110/220 volt? Hi! Can someone tell me if this dryer can run both on 110 and 220 volt power? It should say on the handle. Look for "110/220v." Thanks!

Hi Sishab! I ordered it anyway, and yes, it is 110-240v :) It's working great.

I am interested to know as well. I want to buy and take this to Europe with me!

it's made to be used in the states on a 110. When i lived in Europe, I kept a transformer in the house and used that with all my 110 products. Don't use an adapter...make sure you use a transformer with enough voltage so you don't fry your dryer

It is dual voltage (you can change the voltage with the button on the handle). You need the adapter so the plug will fit into the various outlets out of country. The adapter is used just for outlets. The voltage (dual voltage) keeps you from having to buy a converter. Your question seems to combine two different things. Adapter are to plug into the wall. Converters change the voltage going into the appliance. When out of country if you can't change the voltage 120 (US) to 250 (other countries) you will burn up your appliance. On this dryer when you change from 120's to the 250, like the other person mentioned, it will only work on high.

I am in US and use 110. I don't know if it's capable to use 240 but it might have a converter that I didn't see. I'm out of town right now but will be glad to check in the box when I get home end of week. I love the dryer and my hairdresser even got one and loves it.

it is for that voltage in ireland/scotland, but it will not work with 110 volt appliances from the USA. You either need to buy a converter that will change the voltage (I think they are pretty expensive) or you need to buy appliances that are dual voltage. I went to dublin in January, and I was able to get a dual voltage hair dryer from Walmart for like $20. My cell phone charger was fine, but just make sure it says both voltages or else it can melt your appliances!

No. They may make a dual voltage but the unit I bought from Amazon is 110 to 125 Volts AC with an ALCI safety circuit breaker. This is a very nice, high quality dryer.

If you have a proper converter, you could probably use it without blowing it up. I have used hairdryers and curling irons with a converter on 220 V electrical outlets before. Since this is not a very powerful beater, it might not work as well on 220 V.

These style transformers are for use on single phase circuits. Your dryer being 220v may require a two phase circuit. This time I would consult a licensed electrician. It's not necessarily a big deal (meaning a costly thing) but if the heater requires 220v two phase power, then that's what it needs. Many of those house fires like we've seen all winter on TV news are caused by mismatching wiring and heaters. Please, be safe and call a licensed sparky! Kia ora. GW

Yes it will work on all 110V-120V kitchen appliances and dryers that are gas. it won't work on all electric dryers, they are 220V so it won't work for them.

I'm not sure. You will be able to use a converter, but you would have to check the wattage I believe....Great dryer...

As for the Japanese model, the voltage is 100 volts specifications. The United States is 110-120 volts. Therefore, I recommend that you use the transformer when you use this dryer.

Hello . There are 110 volts of electricity. It hooks up to a standard socket. Unlike that of a dryer. Hope that helps. P.s. I have the colored ones and there beautiful around the holidays.

I'm not very knowledgeable with electric components - but I asked my husband and he said 220 is what our clothes dryer runs on. He said the piano is plugged into a regular 120V outlet. I hope that is helpful!

Have not taken it to Italy but have taken it to the UK. The *voltage* (not wattage) in Europe is 220-240v at 50Hz which this dryer will function at; the US voltage is 115-120 at 60Hz. The switch on the dryer handle has a 115/230 choice. Set it to 230VAC. Remember to also obtain a converter plug like "Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for Italy (Type L) - 3 Pack" available on Amazon. The US plug on the hair dryer will not fit any European outlet.

It is a 125V, 60Hz dryer that runs on a standard US outlet. If you need to ask the company any questions, their email is info@andisco.com.

Yes, This dryer takes 220 volt power. You will need to purchace a power cord with a 3 or four prong, depending which outlet you have.

If your dryer plug looks different from most of your other plugs it's most likely that it's running on 220 Volts. Reason for the 220V is you can't get more than about 1500 Watts of power into a 115V appliance (like your toaster or toaster-oven). A clothes dryer requires more than that to dry in reasonable time.In which case the answer is an unequivocal NO - this device is NOT designed for 220V appliances. And there is NO chance for finding an adapter either. Why would you want it for your dryer anyway? A dryer comes with a pretty fancy control dial which is what you're supposed to use.
