will this work in Italy with a plug adapter? I see this on Travelsmith but I am not sure it is the same, the name of it doesn't say "dual voltage"!

I used it in Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia this summer with adapter plug (NOT converter) and it worked great. Does get hot so you need to be careful. My experience in Italy is that power can be variable at times so you just need to be extra watchful about overheating. But I had no problems in the countries I visited this summer and am pleased with this straightener.

I used this in Ireland with an adapter. It is great for travel but it is very small. I now keep it in the office for touch ups.

Yes, I took this Travel Smart by Conair ceramic straightener to Italy and used a adaptor plug. Worked beautifully. It is dual voltage. No need for converter when using this device. If you have any doubts that we are talking about the same appliance, I would email Travelsmith to be safe.

Yes, I used it in Italy last year. Works great - don't forget to change the electrical voltage to 250 on the curling iron. To save space, I only took the smaller brush. Looks just like the photo. The rows of brush bristles are spaced pretty far apart. I could not find any other dual voltage curling brush, so this one was fine. Have fun in Italy! (p.s. of course you have to use an adapter plug to fit the Italian wall receptacles - but you do NOT need a CONVERTER because the brush is dual voltage)

Yes, it does work in Italy. Just remember to plug it in first before plugging your electronics into it.

Yes, it IS dual voltage. I'm not sure about using it in Europe having never traveled.

I live in Italy. Would like to order this product, but i would first like to know if this is universal voltage. Thank you

I checked, for 120V only, no switch or dual voltage, but weird thing is ( or maybe I'm just lucky), my girl friend bring it to Europe (London and Paris), it works with the 240V well.......

I just returned from a month in Italy. Most locations we stayed at had the three hole recepticals but those would accept the two prong adapters. I think it's similar to the US where three holes are grounded two are not. We had no problem using small items like iPhones , iPads, razors, etc. using the two plug adapters. However, we do carry a grounded surge protector just to be safe.

I was travelling with a group of friends, some of whom who had 2-prong adapters, and they worked at the places we stayed. I had a 3-prong adapter that worked everywhere I stayed in Italy. I think the answer to your question is yes.

You will need to add the European adapter plug. I've used this both in Italy and in Africa. Very handy...with several charging options in one plug.

My unit is only configured for North American voltages, so you would need an adapter for Italy.

It depends on the charger's specifications. The adapter changes only the shape of the plug; it doesn't convert voltage. US voltage is 120; Italy's is 220. Many electronic components automatically switch between 120 and 220 volts; if your charger does that then it's good to go. For instance, I had no trouble whatsoever with my laptop and my smartphone charging, but my sister fried her hair dryer because it was 120 volts only.

Yes it will, you will use the supplied 2 pin rounded outlet head. Note that in Italy the plug will have 3 pins when you see it. But the centre pin is the ground and you don't need it since USB devices are insulated and are not large appliances.

I used it in Italy. Think some countries may have different voltage...so not sure on others.

No, it is not dual voltage. But this product can be used if you either purchase or borrow a converter from the hotel you're staying at.

Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer. If you are traveling, the wattage in Europe is 220/125. To change the voltage you would have to purchase a very expensive and heavy voltage converter (which people used to do years ago before dual voltage hair dryers and other appliances). Two choices: one, buy a dual voltage here and then buy the various plugs for each country, or purchase a dryer in Europe which is not dual voltage, but only for European plugs. I purchased one in Paris and another in London many years ago, they work great. Good luck (Conair makes a cheap one that works) Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer.

I have ordered mine through the US side of amazon.com and they have both an us plug - what make sense.But the plug is made for 120-240 V and 50/60 Hz and with it you can use this internationally. You just need a little adapter for Europe (no converter!) for 2$.I'm commuting and therefor bought a second one because I'm so satisfied with them!

The adapter that comes in the kit will work in Italy. The charger plugs into the adapter and then the adapter will plug into the wall socket.
