does not work for travel [SEP] i bought this to use in italy and it did not work with a regular adapter even though it says dual voltage it actually blew the fuse on the adapter so i tried with a standard voltage converter and that did not work either it kept turning off so then i tried with a dual voltage converter and when i turned it on high voltage it worked for about a minute and then started making a popping noise so i turned it off i would not recommend this for traveling as for regular use it does not open that much to straighten and the curler does not grasp your hair enough to hold it for a long time so i am returning it because it did not work for what i needed it for and it is not that great for home use either
