The travel adapter only fits the plug shape into the outlet. Voltage converter changes the electrical value. Although most phone and laptop chargers support a wide input range, it is necessary to check the label of each device separately.

High-powered hair dryers or styling devices are the group that causes the most problems. Using only with an adapter may damage the device or create a security risk.

Reading device label

Find the 'Input' line on the charger. If the range compatible with the voltage/frequency of the destination country is specified, a plug adapter may be sufficient. If it is a single value, do not use it without manufacturer's instructions.
