almost everything. Definitely anything worth more than $15, as it's really easy to ruin electronics from power surges or incorrect voltage. For longer trips abroad, I try to buy small appliances like hairdryers there so that I don't have to worry about it.

This is a dual voltage flat iron, which means you don't need a converter when you travel to countries like EU whose electrical currents are 220v.You therefore don't need a converter because this flat iron automatically coverts voltage from 110 to 220v (EU voltage). You need a two prong adapter plug that you can buy at any airport.

I traveled to Israel and used this product without a converter...it worked just fine for me at the two hotels (Jerusalem and Nazareth) where I stayed.

This model is not dual voltage, that means you will need an additional voltage converter in order to make it work in alternate voltage situations. Here's what Conair says regarding this on their website: If your appliance is not dual voltage and is not a curling iron, you will need a voltage converter and possibly an adapter to fit the foreign electric wall outlet. Small converters to be used for travel are usually available from travel catalogs and stores as well as in some airport shops. Conair also carries a travel accessories line which you may be interested in buying. You may want to check with your hotel abroad to see if they provide any amenities such as hairdryers, in your room.

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

It worked great with computers and cell phones but they are good ol' 115 USA standard. I would suggest a converter like you would take to travel with.

No, you don't need a converter since this is a converter. You should check that this works wherever it is you're going. I bought this for a trip to Israel.

I have not used it at all because it is unfortunately not what I thought it is. I needed a converter, to use electronics from Europe in the US. I'm sorry that I can't help you.

No it is 120 only. The simple solution is to purchase a converter that is readily available so all of your personal appliances can easily be used with 220 when you travel.

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.
