broke first time used [SEP] i bought this to take on a trip to switzerland because needed a dual voltage curling iron to be able to use there i had an adapter as well when i went to use the curling iron the first time i plugged into my adapter in the dual voltage slot and it came on but then almost immediately went dead i could not get it to work at all since we were only on the day of a day trip i had to throw it away and went without a curling iron the whole trip i would not recommend this product if you are taking it out of the country
