Hi, I misspelled it. It's WiGo. I'm seeing them for sale on amazon.com, but they are much more expensive than what I paid. It'd still be worth it though.

I know some are saying it won't work well. It works. It's not like your regular flat iron, but it did the job.

Conaire make a wonderful curling iron...DUAL voltage, which works fine with either 110 or 220,,, Just plug it in whatever country you are visiting (but use the proper adapter for that country of course). You don't need a converter.
Someone probably makes a similar dual voltage flat-iron.
You can get the curling iron at Target, WalMart etc.
Also these stores , and others, sell adapters for various countries,,,usually several in a kit.

Sorry to jump in this thread- but does the same theory go for camera chargers? I am studying abroad in Prague this summer and will need a few electronics.. I was told that a converter and adapter will do the trick... but I really don't want to fry my camera battery!! Does the advice to get a dual voltage curling iron apply to other electronics as well? Or just the "high heat" types??

As already mentioned, if it says anywhere on the power "brick" that you plug into the wall socket 110v-240v, then you DO NOT need a converter, just a plug adapter to adapt your plug (power brick) to the wall socket.
