This is one of the things that people can easily overlook. Anytime someone tells me they're traveling internationally for the first time (I live in the US), it's one of the first things I tell them to get before going!

@IcelandwithaView 5 лет назад

Great advice! Thanks for watching! :)

@bigdavek.8322 2 года назад

I head out on my trip to Iceland tomorrow afternoon. This is the first of your videos I watched since I booked my trip to the land of Ice and Fire back in March. I've watched them since and re-watch them in case there is something pertinent I may have missed or forgotten. Thanks for the videos! I think they'll help immensely. 🐭

@Ardyh79 Год назад

Such a great explanation in clearing up the dilemma of what my electrical decices will need while using them in Iceland. TY so much for your time and help, Jeannie! ❤

You're so welcome Rita! Thanks for watching!

@Earthviolet Год назад

I'm so glad I found this video, Jeannie!! The company I'm traveling with, from the US, told us we would need Type E AND Type H adapters for Iceland. Both completely false... LOL! You've given me all the best information on all the topics!!

Thanks for this! (And your other videos!) And thanks for the adapter recommendation! I bought 2 for my upcoming November trip. Keep up the great (and helpful) work!

acrylic actuated threaded dumbbell with bearings were assumed as fixture sockets 2015 ; great voltage

snap fitment using aesthetic prongs European ; greater voltage

@Zoonjse 4 года назад

Good vid. Im from Iceland and when I go to the US I take an adapter, Luckily most gadgets are rated for all volts. But any way as you say♦ it is very important to look at this if you don't want to fry your phone.

@stinkygraykitty6808 5 лет назад

I used the YUBI adapter, off Amazon. They come in a 2 pack....worked great the 2 times in Iceland :)

@IcelandwithaView 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! :)

@MarianneExJohnson 5 лет назад

When you're buying a voltage converter to use with a hair dryer, or basically with anything that is made to get hot, you have to make sure to get one that can handle the power that those devices need. The little ones that fit in your pocket are typically only good for a couple hundred watts, and for a hair dryer you'll need 1000 watts or more. You may actually be better off just buying a 220 volt hair dryer at your destination, or get one that can be switched between 110 and 220 V, so you'll just need a plug adapter...

@why6212 2 года назад

We have seen many available with a switch for 220/110, and they don't seem to be much more expensive than standard ones

@sunsetatshabooms4558 Год назад

What happens if u plug a dual voltage curling iron into a convertor?

@IcelandwithaView Год назад

It should work! I'm no electrician so please do more research but dual voltage devices should be just fine with an ADAPTER only - since the prongs won't fit into the wall properly. No convertor needed. I would assume that the converter and curling iron wouldn't be affected at all if you used both.

@IcelandwithaView Год назад

Hi Michelle! Do you have US electronics? If so, this or something similar should be just fine: www.amazon.com/Voltage-Converter-International-Adapter-European/dp/B073J9QWKY/ref=sr_1_13?crid=342IBWT8YKJ28&keywords=usa+to+europe+voltage+converter&qid=1682604839&sprefix=usa+to+e%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-13

@michelletamburro3857 Год назад

@@IcelandwithaView yes! I checked my hairdryer curl and flat irons and two of them go up to 230- or maybe it was 240- but one does not. So I definitely need the converter. Is this BOTH a converter and adapter?

Do you have any tips on rental cars? As gas as things like insurance. Is the sand and gravel and ash insurance needed ?

Planning vacation in Iceland2020... Don’t want to blow up the hotel - movie, just married... Standard USA flat iron.. can I just purchase a C or F adapter? When I was in Scotland I didn’t buy converter, just an adapter from Amazon and it worked very well... does same apply to Iceland? Thanks love your videos and can’t wait to get to Iceland!!

@IcelandwithaView 4 года назад

The adapter should serve you well! Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip next year!

I've seen EU adapters & converters with both 4.8mm & 4.0mm prongs. Which is correct for use in Iceland, Italy, Egypt & Greece will I need one of each size?

@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY Год назад

Try 4.8mm plug if 4.0mm plug loose on 4.8mm outlet. In India, Type D 5.0mm plug electric outlets could fit 4.8mm, but loosen on 4.0mm
