Power Converter

i have no idea which ill need....can anyone help advise me? thanks a ton!
You need plug adapters. The devices you mentioned, usually come with universal power adapters that work on 100-240 V and 50/60Hz. All you need is an adapter that allows your plugs to fit the sockets in those countries.

It's an issue of electrical anatomy, of matching male and female parts.
