Going to Ireland. My travel agent told me I need a plug that will transform to 110. I'm confused

This will work with phones ipad etc..but for heat appliances make sure u have one that says that it can convert to 110 from 220 ( like travel iron straightener or hair dryer) or just buy an Irish hair dryer

Hi JOYCE. This a adapter is a little more expensive, but let me tell you it is well worth the price. I us it for my Sonic toothbrush, Sonic flosser and curling iron. Do not use it for a lap top or hair dryer. I bought a different adapter for those items. The last time I went to Ireland and London I bought a less expensive adapter and burnt out my toothbrush and curling iron. I am currently in London, and have been for the last three months, and have not had any mishaps with this adapter....GREAT ITEM

This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either. I've been told European electrical currant is stronger than our and will burn up a computers, smartphone, etc. so I used this type plug to "downsize" the electrical current. BTW I've been told to purchase a curling iron/ hair dryer in Europe because even with any adaptor the European current will burn it up for some reason. They're not that expensive & it's better to be safe than loose a good hair culer or hair dryer. Also many hotels have some you may borrow at the front desk. Good luck. Enjoy your trip. Ireland is beautiful - I had only one rainy day, but it was quite windy.S This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either.

Most curling new curling irons and charges for new cell phones have an adapter that has 100-240v printed on the back of it. This means a person only needs the 3 pin plug adapter for Ireland's 230v ac. If in doubt, call the manufacturer of the electrical product that you want to use in Ireland. I hope this information is helpful.

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

You would most likely need a converter plug if the country has different plug in 'prongs'.

I'd advise depending what country you're in or going to. In Europe it's 220 and here 110 or 120 Hope this helps because if you get one here and plug in Europe it'll burn your hk up Do take care

It must be 110. I am in the US and that is what we have unless the plug is for an oven.

It just means IF YOU USE the proper equipment he device can convert. When I traveled to Ireland I used this and other electric rollers. You need a converter and adapters. Google traveling with electrical devices, I learned a lot online. There are different converters and adapters for different countries. READ ALL THE. Information before buying because if yiu dont have the correct one you can burn out your device. I chose a converter power strip because I had iphone, ipad etc at night charging and multiple items in the a.m. Hope this helps, happy and safe travelling!

I believe you will need an converter that adapts both the voltage from 110 to 220 and the physical plug itself. I have one for light conversions and it works very well. Choose the correct size for the converters' capacities.

The charger is rated for 110-240 V, but the cord is designed for use in the US, Canada, and Mexico. You'll need an inexpensive plug adapter to use it in Ireland. I like the purple ones available here on Amazon. I've used the charger many times on 240 V in Europe, Africa, and Africa and it worked well.

Power adapter is 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 150mAh input, 5V, 1A output. That'll work anywhere in the world I can think of. Make sure you have the right plug adapter (you will NOT need a transformer, but just a plug adapter to physically fit the plug to wherever in the world you are traveling to). You can find these things at travel stores, AAA, drugstores, department stores, etc.

i'm not an expert, but i think you will need a transformer, 110 & 220 dont mix from what i can recall. hope this helps. i'm pretty sure you need transformer.

Both 110 and 220/240V. If you're travelling, one of those universal power adapters would suffice.

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.

My parents were just there in January. They said that all of the more modern hotels or the ones in the tourist areas have American outlets and their iphones and ipad didn't need the converter as they are already set up for 110 and 220. This converter/adapter does have the American plug adapter built in. As for any other outlet in Vietnam, I don't know. My parents said they didn't need it. You should check your devises before going to make sure they can accept 220. If they do and you are staying in more tourist areas, then you may not need anything.

No, this will not work in Ireland. You'll need a Type G adapter as shown here:Ceptics 3 Outlet Travel Adapter Plug Type G for UK, Hong Kong

Mine is a plug into the wall AC-110 model. There may be travel models available, but I don't know if there are.

Hi Lorraine! It has a 2 prong slotted plug (||) like we have here throughout North America and it's rated at 120V AC, 60Hz, 600W. Unfortunately I can't even begin to tell you if it will work in Ireland or not. Hope this helps.
