Q: QuestionI have an iron and coffee maker brought from Germany... and laptops... does this converter let them work on the US system?

Asked 7 years ago by Bishoy.

• A:Answer It should work with the laptops. The other items may depend on the electric draw since an iron and coffee maker require more electricity. My son used it to charge his laptop and phone.

Q: Questionwill this work for a UK hair waver that has a 250 volt 13A fuse voltage to use in US? thanks!

Asked 6 years ago by Sheridan157.

• A:Answer I'm not an electrician, so I defer to experts. But this product is NOT a voltage transformer/converter. Thus, if your hair waver is a "single voltage" device (i.e., it does not have its own voltage transformer/converter or a switch to go back and forth between 100~120V/200~250V), then I would not recommend using this product. Since your hair waver is 250V and almost all electric outlets in the US are 110-120V, it will not function properly without a voltage transformer/converter. Most voltage transformers/converters are much more expensive than this product, which is merely a plug adapter. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI just got a Ionic hair straightener with a plug that is no going to fit in to any outlets in my house. How can I get this UK plug to fit a US outlet?

Asked 5 years ago by Winterishere9.

Q: QuestionUsing this with a Black and Decker Type G heater purchased online. The specifications say the heater is 2000W, 220-240V, 50/60 Hz max 13A. Will it be ok to use as an adapter to Type B US grounded plug running at 220V? I assume it will but wanted input.

Asked 6 years ago by B0Zi919.

• A:Answer This Adapter is not a converter, it just simply plugs a 240/110V Euro plug to the U.S. You need a converter that will take a 240 and down volt it to a 110v. Unless the unit says 240v-110V DO NOT use this plug. This plug is also a 10A max rating. If you end up buying a converter make sure it has a rating of 13A at least and can handle whatever wattage that heater takes. The reason I'm emphasizing this is that you can cause serious injury and fire hazards if not careful.

Q: QuestionWill this adapter support a curling iron European 220-240V to American 110-120V?

Asked 6 years ago by Addy.

• A:Answer No! This is purely to change the shape of the plug, it does not step up or down the voltage. For that you need a transformer. Whatever you plug in to this needs to be compatable with 110v
