what is the difference between an adapter and a converter....Do i need both?

An adapter does not change the voltage. It just makes it possible to connect a plug to a socket that it otherwise wouldn't fit into. A converter converts the voltage. You don't always need a converter, but you often need an adapter if you want to use a converter. Somewhere on your appliance, there should be a label telling you what type of voltage it will handle. Some appliances will handle voltages found most places in the world, for example many mobile phones and laptops do not require a converter, but they often require an adapter.

The adapter is used to read your sd card on your computer. If you want to dump what you have moved to the sd card on your phone. Be sure and follow the instructions for removing the card from your phone. Hope that helps...

It's adapter. ...since different countries have different power plugging and hence u can use the product from US in your country. ....it's really good. I use this. ..but it will not convert a to dc or vice versa.

This Is easy to get done. Even If you know nothing about It, go to an electronic supply or a radio shack and ask them what you need. They will give you any adapter/s that you may need. Good luck!

Nope. I am using it without adapter or voltage converter now and it works fine. May be little loose though... But still working fine at home, at gym, everywhere...

What are you trying to hook up.....that would determine if you need adapter or not.

Hi Tammera, you don't need an adapter. Everything is included and works great! Catherine

I don't know. If you can plug into a America like plug then yes, if not you will need a converter. My only problem with this product is the attachments won't stay in after about month it less. I use the big brush all the time so my husband put 2 short screws into it to hold it on. Which h works great.I would buy one like this wasn't interchangeable. Even through I like the idea cuz I do travel some.

If you use the orginal adapter you should have no problem. Generic adapters may pose as a problem.

Hey Nicholas, we had to go to best buy and buy a converter. It was a little pricey, but worth it. Hope this helps. :)

I was not aware that you could use an adapter, but apparently you can. I now see that there is a little round plug for it. However, from Joe Lee's comments, I would be sure to use the correct one.

You can use a converter if you don't need it. I used one for my Dell computer and it worked fine.I had two prong adapters, but the brick had a three prong cord. I got that adapter and it works fine, too.

by power converter, you mean a transformer? or an adaptor that just switches the plug? thanks

No you will not need a converter. This has a button which you switch between 110 V Or 220V depending on the electricity in the country you are in. I used it in the US on 110 V and travelled with it and used it on 220V in the Middle East. All you do is switch that small button to adjust input

You dont need any adapter. Everything you need comes with it. Hope this helps.

I am pretty sure they are the same converter. I absolutely love mine, highly recommended.
