Charge converter
Yeah, so this has nothing to do with masturbation OR S&M, so sorry. I just wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy an European charge converter, not the random bag of adapters that it seems everybody has. I've seen kind of tubular integrated charge converter/adapter thingy, but I have no clue where to acquire one.
Thanks! Now get back to your dirty polls. |

If you are going to be there for any length of time, the best option is to simply buy a hair dryer or whatever else once you get there.
This also goes for packing umbrellas. Often, voltage converters wind up frying your appliance anyway.

Well, I don't have a viable option of repurchasing a laptop in Europe, sorry. So no dice. As for a hairdryer, I think I'm doing Mia Farrow with my hairstyle tomorrow, so no dryer required.
Any other suggestions? |

I initially tried Radio Shack, and they directed me to a luggage / travel store at the mall that sold individual converters. That was in SoCal, but you get the point.

Power cord on my Lenovo
So I just called a luggage store, and they said I don't need a charge converter with a laptop because the powercords usually have dual voltage capabilities. Instead, I just need the appropriate wall plug-in and I'm good to go. Is this true? I'm wary of this.

The same goes for most electronics, but you should check each device to make sure it is 100-240V. What other appliances do you plan on taking? The biggest issue seems to be hair dryers. 3D is right, go by a local cheapy for $20 and avoid the hassle. The transformers needed to handle a hair dryer are usually $40 and up and would need to be purchased in Europe. Let me know if you have any individual questions. We lived through this.
