Nah, Nick!! Hate to be pedantic, but many people read these posts and plan
etc accordingly!
In fact! Most (ALL in my experience) small appliances - shavers, laptops,
radios, ipods, mobile phones, cameras etc cheerfully accept all voltages
from 100v to 250v; they're designed to do so.
Check the plug - it will ALWAYS have the voltage or voltage range
acceptable. It IS a small world!

hi , like joseph said, u don't need a voltage converter
just a universal plug type converter
electrical appliances are made for
1) 110v
2) 220-240v (mostly asia and europe)
3) 130v (japan)
so your stuff is certainly workable from 220-240 range.
