Plug adaptor for uk-usa

lindseykim13

I am looking to take my phone charger and hubbys shaver to florida but confused over, plugs, transfomers etc
What will i need to take to be able to use these out there?
I have been looking at the adaptors but some seem to be rounded pins others flat?

Flat ones for USA. You won't need a transformer for a phone - they are designed to work on both voltages, being portable and all that. Cheap and cheerful UK -> North America one from any supermarket will be fine.

Shaver plugs are the same both sides of the atlantic.

Failing the major supermarkets, you can buy the adaptors at the airports.
Probably a bit more costly at the airport but guaranteed to find it.
The Americans have a lower voltage compared to UK/European ones.

get yourself one of these, only £2.47 think I have seen them for £1.99 in Morrisons but that was a while ago. I travel quite a bit with work and these always do the trick. Has two different heads for US and other countries.

No problem charging a mobile or a shaver in the US both adapt to the supplys in both countries.
