If I live in the States and I am going to Europe, which foreign voltage adapter will I need for the following:

Question

1. a George Foreman gill
2. an X-Box gaming console

For each, will I need the 50W or the 1600W. Thank you.

Answer 1

be careful, I am from the usa and i now live in europe. none of my appliances work properly (the ones I brought with me) even with the proper adapter. its actually a transformer that you need and they are quite large and costly. its not worth the hassle to bring american electrical products to europe. the ones i did bring (hair dryer, shaver, battery charger) have all developed problems so ive given up bringing stuff back here

Answer 2

It depends. Most countries are on 220-240 V. Basically you should use the 1600. Note that you need different types of converters/transformers for "electric" items and "electronic" items.

Here's a very informative site about adapters, plugs, etc.
