Travel Appliances for International Travel
Choosing travel appliances for international travel is easier when products are built for both 110–120V and 220–240V systems. This guide covers a dual-voltage travel hair dryer, travel curling iron, travel hair straightener, travel clothes steamer, travel electric kettle, and other useful 220V products. Dual-voltage appliances still need the correct plug adapter/adaptor.
What does dual voltage mean?
Dual-voltage travel appliances operate on both 110–120V and 220–240V electrical systems. They still need the correct plug adapter or adaptor, but they do not need a voltage converter.
Travel Hair Dryers, Curling Irons, and Straighteners
A travel hair dryer, travel curling iron, or travel hair straightener must be rated for the voltage at your destination. Check the appliance label for 100–240V or 110–240V before using it overseas. A plug adapter changes the plug shape but does not change the voltage.
Reminder
Dual-voltage appliances still need the correct plug adapter or adaptor for the country you are visiting.
- Adapter changes plug shape only
- It does not change voltage
- Check the appliance label before travel
- Look for 100–240V input
