Does this work in Rome, Venice and Munich? Do I need an additional converter/adapter?

Yes and no. It works on 220 volts (even though it doesn't say that), but of course you will need the correct adapter to convert the American style plug to the European 2-prong round pin plug. If you don't already have them, you can buy them here: OREI American USA To European Schuko Germany Plug Adapters CE Certified Heavy Duty - 2 PackContrary to what Joseph says below, you don't need a voltage converter unless you plan to plug in appliances that can't handle 240 volts. Almost all American appliances and electronics can.

It's just a standard "American", three prong, grounded plug with four standard grounded outlets. It is not a European voltage converter. You would need a seperate 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.

No. Get a converter before traveling to Europe. They are small and convenient.

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.

Hi Saida. Yes, this should work in Italy because it's listed as working in the European Union.

Yes, I use them in Florence all over Chianti and in Venice this June. They worked great for all of my US devices

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.

I just used this in London with a Windows phone and tablet and an iPhone and iPad. Nothing else is needed. I am told these days that voltage conversion is handled by the devices.

Mine came with an adaptor plug that works in Germany. I've had no trouble here, bit I think you'll need a different adaptor for the UK. In terms of voltage and hertz, you should be fine.

I used it in Italy and had no problems! My only additional suggestion would be to get a power strip then you can use this to plug the power strip in and the power strip will provide you ample outlets for your multiple devices instead of buying a bunch of adapters.

No idea. But I can assure you I used it in Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Viena, Italy and Peru, without any problem.

If going from the US to Europe, you will need an adaptor, but it works great with a cheap ($2) adaptor. I've used it in Spain a lot, and plan to use it again this summer.

No. It will work in Paris and other european places that use a type C plug. For the UK you need a type G plug or converter.

I just returned from Italy (Welsberg, Florence, Rome). In both Florence and Rome, the Two hole adaptor worked in almost all three hole plugs, (They have enlarged the two outer prong holes on most outlets to accommodate them.) However, if you have the three prong plugs, that is their standard in Rome and Florence. Up north near Austria, the two prong is the standard.

I used this in Italy for two years with just the adaptor and although it worked, it did get really hot and would turn off on its own...I suggest you use a converter! I never did and when I got back to the States it broke:(

I have used it in London, Monaco, Florence and Paris. Works great, but you do need a voltage converter, also sold at Amazon. MP

You wouldn't need a converter, but you would need an adapter from the US style 2 prong to the 3 prong style used in Italy. The steamer can work on dual-voltaes (120 or 240) so you would only need the adapter. The S-type European adapter would work, which is only 2 prongs because this steamer doesn't have a grounding prong.
