Rechargeable grooming devices are far less voltage-sensitive than heating appliances, because the voltage question sits in the adapter and most modern Philips adapters take 100-240 V -- check the adapter itself rather than inferring from the /49 part number, which is simply the North American SKU.
Full details →Who the ghd Gold Professional Styler 1-inch Hair Straightener is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants consistent, even heat at a temperature chosen to limit damage.
Avoid it if: Anyone who wants adjustable temperature, and anyone who has not confirmed the 230 V variant.
Who the Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 Trimmer is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting one device for beard, body, nose and ear grooming.
Avoid it if: Anyone who only trims a beard -- a dedicated beard trimmer does it better for less.
