Moving over in a month and wondering about buying converters here in Norway Some things are so cheap that you'd be better off buying new ones for use in US only. If you have a 220v-only hairdryer, just buy a new 110v one in Canada; if you have a dual voltage one, just use an adapter plug. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1] More info | Jul 22, 2006 10:25 | #8 You cannot convert the frequency of line voltage (cheaply)! The device must be suitable for the frequency. A simple hair dryer would merely spin more rapidly at 60Hz; a computer which converts line frequency to DC voltage (with no frequency) would work fine as well. Something using line frequency as a timing tools like a 50Hz television would NOT work (even ignoring the TV transmission differences in line resolution).
