But if you have a dual voltage appliance from the United States (I have a travel dual voltage flat iron), will this adapter plug work w/out converter?

When you say that you have a "dual voltage appliance," do you mean that the appliance will run on both 110V and 220V current? If so, then this adapter should work as the converter is built into the appliance itself.

yes, this plug is just to adapt the plug. Be sure to switch the 120 to 220 when in other country. If you are using something that is not dual voltage you will need a converter also.

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

I used it to charge iPhone, iPad and camera battery, all without converter. My son used it to run laptop, and it worked. So I guess the short answer is yes. The weight if the cord may pull it out of the socket, nut you should be able to work that out.

Yes if you have a dual voltage appliance all you need is a way to access the electricity and this adapter will allow you to plug it into the wall.

Yes! these are just for adapting the outlet, but check that whatever device you're using says 110V-220V. my phone, razor, apple tv all work fine without a converter.

Yes it will. I just came back from Italy and used this with a dual voltage Flat Iron I purchased on Amazon. It worked great. No convertor needed.

No, it is not a converter...just an adapter!.....I took a flat iron and a hair dryer that had both 120 and 220 voltage...the adapter worked just fine in Israel.

it is an American plug. so, if you have a converter plug attachment, I would imagine it would work internationally.

I took it to Munich and used it with a standard travel adapter. It did not work. The adapter heated up, the iron di and the whole thing was unsuccessful. I had to buy a hot iron locally. Perhaps there is a different kind of adapter that does work, but don't count on using it with a a basic adapter that can't accommodate the amount of power this device draws.

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.

Yes, it will work. All you need to do is to select the input voltage to 220V at the back of the device. Then plug your appliance into the 110V output at the front of the device. Hope it helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

it is for that voltage in ireland/scotland, but it will not work with 110 volt appliances from the USA. You either need to buy a converter that will change the voltage (I think they are pretty expensive) or you need to buy appliances that are dual voltage. I went to dublin in January, and I was able to get a dual voltage hair dryer from Walmart for like $20. My cell phone charger was fine, but just make sure it says both voltages or else it can melt your appliances!

I double checked it. This adapter has dual voltage 100-240 volts. Thank you.

No AB, this is only an adaptor to be able to convert your appliance plug to fit in the outlets of other country's. what you need to convert the 220 volt down to 110 volts is a travel voltage converter. this is a transformer that changes 220volts to 110 volts. I hope this helps. Later Steve

As long as the adapter will fit a 3-prong U.S. plug, this transformer works anywhere. I had one in Vienna, Austria and now using one in Kazakhstan. Great product that really makes a difference to expats!

It should enable you to connect the coffee maker to the us type connection but be sure that the machine is designed to operate on 110 volts. The adaptor in question is not a voltage converter. It is simply a plug adaptor.

I am sure it will work there but remember that this is a simple adapter, NOT a converter. Whatever you plug in must be able to accept the current and amperage of the supply. If you plug a 110 appliance into a 220 outlet, you will fry it.

This product is not a voltage converter - it is simply a power distribution strip. The plug is designed to directly fit a 220 V receptacle, and will distribute 220 VAC to all of the outlets on the strip. It does adapt to several plug styles, but the device would need to be dual voltage capable.

Yes. The adapter is made to work with 110v or 220v. However, the plug is made to fit an American outlet, so if you are not using it in the U.S., you may need to buy an adapter to make it fit into another country's outlets.

The adapter itself can handle 120-240VAC but it the actual plug has US style prongs. So you would need something to convert the US style prongs to whatever country you want.

Yes it will -BUT you'll need to stop by a Radio Shack and purchase a 110V (used in US) to 220V (Europe) converter. The converter should be rated at AT LEAST 15-20 watts. (General rule: Add at least 20% to the appliance's wattage usage. If the appliances is a motor-driven device, there will probable be a quick, larger power draw by the appliance as its motor starts, so adding 50% to the converter's max output would not be a bad idea.) Because the ANDIS draws ony 10 watts, a 15 watt converter should be fine for the device. Also: Make sure the countries you are visiting have the same plug configuration as your adapter. Try googling "electrical plug configurations for european countries," print the page and ask the staff where you purchase the converter to provide you with adapters that are appropriate for the countries you are visiting. Total cost for the electrical and plug configuration adapters should not cost over $30. If if you're on a budget and if RS wants more than that - and if you have time before your trip, shop elsewhere with the information you've gotten from Radio Shack.

If the flat iron or hair dryer have tags or instruction manuals on them or for them with the information it will tell you what the voltage can be, if it states 110 (120) to 220 (240) then you can use them BUT if it does not state that or if there is no tags or instructions then do not plug them in-examples are laptops-mine is on the adapter clearly stating the input can be 110 to 240 and I have used them for my laptop, my phone charger has not information on it so I will not plug it into that socket adapter
