Update, May 2024: We just did a complete write-up about international plug adapters and voltage converters with a bit more detail and a few additional options. Feel free to check it out at www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/
Thanks for your tips! Question: You said that if you have an appliance that doesn't accept the full range of 100V to 240V, you'll need a voltage converter. I have a hair curling iron that lists a range of 110-240V, with 50/60Hz. Do I still need a voltage converter because it lists 110V instead of 100V? Just thought I'd double check!
Hi! I am travelling to Japan and I have a hair straightener that has a 110-240 voltage and 50/60 Hz power. Do I still need an adapter or converter? Thank you!
I will get hubby to read this article as he is technically savvy. Last year I went to Cuba with a machine REQUIRED for my health and a new converter from CTC. It did not work and I almost had to come home. An employee with as asthmatic child lent me some equipment. I do NOT want this to happen again.
That adapter does not support grounding. Also the europlug it has is rated only for 2.5 A. That is what they make when the makers do not know or do not care about electric safety. Those adapters that you had a bagful are absolute death traps. Never use anything like that.
@@sking3225 If it is NOT a dual-voltage device, you will need a voltage converter such as the ALLWEI device. Also be careful to make sure that your steamer does not draw more than the ALLWEI's power limit of 230 watts (you can also compute the power draw by multiplying voltage in volts by current in amps).
I’m sorry I’m still confused and worried too I have a very similar outlet adapter just like the black one in your video, and I’m going to use it in the Philippines but I’m worried it might fry my iPhone 14 and go pro
@@eythora_24 If you're plugging those things into the USB ports, you're fine! Here's more info: www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/
@@yNwa0fLd Shouldn't be an issue to use a converter all the time, especially if the device is dual voltage! More info: www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/

@@turtleduckcrossing463 Good question. You're safe!
@@TripOfALifestyle Great! Thanks so much for your response!
Super helpful!!!
Good to hear! 🙂

That's a dual voltage device, so you will NOT need a voltage converter. You just need an adapter to make the plug fit.

I always use fast charger for my phone here in tbe UK. I am going to paris in a couple of weeks I still want to be able to fast charge my phone.
@@zombeat7376 Any of the adapters mentioned in the video will probably work perfectly with your phone charger.

Thanks for your video! Would you recommend the ALLWEI SGR-HS260B Voltage Converter for using a travel steamer in Europe?

@@TripOfALifestyle Thank you for your quick reply!! It’s a little intimidating 😅! I’m sure hubby will figure it out for me!!

Thanks for this video ✅
Would u say the Epicka is good for Turkey 🇹🇷?
@@janetgarcia5637 Yes, it should work in Turkey! Check the links in the video description for more information.
Thanks! It was helpful
@@nikolas97ns Glad to hear that! You're welcome. Don't forget to subscribe. 😉
Is it okay to use this with big electronic like a tv or consoles like a xbox or ps5, is it safe to use it a lot ?
@@yNwa0fLd Shouldn't be an issue to use a converter all the time, especially if the device is dual voltage!

But does it work when plugged in?
@@jiml5837 Yes.
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊
This was not helpful. I just need a simple, American made US to China adapter.
