Q: if I travel to Buenos Aires (220V) can I use my 110V devices WITHOUT using a voltage converter- Cpap machine, laptop etc...

computers, digital computer chargers and external drives are made to use either 220 or 110. You must use an electrical adapter to accomodate plugs however.

of course NOT, and its very dangerous that might blow up your equipment...............

Most, not all modern chargers and power supplies are designed to run on 120-240 volts. It is important you check the power specs on the device, usually printed near the cord or prongs that go to the wall. This device merely acts as a power strip so you don't need as many plug or prong adapters. You will still need a plug or prong adapter for this device to the wall outlet of the place you are going.

This is NOT a voltage converter. It is simply a power strip that accommodates a variety of size/shape plugs (US, Europe, UK, etc) and voltage ranges (100-250V). Whatever voltage you plug the strip into is the voltage that you will get at each of the outlets on the strip.

In theory it can be used without a voltage converter, but we have not tried it yet. My daughter is traveling to the British Isles this summer. It has a US plug, so you will need an adapter end to fit the European outlet.

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.

I'm not an electrician, but I have lived in Europe and all our 110v appliances (hair dryer, vacuum cleaner etc) worked on 220v with a voltage converter.

No. 110vac only. You might check to see the the manufacturer has another model for 220.

I believe it is only 110 volt so you will have to get a power converter when you travel.

Hi Xiang,First of all, I do not know much about electronics, but would like to answer what I know.The voltage of my machine is 120v which is allowed to use in my country. You need to use an AC adapter to convert the voltage if it is not allowed but most important is to consult a licensed electrician.

I used it in the US, England, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands with only an adapter. No converter needed.

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.

no, you can´t used the divice directly into 220v, but with a small voltage transformer works really well.

here in Colombia operates at 120v, I do not think it advisable to use a transformer

Yes you can. I recently took my Philips electric tooth brush to Israel which uses 220v and has the same charger as this product. You can see on the charger itself it is printed 100-230v approx.

Assuming your outlets are a standard type, an adapter is needed. Plugging into 220V without an adapter will instantly burn it up. Example see: Simran SMF-200 Deluxe 200 Watts Step Down Voltage Converter for International Travel to 220V Countries Ideal for Laptops, Cameras, Phones, iPads etc

No, however, even though it is equipped with AC110 cord and plug, a 110V to 220V converter would work just fine and I would not be hesitant at all to use a converter on it. That's just my opinion though.I go into 220V areas and power my 110V stuff all the time with a converter. This includes computers.I love this thing!!Tom

I don't believe so. You will need a transformer to convert 220v to 110v to use this one.

110V only cannot be used in Europe. Of course there is an adapter that you can buy to convert the voltage to 220V.

As far as the voltage that the machine can handle, I believe it's only 110V and it only has a two pronged plug. However, seeing that you're in China (I believe they use 220v for outlets,) you can get a transformer and run it off that. Worse case scenario, it also runs on D batteries!
