Voltage converter needed in Bangladesh?

In Bangladesh the standard voltage is 220 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Bangladesh, because the standard voltage (220 V) is (more or less) the same as in the United Kingdom (230 V). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. So you don't need a voltage converter in Bangladesh, when living in the United Kingdom.

To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for chargers of tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc.
