How can I use New Zealand appliances in the US?

Question

Electical appliances use when traveling to the US. Need a transformer or converter maybe but I can't find anywhere that sells something like that so I can use my cell and laptop in the US. Everything they sell is to convert US appliances to other countries!!! :(

Answer 1

Yes, here is the place you can buy it.

Answer 2

Your laptop and cell wont need a transformer. They have switch mode power supplies and will work on both 240v and 115v, so NZ and US. You just need a travel adaptor.

Answer 3

They will have converters at the American airports and malls because the NZ appliances won't work in the US

Answer 4

Do you have a Dicksmith Electronics Store or something like that?

I could tell you 5 places within a 15 minute drive from my computer chair that you could get what you need. I'm in Australia though....

Answer 5

Most airports will sell this or eBay.

Answer 6

Are you in NZ now? Go to d**k Smith either online www.dse.co.nz or their actual shop. You can buy  a converter easily enough - just make sure that you tell them that you want a converter and not just an adapter.

Oh, and your laptop should switch power supplies easily enough. Best thing to do though is to find out if you need a screwdriver to move the little button! You don't want to find yourself hunting for a little screwdriver when you have arrived.
