dual-voltage
Works both internationally
Dual-voltage describes electrical devices designed to operate on two different voltage standards, typically 110-120V (North American) and 220-240V (European and most other countries).
Hair dryers, laptop chargers, and travel adapters are often dual-voltage, eliminating the need for a converter when traveling internationally: Check if your charger is dual-voltage before you go.
