Update, May 2024: We just did a complete write-up about international plug adapters and voltage converters with a bit more detail and a few additional options. Feel free to check it out at www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/
Thanks for your tips! Question: You said that if you have an appliance that doesn't accept the full range of 100V to 240V, you'll need a voltage converter. I have a hair curling iron that lists a range of 110-240V, with 50/60Hz. Do I still need a voltage converter because it lists 110V instead of 100V? Just thought I'd double check!
I’m sorry I’m still confused and worried too I have a very similar outlet adapter just like the black one in your video, and I’m going to use it in the Philippines but I’m worried it might fry my iPhone 14 and go pro
@@eythora_24 If you're plugging those things into the USB ports, you're fine! Here's more info: www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/
@@sking3225 If it is NOT a dual-voltage device, you will need a voltage converter such as the ALLWEI device. Also be careful to make sure that your steamer does not draw more than the ALLWEI's power limit of 230 watts (you can also compute the power draw by multiplying voltage in volts by current in amps).
@@yNwa0fLd Shouldn't be an issue to use a converter all the time, especially if the device is dual voltage! More info: www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/international-plug-adapters/
That adapter does not support grounding. Also the europlug it has is rated only for 2.5 A. That is what they make when the makers do not know or do not care about electric safety. Those adapters that you had a bagful are absolute death traps. Never use anything like that.
I will get hubby to read this article as he is technically savvy. Last year I went to Cuba with a machine REQUIRED for my health and a new converter from CTC. It did not work and I almost had to come home. An employee with as asthmatic child lent me some equipment. I do NOT want this to happen again.
