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 didn't 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 wouldn't recommend this for traveling. As for regular use, it doesn't open that much to straighten and the curler doesn't grasp your hair enough to hold it for a long time. So I am returning it because it didn't work for what I needed it for and it's not that great for home use either.
