I'm going to a 220v area. Do I need a converter from 220 to 110 type applications?

I am not an expert on this. But my kids who travel internationally said I shouldn't need a converter in Paris so I just bought the adapters. The pkg of 6 was all we needed for my husband and I to plug in all our phones, ipads, laptops, etc. We stayed at Marriott hotels that provide electronic panels for lots of adapters. Happy Travels!

Depends on the electronics you are using. Look at the label on the power supply for it. If the Input say 110-220 or around that you should be fine with just a plug adapter. For example, the iPhone plug in chargers all handle up to 220 no problem.

This item is not a convertor. If your appliance accepting both 220v and 110v you should be fine. You can probably see that on your power chord/unit, labeled "input".

These adapters only change the plugs... if the device is dual voltage (many, but not all, are) then all you need is the adapter. If your device is only 110-120 V, then you need a voltage converter....

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

I defently use a converter..it runs off a 110 outlet. Check the warrenty just in case.

No, you will need a 30 AMP Breaker to fully realize it's potential. This is of course assumed that you have 220V capability already.

I don't think it would work without a converter. I have 110V electricity and it works well here.

The unit is a US standard 110v, so if your country's supply is not 110v you will need a converter.

This is 110V version....so yes you need either a passive or active converter

Assuming your outlets are a standard type, an adapter is needed. Plugging into 220V without an adapter will instantly burn it up. Example see: http://www.amazon.com/Simran-SMF-200-Converter-International-Countries/dp/B000W9DJ1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365627216&sr=8-1&keywords=220+to+110+converter

You will have to refer to the manufacturer. I live in US so we all use 110v - you may need a transformer to use this.

Absolutely not. Buy only from a European Amazon site to be sure of 220v and the right prongs. Don't use a converter. It will fry your appliance.

I would say no. You would most likely fry the unit. There are plenty of tutorials on the web to convert your 220 to 110, however. If you don't feel comfortable with electrical work, I cannot imagine the conversion would be that expensive. Take the time to change the voltage.

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.

You need to assure your converter provides 110v 50-60Hz cycle. I am not electrical expert but that is a common requirement for most electrical device in US.

You can buy a power converter. You might check with the manufacturer and see if they offer it in 220.

you would need a 110 converter i would imagine? that would be a great question for an electrician

Hi. you will need a step down transformer to work this equipment on 220. Otherwise will burn.

You will need a converter for 110v. Some airports have 110v outlets like in Asia
