Want to know the voltage, frequency, and plug type of the country you’re going to visit? Check it out here.

Note: Electronic devices such as laptops, phones and iPads do NOT need converters from 10+ years of traveling experience. They only need adapters. It’s a good idea to double check your own device though.
The appliances that normally need converters and adapters are larger household appliances such as sewing machines or food processors oddly specific examples are from experience LOL.
Appliances that don’t do well with converters or adapters are items that heat up such as a clothing steamer. However, hair straighteners and appliances that are marked as DUAL VOLTAGE will work with just adapters.
