charging in europe
i have a replacement plug which will let me use appliances in europe but it is not a transformer...is it ok to charge a laptop without a transformer? i know it is ok for phones and tablets but does a laptop use more power? also small electrics like toothbrush and hair styler...?? i once burned up a travel iron with a transformer so don't want to mess up again.

Couldn't you plug the transformer you have into the plug you have that fits into the european circuit?

Your laptop will charge fine without a transformer. been doing this for years. I'm not sure about the toothbrush or hair styler.

Hi Dianne ---- If you read the back of your laptop power supply it should read something like : 110v - 240v 50/60hz. The power supply is actually a transformer it converts AC to DC that your PC uses. You should be fine --- just make sure you have a European plug adapter.
*****Caution ***** not all electronics work this way --- but PC's and cell phones do. |

I have a small dual voltage hair dryer and a dual voltage plug which goes into their electric outlet and allows you to plug in your appliance. I bought mine years ago, but I have seen them at the airport in the duty free area.
You must switch from 110 to 240 because if you don't you kill your appliance.
