I bought a hair dryer in London and brought it to the states. It's a 1680-2000 watt, 220-240 volt device. Will this work?

You'll need the 3000w model as the transformer itself requires 20% reserved power to operate.

Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer. If you are traveling, the wattage in Europe is 220/125. To change the voltage you would have to purchase a very expensive and heavy voltage converter (which people used to do years ago before dual voltage hair dryers and other appliances). Two choices: one, buy a dual voltage here and then buy the various plugs for each country, or purchase a dryer in Europe which is not dual voltage, but only for European plugs. I purchased one in Paris and another in London many years ago, they work great. Good luck (Conair makes a cheap one that works)

The specs say it won't work with hair dryers or straighteners. You will need to find another (more expensive) model that can handle appliances with a heavier draw. The Conair TS2000 2,000-Watt High/Low Converter may work for you.

It has a 3-prong plug so you may need a plug adapter (I don't know what type of plugs are common in India). If your wife's hairdryer can handle 220V then it should work fine. If her hairdryer is only compatible with 110V then it will probably get fried. It seems that most of the newer ones are compatible with both 110 and 220.

If you simply plug your 120V hair dryer or curling iron into the wall in Europe with this converter, you will fry them instantly. It will only convert your US-style prongs to EU-style prongs. It will NOT convert the voltage from 240 to 120. You will need a transforming converter for that.

The max used of any adapter is 5 amps in most countries. The adaper is loaded with a 5 amp fuse for europe use. If the hairdryer works with your own socket outlets its more than likely it would. I cannot veryfy the wattage as itis 1 1/2 kilowats which is slightly heavy for any adaptor. Suggest you check the adaptors website and follow what they recomend

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for £9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X

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)

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.

Hi Susan yes this hair dryer will work in china & any country 220 volt.ThanksJackie

It says 1600 watts. That's 14 amps at 110 volts or 7 amps at 220 volts. But it did not work with a 1500 watt hair dryer at all and it "killed" my wife's curling iron. Read the reviews. I would not recommend this unit for converting 220 V to 110 V. As an adapter to use dual-voltage devices with different outlet types it is OK.

This switch is intended to be used for a 120 volt low current devise like a table lamp. Your dryer uses 240 volts and draws very high current and uses an entirely different plug.

Not sure if it will work. It didn't work with me under 220V with my hair straightener . Sorry

I assume this is for overseas use? Make sure the items are the correct voltage before attempting to plug into these adapters. Curling irons and hair dryers will work IF they are the right power voltage. The device should specify 100 - 240v or just 220 - 240 if using overseas.

The dryer is dual voltage but I think you still need an adaptor appropriate for England.

No. This converter is only for 100Watts. Your hairdryer needs probably 1000-1500 Watts. I have now clue about curling irons, but I assume it also needs more than 100 W. Look on the curling iton. It's power needs to be stated on it. You would need a stronger converter for your intended uses. Type in "converter" and the Watts you need and add 30-50% for safety in Amazon. The converter you would need will be too large for travelling!

Overseas you can go to 2500 Watts (250 Volts x 10 Amps), BUT. if you have a 110 fold hair dryer and it is not dual voltage then you will blow it out without a transformer (aka convefrtor). http://www.travelchicks.tv/technology/travel-adapters-and-converters/ has a nice video explaining this.
