Voltage converters are very compact, lightweight, solid state travel-size devices that step down the higher voltages of 220/240 volts, found in most other countries, to North American 110/120 volts. Some voltage converters (see voltage converters below) can handle low watt, usually under 50 watts, electronic devices like many camera and iPod chargers and most non-electronic appliances like many hair dryers, curling irons, travel irons, etc. Some of these voltage converters have manual switches for these functions while others are self-switching. Please review the voltage converters listed below to find just the features that you need.
