Travel is expensive … and not just because of an ongoing oil crisis and shortage of the raw materials for jetfuel! Plane tickets are a big part of your travel expenses, but all those little things really add up. Having to buy separate appliances for use overseas has caused many a traveller to curse the drive towards individuality of countries that use different voltages, different frequencies, PAL instead of NTSC, and different plug types … as they trudge drearily through the city streets, unshaven and feeling drab! Today we are looking at four appliances that have saved many a traveller's good spirits.
This travel hairdryer is a lifesaver for those of us with hair that tends to fall however it likes, stand up randomly, and generally look wild and frizzy without heat-based taming. It works on all voltages and either 50/60Hz frequencies - as they have an electric motor and generate heat, standard hairdryers aren't usually compatible with overseas power. This model comes with a European plug, so doesn’t quite have the convenience of multisystem LCD televisions, but converters are readily and cheaply available.
This product is great for trimming both beards and mustaches, so you don't have to look like a caveman just because you’re away from your native voltage! It has fine tooth precision blades and is voltage and frequency equipped for worldwide use.
This precision shaver and trimmer is a must for those who maintain a clean-shaven look for business travel. It is also extremely affordable - you get the price tag of a single product with the functionality of two.
This electric toothbrush is absolutely top of the line, taking all the work out of complying with the dentist's boring orders! It has a timer and pressure sensor. It is only for use in 220-240V countries, however converters are available.
