Will this iron work in New Zealand??? Do I need an adapter plug?

I'm not sure what the voltage is in New Zealand, but in Kuwait - it's 220. I had to buy an adapter to make it work. Hope that helps!

Yes, we used it in Australia and all over Europe. Yes, you do need an adapter plug. The prongs of the outlets are quite different. We found you often have to hold the curling iron upright ( in a vertical position) and hold the "on" button for a few seconds, but it does work. I have purchased two of these for other travel friends.

This iron has a polarized plug ( one blade is larger than other) for 120v and European plug for 220v. As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. Info from page 2 of manual

Debbie, I just read the instructions: This iron works with 110-220v. You'd have to have a converter, I believe. I hope you can use it because I'm getting really good results. The more I use it, the easier and more creative I get!

The iron works on 110 W and 220 W and there is 5-6 different adaptor plugs. It works amazing !

I do but I live in an area with very 'hard' water, ie. full of minerals which I would expect to plug up the iron. If you live where there is soft water, you may be okay. If you already bought one, maybe it's in the directions.

Yes this flat iron can be used in America. Off top of my head I don't know the voltage so I can't verify 220V stated by someone else. But I live in America and it definitely plugs right into our normal outlets. No adapter required.

I am using one in New Zealand (also 230V), with an adaptor plug, but you have to be careful that the US appliances you plug into it can run on 230V, or else you need to use a transformer as well.

I have the original instructions. Clearly says to only 120v or 127v and that any other voltage could damage the iron and void the guarantee. You can buy a converter set. Probably available at Radio Shack or any electronics store.Hope this helps.

I use 220, but as stated in my review, the mini iron didn't work well. Don't think it was because of the voltage. Perhaps I just got a lemon, and hope it works better for you. Good thing about Amazon, if it doesn't, you can return it. I ended up getting the Clover iron with the holder and all the accessories. It works really well, but has its drawbacks, too, mainly in awkwardness. It's extremely hot, and you'll have to be really careful with it, even with the holder. It is an option if the Dritz doesn't work for you, the Clover is an option. Hope this helps.

Nothing I see is stated about that. It does state, "universal voltage for worldwide use." It does specifically say, that you are NOT TO USE THIS WITH ANY VOLTAGE CONVERTER! The last answer is wrong for this flat iron. Possibly It converts automatically. Here is a telephone number I found on the brochure where you may get some better answers. Good luck. 1 770-552-8000 (they are located in Atlanta Georgia.)

The iron is universal voltage so you will not need a converter. HOWEVER, You will need an adaptor plug for India.

If your iron will accept either 110 or 220v this adapter does not need an additional voltage converter.

This iron has a 110V USA plug. However, we sell internationally so 240V irons are available on special requests in advance. Thank you for your interest.

It seems to be the right configuration for New Zealand, but I'd recommend you check with your New Zealand guidebook. Also check to see whether you need a converter (from 230 to 110) as well as an adapter.

This is a plug adapter, not a transformer. If your flat iron can work on 220 Volts - that's all you need, otherwise you need a transformer. I myself had to take a transformer with me for the hairdryer. But this plug adapter was enough for the computers and cell phone chargers.

I used this iron in Tallinn, Estonia with an outlet converter and it worked perfectly.

I can't tell you. I took mine to the UK and it broke right away. So........ not a good purchase for me. Perhaps you will have better luck. Keep in mind that although you wont need a "converter" you will need an adapter plug that will allow you to plug in your flat iron.
