US electronics in Europe/Italy?
 

I'm leaving next week and was just speaking to someone who told me they fried their cell phone and a flat iron while in Italy using those adapter plugs they bought at Target.

Hmm... I thought it worked pretty standard, but guess not.

I'm sure the iPhone is fine from going from US to Italy, but anyone have any issues with laptops/Macbooks, camera battery charges and things like curling irons getting way to hot and burning up?

Obviously the curling/flat iron is not for me, but wondering about what my gf is bringing.

most modern electronics take American and EU power just fine, all you need to do is find little plug converter, and make sure INPUT POWER on your device takes something close in a range of 110-240V

Those adaptors dont convert the voltage, so be careful. If the product works on 110-220 volts the adaptor will work. Otherwise you'll need a power convertor, which isnt practical.

if your device works only with 100-120V then for it to work in EU you'll need actual power converter or transformer not sure how they're called exactly, not just plug converter otherwise you will fry your device
