I'm from the US traveling to Israel with a hairdryer (120 VAC 60Hz 1300W) and a curling iron (125VAC 60Hz 79W), will this product work for me?

My guess is that it should work, I've used mine in Europe and it worked fine. Hop this helps maybe someone who's been to the Middle East would know more.

I suppose it should be okay. I use it with single burner electric stove which use a lot of electricity too. Besides it says so in the description.

no. you'll need an adaptor but blowdryers in general are too strong for the adaptors and they usually burn out. I'm a hairstylist that has worked overseas often. If it's important for you to use a blowdryer overseas, it's best to buy one over there.

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.

The Helen of Troy curling iron specifies 120v only. Europe current is 240v. As a result, the device will only work in Europe with a voltage converter and a round prong plug. Curling irons that will work on both voltages are available. Converter plugs are still required to fit the wall plugin. Look at each device to see if it specifies Voltage 120v to 240v.

will this hair dryer work in dual voltage? 125-240v? in countries outside of America

It's just an adapter. I suggest buying a hair dryer (and checking your other electronic devices) that can handle a range of currents 120-240v. Otherwise, you risk buring out the device.

It should as far as I know but remember this is an adapter not a convertor. Whatever you are plugging into this has to be able to take 240 volts. Most electronic devices do take both 120 & 240. My wife bought a curling iron for our trip that took both. If your equipment only takes 120, it will be fried.

Turkey and Greece both work off of 220. You would use the 2 prong round with your U.S. Cords plugged into it. I would be very careful running your hair dryer, though. Use the low setting if you can. Normally the high setting will cause it to blow and you won't be able to use it any more. The curling iron should be fine. If you're only visiting those two countries you won't need to take any of the other adapters. Have a great trip!

it's the power of the plug/voltage. first you need to check which power your country's plugs support. if it matches with the curling iron voltage, you can buy it.

I'm not sure, but I'd be careful. The UK also has different a voltage. It can support ipads, smartphones, and laptops with no problems. But if you're thinking about plugging in a hairdryer or straightener, you're better off finding one on amazon (or over at the UK) that is designed to handle the higher voltage.

Yes, I think so. If your device says 110/240 or something close to that, this adaptor will do the job. We did use it in Ireland. Also note, that all hotels we stayed in throughout United Kingdom provided hair dryers in each room, so you may not even need to take a blow dryer. We didn't and each hotel had one in the room.

It is my understanding that it will work with every current on the planet, it has many different options for settings & plugs. I have only used mine in Europe, and I use in here in the US all the time with a curling iron that is not being sold here, it works very well.

Depends on what part of Asia. Some parts have 220 volts which will fry that adapter. Other areas have slightly less than here and usually enough to drive a hairdryer, but it may not operate that device as powerfully as you want. Check the outlets with a voltmeter or ask the people there, before you plug in anything!

This Hair Dryer has two settings, 125V for regular US use and 250V for the other countries. So Travel away! ALC

I am not exactly sure what you are asking. I live in the United States and I just plugged the curling iron into a regular wall outlet in the bathroom and it works great!

Yes, we used it in Australia and all over Europe. Yes, you do need an adapter plug. The prongs of the outlets are quite different. We found you often have to hold the curling iron upright ( in a vertical position) and hold the "on" button for a few seconds, but it does work. I have purchased two of these for other travel friends.

What is the wattage of the curling iron? If it exceeds the 300 watt rating on the transformer it will not work. Many curling irons have a switch for dual voltage use 120/240. If it can be switched to 240 you don't need the transformer.
