While I was in the military, I had several assignments to countries that used 220 volts.
First thing after getting there was to purchase several 220-110 volt converters for my 110 volt devices.
These were always simple auto-transformers. They were either a metal or plastic box ( depending on power rating) with a grounded Euro 220 v plug on a cord. On the box was a polarized grounded 3 prong 110 volt socket. If everything is plugged in the way it should be there are no problems with auto transformers.
