    Anyone know where to get a voltage converter - from US to EUR please ?
    Not the plug adaptors now (available in Deal) - a proper voltage converter.

    What do you need it for?

    In majority of cases it is much easier just to get a power supply that works with local voltage and frequency...

    I don't get you. It's for a hair straightener. No alternative power cords available

    Step down transformer is what you need.

    Not recommending Maplin as they are generally expensive, but for the purpose of indicating what you require see below

    Try amazon, but be aware they have different ratings. Can't imagine a hair straightener having a large load but I could be wrong.
