The most important aspect when purchasing a travel iron is discovering firsthand whether you can use it when you travel to another country. With the danger of damaging your travel iron, blowing a fuse or even causing an electrical fire by getting this information wrong, regular travelers need to be aware of the voltage which is to be used at each of their destinations. This is simple to do but, if you purchase a specific travel iron which offers a dual voltage, all you will then have to do is take a power adaptor with you on your travels to accommodate such outlets.
