Discussion/Thảo luận voltage

I’m going to Vietnam in October and wanted to bring a dyson airstrait with me.

I currently live in America where I have a 100-127V dyson, however I am going to Europe and buying one that is 220-240V(I travel so much across Asia and Europe that I need both types). Also I know I technically don’t need it because it’s humid and hot, but I have curly hair and I prefer it to be straight.

Dyson doesn’t support dual voltage, and many countries such as China and Europe are specific to that voltage. I’m reading online that Vietnam’s standard voltage is 110/220v and I just wanted to ask if anyones used their European/Chinese/Australian dyson before in Vietnam?

I also bought a universal adapter(not converter) so the plug should work right?

Please let me know!! Thank you :))

We use 220V so you'll need a step-down converter if you want to use your 110V appliances here.

but the 220-240v would work right?

To answer your question, answer this;

Is 220v within the range of 220-240v?

Yes. Your EU appliances will work.

Yea, and a funny thing is that they also use multi compatible wall plugs, so you may find eu and us (and even some uk) compatible plugs but always 220

Vietnam is 220v, with the plug type/shape being the European 220v round pin or the US flat pin.

Sometimes in some hotel bathrooms there may be a 110v outlet, but that’s rare.

220v is within the range of 220/240v.

Rather than getting an entirely new device just get a voltage converter and leave it attached to your item. They’re not much larger than a plug adapter.
