Here's why you may need a voltage converter

Noukchott uses a voltage of 220V, while Colombia uses a voltage of 110V. Because these differ, you need a voltage converter for devices that are not dual voltage.

Nowadays, many electronic devices like hair styling tools or chargers for a laptop, phone, iPad, tablet or e-reader are dual voltage, but you should always double check this before using the device in another country.

You should be able to check the small print on a device or power adapter to see if it's dual voltage or not. If you see 100-240V 50/60Hz printed on the device or power adapter, it is dual voltage and will work with all voltages and frequencies used worldwide. If you don't see this, you need a voltage converter to use the device in Noukchott.
