As long as the V used in Cuba falls within this range, your clothes iron will work in Cuba. If this is the case for your iron, you can use it in Cuba, because dual voltage travel irons can be used in all countries.
It is important to note that some dual voltage irons will handle different voltages automatically, while others have a switch that you can use to choose the correct voltage.
So if you have a dual voltage iron, make sure to check how it handles different voltages. If your iron does not support the V used in Cuba, it's probably best to go for a travel iron.
This is the cheaper option compared to buying a voltage converter. Travel irons are specifically designed for travel, lightweight, often with a folding handle and capable of handling different voltages.
