Can I use my clothes iron in Iraq?

Using a clothes iron in Iraq


Whether your clothes iron will work in Iraq or not depends on two things, the voltage supported by your clothes iron and the type of power plug of your clothes iron.

Will my clothes iron work in Iraq?

  • First check if your clothes iron can run on 230V, the voltage used in Iraq (read how). If your clothes iron can run on 230V, you'll just need the right power plug to connect to the power sockets used in Iraq.

Does your clothes iron have the right power plug?

Your clothes iron runs on 230V? Great news! Now you'll need to make sure you can connect it to the local power outlets in Iraq. We've listed the power outlets used in Iraq below. If they don't look familiar you'll need to use a power plug adapter.

How to check the voltage of your iron

Single voltage irons will have a single number such as 230V or 110V. If this number matches the 230V used in Iraq, you can use your clothes iron in Iraq.

It is also possible that a single voltage iron supports a small voltage range such as 220-240V or 100-120V, which means that the iron can handle small fluctuations in voltage. As long as the 230V used in Iraq falls within this range, your clothes iron will work in Iraq.

Dual voltage irons, such as travel irons, will list a larger voltage range separated by either a dash or a slash, for example 100-240V or 100/240V. If this is the case for your iron, you can use it in Iraq, because dual voltage travel irons can be used in all countries.


What if my iron doesn't support the voltage used in Iraq?

If your iron does not support the 230V used in Iraq, it's probably best to go for a travel iron. This is the cheaper option compared to buying a voltage converter.

Voltage converter

A voltage converter enables you to use your own clothes iron and other appliances with the 230V outlets used in Iraq. However, voltage converters have several drawbacks:

  • A voltage converter will convert the voltage, but you still have to check if the voltage converter comes with plugs that will fit in the outlets in Iraq. If they don’t, you still have to get a power adapter.
