European power supplies are at a different frequency than the U.S. which is 60 cycles per second. Also, their voltage and amperage is different. I believe their average voltage at the outlet is at 250 volts AC. But, with heating devices, you should only have to worry about the current and voltage. Frequency shouldn't matter.

Voltage converter/transformer for hair straightener?
i was going to travel abroad, and i know my US device is incompatible with european voltage, so i was going to buy a transformer. but, i read that you're not really supposed to use a transformer for heat devices? why is this? because the transformer doesnt convert frequency? has anyone encountered a problem when they did use one? i have no other option so i'll be buying one unless anyone really warns otherwise...Voltage converter/transformer for hair straightener?
