So confusing! Which adapters work best for Turkey/Greece trip? Do I need converter too? Need to make sure hair dryer/curling iron work!!! LOL.

Turkey and Greece both work off of 220. You would use the 2 prong round with your U.S. Cords plugged into it. I would be very careful running your hair dryer, though. Use the low setting if you can. Normally the high setting will cause it to blow and you won't be able to use it any more. The curling iron should be fine. If you're only visiting those two countries you won't need to take any of the other adapters. Have a great trip!

I think you need the adapter and the converter. One plugs into the other to form a unit. Otherwise you risk not only damaging your equipment but also either tripping the power in the apartment or even worse. And, yes, every place I stayed in Italy had hair dryers. Check into that because it seems to draw more current than anything else.

Works great in Turkey - have to get a plug adapter for your German outlets - easy to come by - even in germany!

There is a small screw on the hair dryer to turn when you go from US to Europe. Then once you get to Europe, you must use an adaptor on the dryer plug before you plug into electric outlets there. And yes, they do work! If you don't use them, you'll fry your electronics!

I took it to Munich and used it with a standard travel adapter. It did not work. The adapter heated up, the iron di and the whole thing was unsuccessful. I had to buy a hot iron locally. Perhaps there is a different kind of adapter that does work, but don't count on using it with a a basic adapter that can't accommodate the amount of power this device draws.

I have this appliance and like it very much. It is my second one in approximately 15yrs. It has a US-style electrical plug; which is to say it is designed for use with 120VAC outlets. I have successfully used similar dryers/curling irons with adapters while traveling in several western European countries and elsewhere in the world and don't remember any problems - but only while traveling. I can't say if this will work well on a long-term basis. Good luck!

I used mine evrywhere... USA, France, Switzerland, Italy and Asia... In Italy and Switzerland, you may need a nother adapter but in other countries, the adapter that comes with it is sufficient. 110 and 220 options are really for travelers. Very happy with the purchase

I have not used this particular one in Europe . I was in India recently and had another dual voltage flat iron with me....not a professional one like this. It heated up beautifully with me using my wall adapter. After doing half of my hair, though, it suddenly blew up, and I had to throw the flat iron in the trash. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to this particular model, since it's a professional one, but can't say definitely if it would work well or not. It should, as it's dual voltage, but then again, the one I used was supposed to work in Europe, as well, and didn't.

Hi Maria, you can bring it but you'll still need to get the proper adapter (also called 'converters'). While you;re on the Amazon shopping page, do a Search and I'm sure you'll be able to find one. Enjoy Europe!!

I have no idea. My daughter is in Bulgaria and tried to use this converter but it broke. Thankfully it didn't harm the electrical item she was using. My suggestion is to wait and purchase the electronic toothbrush where you are visiting and then it will be on the "right current". She is studying abroad and it was suggested to her to purchase items like hairdryers, flat irons, etc in the country. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you are connecting with them. My iphone in Italy worked, my curling iron worked because it was dual voltage, but my Oral B toothbrush required a converter for the voltage. You need to read the voltage requirements on your device.

No, this model will NOT work in Greece. You need a similar adapter with the following caption: NEW! HIGH QUALITY AC POWER TRAVEL ADAPTER PLUG For use in EUROPE (SPAIN TURKEY *GREECE* PORTUGAL CROATIA etc) and THAILAND INDONESIA BRAZIL CHILE PERU RUSSIA and more / WITH DUAL PLUG-IN PORTS! (WORKS AS TWO-ADAPTERS-IN-ONE!) / See Product Description for compatible countries"

Hi Jim, I'm pretty sure the Europe set (type C) work in Greece. However, the Universal pack with all types is only $10.23 with free shipping if you are an Amazon Prime member. I went to Greece in 2006 but took the set with me so I can't be sure which adapter worked there. They do handle 110/240 however most newer phones, computers, etc. automatically switch. Check the label on the appliance and it will tell you what range it accepts. I found transformers a waste of money and I've traveled to Ireland, Italy, Greece, Australia, and New Zealand. I hope this helps, Frank

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

Yes, I have used mine in Venice, Barcelona, Lyon, and Sicily. Yes, you will need a plug ADAPTER . so you can get it into the wall plug with nothing changing. You do NOT need a converter since is already conforms to Europe's 240 vs. USA 120. Most hair dryers do the same, and so do most telephones and computers. If the appliance says 110-220 or 120 - 240 or something like that -- close enough -- electrical power in US fluxuates between 110 to 120, so it's fine. Just buy the $5 conveter plug which takes the US plug straight and changes it into the round ones. No electricity changes.
