Need to know which adaptor, transformer or converter to use in another country?

by David on February 9, 2006

I came across this easy interactive guide which took most of the guesswork out of trying to figure out which adaptor to buy for the countries I’ll be traveling to next month……will I need a converter? or a transformer?…..is the local voltage 110 or 220?

Yesterday, I made the mistake of going to my local AAA retail store where not only were the products not clearly marked as to which country it would be applicable to, but the employee was not even sure if they even had an adaptor that would work in Bulgaria–a complete waste of time on my part. I should have know that an online search would have given me a much more expeditious solution.

Recently introduced by Magellan’s, this ‘Electrical Connection Wizard‘ selected the adaptor plug set that I need after just a few quick steps. After asking which type of appliance I need to power, the guide determines the plug adaptors (s) needed and whether a transformer or converter is required. In a few minutes time I had my answer.
