Bought this for a trip to Europe. Plugged it in the first day. There was a spark and it stopped working. This was while using a flat iron. Does not work. Ruined my trip. I couldn't charge my phone or use any of my things.

This is a plug adapter, not a transformer. If your flat iron can work on 220 Volts - that's all you need, otherwise you need a transformer. I myself had to take a transformer with me for the hairdryer. But this plug adapter was enough for the computers and cell phone chargers.

There is no name brand on the box but it work great for me in Spain. I believe it should work in Egypt since the Spain has 220V. This flat iron goes up to 240V.

I use this iron with standard USA household voltage. I am thinking that you would require a voltage converter if traveling abroad.

The pack I bought has adaptor for every country. ( or so I was led to believe) I used them in Thailand and Burma, also on board a river boat. I used three different adaptors of the ones in the pack and they worked perfectly. So you must google Peru and see which one works n that country, and you should be fine . Peru is wonderful. Hope you are visiting Machu Picho. Magical !

It should as far as I know but remember this is an adapter not a convertor. Whatever you are plugging into this has to be able to take 240 volts. Most electronic devices do take both 120 & 240. My wife bought a curling iron for our trip that took both. If your equipment only takes 120, it will be fried.

I've traveled extensively with my curling iron with the cartridge in it. I pack an extra cartridge in my checked bag if I'm going to be gone for an extended trip.

I used it in China for my laptop mostly, but it should work with iPhone and hair dryer.

Don't have specific answer but it probably depends on the type of service available in Cuba. If it is the same as Europe then probably yes. Nice small phone which worked well in Iceland and I plan on using it again with other European trips. Highly recommend this phone if all you want is a nice little phone with long battery life. It is small, light weight and gets excellent reception and you have alarm, text and contact list. Can't be beat for price. My phone came with European plug so you may need an adaptor to charge it... Cuba not being on my travel list don't know about that. Should be no problem to find out. Can't be beat for the money.

If the iron has a standard 2-prong U.S. plug, this converter should work for it. I used the converter to recharge my iPad while in India with no problem. I had read on some online sources that electrical currents were sometimes erratic in India, so I also carried a surge protector. I plugged the converter into the wall socket, the surge protector into the convertor, and my device into the surge protector. This might be overkill, but it worked for me. Good luck and have a great time!

No. This converter is only for 100Watts. Your hairdryer needs probably 1000-1500 Watts. I have now clue about curling irons, but I assume it also needs more than 100 W. Look on the curling iton. It's power needs to be stated on it.You would need a stronger converter for your intended uses. Type in "converter" and the Watts you need and add 30-50% for safety in Amazon. The converter you would need will be too large for travelling!

No. If you are concerned about curling irons, then you should purchase a dual wattage one. In that case all you would need is an adaptor plug for the country you're in. Most things now are dual wattage(cell phones, cameras, laptops) but dual wattage curling irons are something that you have to make an effort to find.

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

No- you should not bring any heating device- blow dryer, straightening iron, etc.... they will FRY and DIE!!!This is not a electrical converter- the volts/amps different. This is only for allowing your counties plug shape to fit into and then it fits into their wall outlet. If you want to convert power you need a power converter which run around 50$ and really not worth it unless you travel a LOT. I just for-go the hair stuff all together and let my hair do what it wants! Who cares? you are on vacation! donna

Yes and it works very well!! I'm mixed African American and Cuban and it works very well on my hair. My hair is straight with only one pass of the flat iron. I bought mine about 3 years ago and it still works as well as the day I bought it...

This adapter will work in Spain but along with this, she will also need a 300 watt step down transformer if her hair straightner is only 110V meant for american voltage.

Yes. It worked for me in Tanzania, Europe and US. Trinidad should work too.
