With this do you also need to purchase a converter for change of voltage? We'll be traveling from US to Italy.

It will depend on if the device you are powering with the adapter is capable voltage up to 240volts AC. Examples would be that most cell phones are rated for both 120 and 240 volts. On the contrary, most blow dryers are not.You can check the labels of your devices and many will tell you what voltages they will accept. If in doubt use a converter. A converter simply rectifies the voltage down to USA standard of 120 VAC, but I will say that they can be expensive!When my daughter traveled to Europe last summer, she didn't have any problems, although she didn't spend much time in Italy.

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.

No. I tried to use it with a voltage converter in France last year and ruined it. Like it so much that I bought a new one when I came home. Lesson learned.

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

yes but you will need us to europe converter plug, different for different countries in europe

No you don't need any convertor it will work in any country 110 to 240 volts and al the adapter are included

No, it does not come with a converter. I don't know what European outlets look like, so I cannot tell you.

No! I suggest you take a look at the Alaska Air article at this web address: http://goitaly.about.com/od/travelpackingtips/l/bl_electricity_italy.htm. It would seem that even with a converter, you might get over there, plug in the appliance with a converter and still get smoke or fire. Last time I visited Ireland I invested in travel rollers and a package of adapters/converters. Amazon carries several travel rollers. Probably carries adapters/converters as well. If not try Magellans.com.

Hello Tommaso...my charger indicates 110/120 volt only. Not sure I understand your question about a converter...my charger indicates .6 amp load so small converter would work. Hope this helps; we have been to Italy twice and loved it.

Not unless you have a converter/adapter. You can buy a converter/adapter at most any store that sells electronics/hardware. Not expensive and a must have if you take ANY plug in device to Europe.

no, for that you need a power/voltage converter. this is just a plug adapter.

No. If you mean to convert from US to Euro for travel it does not convert, you will need an adapter.

This works great in Europe. I just returned from Italy. There should be an adapter in your box that you will plug your flat Iron into then their funky socket. The other thing is to switch to 220volt (off of 110v). And that's it!! You don't need a converter thanks to it being built in. This was a great purchase.

No have to buy an Europe electricity converted, 220 volt not going to work.

wife used it in Rome - so should be same in France - did not need a power converter - just the two prong adapter

This is not a voltage converter. It is merely an adapter that allows you to use either the two- or three-pronged plug. Both are used in Italy. You still need a converter to change from 220 volt to 110 volt current. Most computers have a switch on the back that allows you to select either voltage. Then you would need an adapter to change from the US 3-prong plug to the Italian 2- or 3- prong plug.

The owner's manual states yes though you need the converter plug for the country being visited.
