Default Holiday UK appliances in USA

said

Will things like electric shavers, hair dryers etc. from UK work
straight from the mains (using the 2 flat pin adapter) in USA? Does
one need a "step down" transformer / voltage converter?


Have a look at the rating plate on each item. Lots of modern items are
dual rated while others have a switch to select between 110V and 230V.

If it doesn't say the item will work at 110V then you need to make other
arrangements.
