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 2nd day of a 12 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.
