Voltage converter/Step down transformer?

[humpty]

Anything more than 100W (which yours is) needs a pretty bulky step-up transformer,
(see : Step Up Transformer, Step Down Transformer, Step Up Voltage Transformer, Step Down Voltage Transformer )

Looks like DJ008's advice is sound.

There's a hair-straightener here for about $150 :

if the item has an external transformer, ie, wii, routers, portable items, better to change the official transformer (120v ver) to a locally supplied (240v) one or even a third party one ( as long the milliampes is higher and the voltage is the same then it's fine )_

Not sure if you've already purchased the transformer. I have one sitting in my closet that's practically brand new. It's a 1500W that I bought when I first moved here from the States.

PM me if you're interested. I'm located on HK island as the unit is pretty heavy.
