that what I thought too - but even after calling Voltage Converters they said that their's would work - I have a two pronged 220 converter (bought for Croatia) also, which I'll bring along just to be safe.

I try not to carry a voltage converter as they are heavy. I have dual voltage travel set of hair curlers, hairdryer,curling iron and camera charger so I just need the round prong plug adapter. Are your sure you need to take a heavy voltage regulator?

I have 2 different voltage regulators and they are both very small but they are heavy for their size. One has a high-low switch and will operate curling irons where the other one won't. The ones on the website you mentioned are 3/4 lb and 2 lb. None of them have the high/low switch and that is the only one my non-dual hair appliances would ever work with. I have a concourse(50-1600w) and a travel smart(0-1875 w with the high/low switch) but no longer travel with them because I decided to buy dual voltage appliances so I don't have to carry an extra pound of weight in my luggage. They are available at KMart, WalMart,etc. in the luggage sections. I think if you go to the store and pick one up you will be surprised at the weight.

the ones I have for Croatia, Mexico and italy weigh only 0.08 lbs - not sure where you're getting your information. The ones I have are very small and light - and carrying a two pong and three prong in my luaggage is no big deal.
