In Poland, can I use a 500-1600 watt converter there for laptop, hair dryer, and hair straightener?

If it helps, the brand is Jensen. I just don't know if the watts match up or if I'll blow a fuse if it's wrong.In Poland, can I use a 500-1600 watt converter there for laptop, hair dryer, and hair straightener?
The question is imprecise. The Jensen converter works for appliances of 500 to 1600 Watts power (e.g., it would not work for a freezer). The power is specified on the appliance itself. The actual conversion refers to voltage - in the US it is 110-120 Volts, while in Poland and the rest of Europe - 220-230 Volts. For example, if you travel to Poland from the UK, you do not need a voltage converter, just a plug adapter.In Poland, can I use a 500-1600 watt converter there for laptop, hair dryer, and hair straightener?
The laptop probably only needs a $2 plug converter, most of these will run off of 100-250 volts. But check your documentation to be sure.



Hair dryers, you can get ones that have a switch to switch between 120 volts and 240 volts. I have a hair dryer like that. The same with hair straightener. Then you just need the $2 plug converter.



I'm saying, you really don't want to buy an expensive converter, and lug it all around, it is heavy. It is probably cheaper to get appliances that run off both voltages. Or just buy new ones in Poland.

Well I think you need a different type of plug there they have plugs that look like this: take this web sight and Goggle it good luck

so i hope you get the idea what it is like
If you flying from USA you have to buy adapter becouse convertor on the voltage in the USA is 110-120 V but In Poland they have 220-230V .
Probably
