When you used the flat iron overseas, did you only use an adapter? I did not notice a switch to convert from U.S. to European voltage.

I've never been over seas so unfortunately I am unable to answer your question. I do hope you find the proper assistance.

The voltage should work worldwide, the thing is what kind of contact or plug you have there in China, as the iron comes with the A plug type.

Dear Nino Gvelesiani, Thanks for your question and your interest in the ISA Professional Digital Flat Iron. Yes, this flat iron is dual voltage and will work on 110/220. The plug is a polarized (one prong bigger than the other) North American plug. If you use it in countries that do not accept this configuration, you will need a plug adapter which are commonly sold separately in travel stores, airports, and pharmacists. Jessica R.

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

I tried it in South Africa and burned it up. I didn't use a voltage converter, just a plug converter.

No this iron does not use an adapter. It goes straight into the wall outlet. But it works on 110 v as well as on 220 v. I live in the Netherlands (220 v) and since this iron is equipped with an USA power plug (110 v), I had to replace that with a northern European plug. But there was no need to replace the power cable. It is made for both currencies.

I love the flat iron, but I just went to a couple of other countries and I used an adaptor and it didn't work as well...I was worried it was going to ruin it so I stopped using it...some brands make flat irons for different watts...I would look at that...sorry!

The nameplate on mine says "120 volt" & that applies to the iron and cord. It would not be safe to use on 220 volt . If you purchased a model designed for Europe, it would look similar but be rated appropriately .

I have one and it is not. You would need to use a converter to use in Europe.

The manufacturers usually say that the converter cannot be used with hair dryer or iron type of appliance. I have never tried. If you're traveling where you'll be in a good hotel, most provide you with either hair dryer, OR have a converter to use with USA appliances. Some USA model hair dryers have switchable voltage (as do electric razors), and ARE able to be used with the converter- as long as the dryer is switched to the 220v setting.

I didnt see any switches to change it from 110 to 220, nor did I see any plug adaptations.

If bought in the US or Mexico, then it designed for 120 V input only, not for used in countries with 220V or 240V outlets.So it might simply depend on where you purchased the iron, or for which market the iron is made.

I just returned to America from visiting England (I purchased my flat iron in America) and my iron short circuited when I plugged it into 220v using an adapter. The gfci safety plug was no use in protecting my iron from short circuiting! That was an expensive mistake.

Hello Evelyn, You can "BUT" only if your Flat Iron is duel voltage! That's very important!! Without it being duel voltage (110 to 220), you will blow the appliance and the electric in the entire building you are in, if you are in Europe. Hope that helps....Teresa Bartley

Not sure, my daughter used her British irons in an American adapter plug with no problems but when i looked into buying one from American voltage to Brit plug the whole advice was NOT suitable for straightening irons!

I have the same question. I just got this as a gift for my wife. I'm trying in vain to turn the switch to 250V since she will use it for overseas travel - 220V. Could she just plug it without voltage conversion?

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards
