How do I choose the right voltage converter?

On the back of your appliance you will find a label that describes the power requirements.  This may also be in the appliance manual.  The label should include the Wattage (W) or the Amperage (A) of the appliance.  Take note of the Wattage (W) or the Amperage (A).  

If the label does not specify the wattage, but you know the Amperage (A), you can calculate it using the following formula: Amps (A) * voltage (V) = Watts

Example:

5 Amps * 220 volt = 1100 watts

6 Amps * 110 volt = 660 watts

To be safe we recommend that you pick a voltage converter with three times the Wattage (W) or the Amperage (A) of the appliance.   Check out our voltage converter appliance guide for recommendations on which converter to purchase.
