Can I use these in Italy without a converter?

No! I suggest you take a look at the Alaska Air article at this web address: http://goitaly.about.com/od/travelpackingtips/l/bl_electricity_italy.htm. It would seem that even with a converter, you might get over there, plug in the appliance with a converter and still get smoke or fire. Last time I visited Ireland I invested in travel rollers and a package of adapters/converters. Amazon carries several travel rollers. Probably carries adapters/converters as well. If not try Magellans.com.

No, because this is a 120w Babyliss and you will need a 220 voltage converter.

Regarding your question, you may want to check with the manufacturer of said product before purchasing it. I puchased this particular set for my wife who seems happy with it. Hope that helps!

Yes you can but remember these are only adaptors and not voltage convertors. Make sure to check the voltage/amperage of the equipment against that of the country you are traveling to. Generally Europe is 220 volts and the US is 120 volts. Here's a handy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country.

I used these in Italy with my Kindle, a small electric fan, and flat iron (all these were U.S. type plugs) with NO other converter or anything added - just one of these on the plug and then straight into the wall. Hope this helps.

not to my knowledge. . . . . you would need a converter of somekind . . . . I'm not even sure if these is such a device.

Not using a normal italy outlet, only if they have a germany/french style outlet

You would most likely need a converter plug if the country has different plug in 'prongs'.

You shouldn't need any extra converter aside from what's included in the kit. I didn't have any issues with devices/appliances during my travels. Just make sure your hotel can accommodate the wattage of your device.

Yes, you just need a plug adapter (NOT a voltage changer) for use in Europe.

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.

No, it does not come with a converter. I don't know what European outlets look like, so I cannot tell you.

Hi, i think so. I have an adapter kit that I keep in my suitcase for this reason. But I travel to France and can't remember what the prongs are like in Italy. I think they may be similar. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer.

wife used it in Rome - so should be same in France - did not need a power converter - just the two prong adapter

not safe - buy a converter. also aren't 240v plugs round for European outlets?

No you don't need any convertor it will work in any country 110 to 240 volts and al the adapter are included

As a general the answer would be no. Much of Europe runs on 208 or 220 current, which will fry your electronics without a convertor. That said, there are electronics out there which are designed and capable of running on multiple currents. Some electric shavers, for example.

Yes, but... Italy has about three different socket types, and the works in one or two of them. It's the luc of the draw as to what you get, but - because it's the same across Italy - adapters that switch between the three types are easy to buy anywhere in the country.

Yes, it does work in Italy. Just remember to plug it in first before plugging your electronics into it.
