What Wattage Converter Do I Need?

Choose a converter rated for at least 25–30% more watts than your device draws — for example, a 1500W device needs a converter rated around 2000W.

Find the wattage (W) on your device label. If only volts and amps are shown, multiply them (V × A = W).

Add headroom so the converter runs cool: required watts ≈ device watts × 1.25.

High-wattage heating appliances (1500W+) push past what most travel converters handle safely. For those, a dual-voltage travel model is the better buy.
