i am going to europe. i got this protector. do i need to use a convertor on the 6 out let for 110 machine

You would plug a transformer into one of the outlets on the power strip, and then plug the 110 machine into the transformer.

If your machine only operates on 110-120 voltage, the answer is yes. However, many electronic devices operate on dual voltage, and do not need a transformer/converter. Check your machine/device, and if the power adapter or other area of the machine indicates "input 110-220v," you do not need a converter/transformer. If it only indicates "input 110v," then you do need a converter/transformer.

Noooo! You have this wrong - it is an extension lead for US power - the protector is a standard RCD which kicks in if there's a short somewhere! It DOES NOT convert from one voltage to another!! A voltage transformer always has to be in there! You plug a 110v item into this then into the 240v mains in the UK then you will have the protector trip which is preferable to having the US electrical item blow up on you.If you are unsure - please buy from a shop where you can speak to someone for advice, rather than buy off the interwebs and risk danger or wasting money.

not directly. you would need a converter like you need if you go to Europe to use your appliances over there.

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.

It depends on which version you purchase. Look carefully at the description and listing. Most listings are for the US only version, but a couple of listings include a converter.

I haven't tried that but my son has one purchased in the UK that they use here with a converter... Should be ok

I had to check all of my wall power to USB plugs. Not sure which one actually came with this unit. However, as AC to DC converters, they all take 110-240VAC. This can be verified looking at the plug face. It'll say it accept 110-240 VAC with a 5VDC out put with specific Amperage out-put. So if you use the plug that came with the device and just adapt for the other country, no voltage correction would be necessary.

Any store that sells travel accessories probably have voltage convertors; i.e. 220 volts to 110 volts. I have a set of convertors myself for when I travel to Europe. Check with Amazon, you should find one. Also check with the manufacture, they may have a suggestion.

You havn't stated what country you plan to use it in, or why you don't have a 120VAC source. which makes a difference. You can get what you need from Amazon (search Amazon, get the best price) or go to: www.220converters.com/store/, and select "travel voltage converters". Be sure to get two things or something that combines the two functions: the plug adaptor to be able to plug in, which will depend on your country, plus the voltage converter that converts from the power characteristics you have to 120VAC, 60hz.

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

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

No you don't need any convertor it will work in any country 110 to 240 volts and al the adapter are included

I'm actually going to Europe next week and planning on bringing my flat iron, but I'm pretty sure it will work if you get a converter

There are three identical converters that are designed to work in Ireland. They may work in other countries as well, but we needed them for a trip to Ireland. Please note that these do NOT transform electrical service from 220 to 110. They serve only to change the configuration of the plug to allow the use of outlets found in Ireland.

If you use it in U.S., you do not need a converter actually. Just do not use the biggest mode. Dry or set mode is enough, at least for me.

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

No you will not need a converter. You will have to switch the dryer unit to 220 for use in any country besides Us & Canada. However you will need an adapter to plug it into the wall. That's all. I used this while in Africa for 3 months

If the plugs you currently have convert your voltage from 220/230 to 110, then no you don't need this converter. I hope this helps!
