voltage converters

[carpedeium]

I'm traveling to Bali and it was suggested I use a transformer over a voltage converter. Does anyone use a transformer and could fill me in on this. 
Thx

You didn't say what you are trying to power, but many electronic items these days have a universal power supply. All you need is the correct plug or a plug adapter.

More info from you could probably get a more informed response.
