Buying Dual voltage appliances in Japan 2014/7/7 14:38
Hi

Are there any dual voltage appliances in Japanese shops? What sign/words should I look out for on the package?

Thanks in advance! :)

Not usually unless it's an item aimed at people who might travel with them overseas. For example, my wife was shopping for hair straighteners and a lot of them were advertised as dual voltage. What exactly are you looking to buy?

Well could be anything interesting since japanese products are generally very creative. :)

Well portable electronics and toys that require chargers usually are universal voltage. So if you are looking for say mp3 players, you'll have a lot of selection. But if you are looking for appliances, or anything that runs off of mains power, those are generally not offered as dual voltage.
