I didn't know this when I was younger, we were travelling in Europe and I had a laptop that I charged in the bathroom b/c it had a 110v outlet. I told my friend when we returned home and he told me about the voltage range. 
Otherwise, yes, a step down transformer should work (although, you said "big ass converters", maybe they are already using them), they do come in different sizes. |
The whole idea is to get rid of the big ass converters as they take up countertop spaces... and he needs to check on the wattage every time he uses something from Canada to make sure the converter would be able to handle it.
So, when I told him how simple it seemed the 220v plug conversion I did, he wondered if it was possible to make the other way around in China so he can use electronics from here or Japan with ease as long as they are in the converted plug.
