I am going to Paris, I have both converter and adapters. Do I need the converter? What does the unit weigh, are they heavy adding weight to luggage

I think you do need a adapter, it doesn't weight a lot maybe 1lbs and it is not that heavy

You need to think about two things when you travel. A converter and an adapter. This step down is a converter that is no longer necessary as it steps down your razor, and small digital items like your camera, your cell phone, your iPad. We found that all of these small items manufactured in the last 4 years have a built in converter. Read the plug on your travel items. It will tell you if it has a built in converter. Next is the adapter. This inexpensive piece connects to your electronics to match the holes in Brazil's wall receptacles. I would suggest this from Amazon: Adapter Plug Brazil A, B and GUZ. Hair Care products are a whole different animal. I suggest purchasing in Brazil if necessary. Hope this helps you.

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.

It depends where you are going. You can get an adaptor kit that contains converters for different countries. It is lightweight, but it is a full-size hair dryer. Brookstone used to have a travel dryer.

First of all this is not a Travel Adapter. If you are looking for a travel adapter try looking for one of those instead. This is a "Universal" AC adapter that you can adjust to work with just about any device that needs an AC adapter. It comes with all the tips you might need and has the ability to change polarity and voltage to meet your requirements. If you want a travel adapter to use around the world look for the right item instead of being sanctimonious about products that were not intended for your application.

I took two of these to the Europe. I do not remember if a travel power converter was necessary, what is no big problem. I do not recommend this frame for another reason - it has to be plugged all the time. If you unplug it, all of your set-up (time, date) is gone, there is no backup battery in it.

Yes, I took this Travel Smart by Conair ceramic straightener to Italy and used a adaptor plug. Worked beautifully. It is dual voltage. No need for converter when using this device. If you have any doubts that we are talking about the same appliance, I would email Travelsmith to be safe.

I don't think the converters will make a difference. This inflates fast & super easy & deflates easy with a little more pressure/squeezing it if you want it deflated faster. Fold it in thirds lengthwise & the roll it up TOWARDS the air vent outlet & it will fit easily in the bag it comes with

Mr / Mrs Baker - The adapter that comes with the MOVE is 110/240. All you would need is a device similar to this: UK PLUG ADAPTER VP 20 - CONVERTS GROUNDED USA, EURO AND AUSTRALIAN PLUG TO GROUNDED UK This particular one might not work because the MOVE plug is not grounded. Try searching on Amazon for a Euro Plug / European Adapter etc. I'm sure a device like this would come in handy for other electronics as well.

When I travel, I always carry a "step-up" converter just in case as most hotels these days have both outlets.I don't wish to speak for the manufacturer. Ask them to be sure.

If going from the US to Europe, you will need an adaptor, but it works great with a cheap ($2) adaptor. I've used it in Spain a lot, and plan to use it again this summer.

My recommendation would be to buy a different one altogether. I returned it due to poor battery memory. But you will need an adapter for anything you take to europe.

I checked this out with a technical expert to make sure; it is not a convertor because it's a grounded outlet and it cannot be used in Japan because they use different plugs. Hope this helps...

No I did not. I have purchased several different models over the years and have never needed an adapter, unless I go to Europe.

I traveled to Israel and used this product without a converter...it worked just fine for me at the two hotels (Jerusalem and Nazareth) where I stayed.

Adapters are not converters (these are adapters). If you are traveling to a country which uses 220-230 volt power, you need to look at your 110 volt electronic device to see whether it can safely run on 220-230. If it can, you need the proper adapter only (adapters vary between countries - be careful to purchase correct adapter). If it cannot (if it only runs on 110), then you need a converter and an adapter. Depending on the cost of the item, you may decide to purchase the item overseas in lieu of carrying a converter.

This device is not a converter. It does not convert one voltage to another. If it's 220 in, it's 220 out. If it's 110 in, it's 110 out. Most of your electronics can handle either voltage. You just need a plug adapter for the various countries. However, what this is great for is that you often only have one outlet in your hotel room, and several devices to charge (computers, tablets, phone, cameras, etc.). You can plug this in your one outlet and charge many devices at once, but they all have to be able to handle the voltage of the host country.
