Will this work for a 220 volt dryer to run on 110 current?

Check the wattage demands on the dryer and get a transformer that suppliers an additional 1000 watts... That is, if the dryer requires 2000 watts then this one will do it. If it needs more then get a bigger one. I have two of these and they both work very well for my needs. I use one for power tools I brought from the UK and the other for TV's and Computer equipment I also brought with me.

I really can't answer that... that is a large wattage device. My use was to run computer equipment which has been doing very well so far. I'd say check the watt requirements on your equipment and expect it to use more on the startup. Hope this is helpful.

No this is for overseas use only it will work in USA if you have 220v line in your home normally we have for AC & dryer in home in USA .

The voltage is 250/125, so either setting you can use the low or high. I don't know the wattage, as it didn't matter to me. I was more concerned with the dual voltage aspect of the dryer. Hope that helps!

No.Standard dryer outlets are 30 amp rated outlets (usually). This cord is set up for 50 amp outlets.

Clothes dryers need 4000W. This one is only capable of converting up to 500W. Not sure you want to move major electronic and other appliances to the U.S. unless they can run on 110V.

NO!!!!!! because the motor is 115vac@60hz if their was a selector switch you can select it too 220vac@50hz the plug is a 3 prong type just like for your 220v dryers etc you have to make a long cord on top of the cord that is on unit however it is not contact bissell for details on this product if they do or do not. thk's

I am not 100% sure but if your adapter would allow for the conversion to a regular 110 outlet it should work. Hope this helps

I wouldn't try it. Check their voltage and buy a dryer that matches. I've ruined one dryer and friends have ruined dryers using converters. Lots cheaper to buy a voltage appropriate. Our dryers are too strong!

It's a standard 120-volt grounded outlet, so if you mean a hair dryer then yes. But not a clothes dryer of course.

I may not be qualified to answer this but here is my take on your question. Whatever your appliance draws on the 240v side it will be double on the 110v side. If you plug the transformer into a wall socket it may only be rated for 15 or possibly 20 amps. If your 240v dryer is going to draw any more than 7.5 amps (which it probably will) I would not use the transformer as you will probably blow your circuit breaker.Regards,S

Another thought. You can plug the following converter into a 220 V circuit to run 110V US electronics. Simran 1875 Watts International Travel Voltage Converter For 110V USA Products In 220V/240V Countries. Ideal for Hair Dryers, Phone, iPod, Camera Chargers and Shavers Etc. Model SM-1875

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!

For sure not! Maybe this voltage works for hair dryer but not for big appliances like yours even a TV uses no less than 750W.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I use typical USA current which I believe is 110. 220 would be the outlet for the dryer in a house. 220 is also the current normally used in many foreign countries.

This is a 200 watt converter and you hair dryer is likely between 1200 and 2100 watts, so no, that would be a bad idea.

Yes, but you'd need a converter (a bit more expensive than an adapter). In fact it all depends to which country you want to go to. For exemple I live in France and I had to use a converterto transform to lower volt. Because the dryer doesn't do directly to 220V on the socket.You must use a converter outside the US otherwise your dryerwill burn out.PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

this is made for a 110 outlet you will burn the hairdryryer up if you use 220
