Italy Power points

[rheajayde]

Hi,
I am in Paris now, and i am using an australian heating appliance (hair straightner) and now i just have the standard plug adapter, and all is good lol.
But ive been told italy is different to the rest of eruope so ill need a converter to use it there. Can anyone confirm this? Since its a heating device i dont exactly want to to catch on fire, lol.
The voltage says 230-240V~50hz /30 W
Thanks!

rheajayde, it's a bit surprising that someone told you a (Voltage) Converter would be needed in Italy? Every location I visited was 220/240-volts, with much the same Plug configuration as the rest of Europe (although slightly different wall connections can be found in some older areas). Have a look at www.kropla.com/electric2.htm for more information.

As your Hair Straightener is designed to operate on that voltage, the normal Euro Plug Adapter should work fine.

Cheers!
