can I use this in Italy without it exploding?

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.

Italy has 220V outlet so no you cannot use it in Italy unless you have a plug adapter and converter. You can buy travel hair dryers that have power adapter plugs or some small button you can twist to change voltage.

Not unless you have a converter/adapter. You can buy a converter/adapter at most any store that sells electronics/hardware. Not expensive and a must have if you take ANY plug in device to Europe.

You must look on your power supply, charger. Most of the newer ones are made for an input of 50-60 cycles 110-240 volts AC input(they usually use switching technology). Should work ok. Italy uses 50 cycles at 240 volts AC if I remember correctly.

Good question. It is a US plug. I don't know what plug Italy uses. But whatever it is, with a converter you should do fine. I've done all right with a converter in Asia and England. It's the best travel steamer I have ever found!

Yes. However having a dedicated outlet that is GFCI enabled is the safest way to connect the ToTo. The directions also indicate you should do that. However running an extension cord to any outlet will work but not safe.

I used the product in Italy - it worked great there. Had been to Portugal 2 years prior but did not have this exact product at that time . . . so can't answer the question definitively - sorry!

Hi Diane - I believe you will need a converter or adapter in Italy as purchase the adapter is not included.

I don't know about everywhere in Italy but we used them in Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento, Levanto, Casino and a few places in between. We used them for our iPhones and cpap machine along with a Kindle. I did have a hairdryer I used and it had a dual voltage feature but a US plug. It was set on 240. Everything else was just as we used them at home. Hope this helps.

Yes! But only if you have or buy a power converter. This appliance is built for the US 110 volt market, while Europe and the rest of the world uses 220. Therefore, in order to use it in Italy, you have to buy a power converter which converts from 110 to 220, otherwise, using only an adapter, you would destroy the slow cooker

Same as the previous answer, my wife used this to charge her iPhone and Mac laptop while she was in Italy and had no trouble whatsoever.

Italy, yes. But it only accepts low voltage electrical items like cell phone charger.

No idea. But I can assure you I used it in Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Viena, Italy and Peru, without any problem.

A machine bought in the U.S is designed for 120v power, in Italy they use 220v. If you bought a machine in Italy, then there would be no problem.

I am now using it in Hong Kong (220V) and I need an adapter as the pins of the plug are different. Depends on what kind plug/pins do the sockets in Italy allow, you probably need an adapter which you can easily purchase in the market.

Yes! We used this in three major cities in Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice) and never used any of our other European adapters.

It worked perfectly in Italy/France, although it is not grounded (with three poles instead of two), it fits well in all outlets.
