Hey guys,
Im in the US at the moment and posted on the other chat about hair straighteners. I have a laptop I got in the UK and it works over here fine on an adaptor but the charge is not as strong so i need to keep it plugged in most of the time, same for things like i-pods!
Hope thats helped

u are not asking the rite person lol i hav no clue???????? ;D

 

they might with an adaptor cos they r meant to change that voltage. Go into a shop and ask! or try the travel agents, they r bound to know!

all this hi-tech talk is lost on me lol ;D

 

I am pretty sure that means they won't work without a voltage adapter.
