Can this dryer be ordered to be compatible with electricity that is used in Italy ?

Yes it can. It has an adapter that will take it to cover the voltage in Europe. WhT you will need now is a plug adapter for Italy. You can find them at an elwctrical, hardware or electronics store.

It has worked well for me. No problems even in Italy, using the extra prong-thing to adapt to their outlets.

It appears from this map that all of Europe is 230 V, 50 hz. The dryer should work as long as the current supplied can keep up.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weltkarte_der_Netzspannungen_und_Netzfrequenzen.svg

I connected to my AC outlet and able to use. It should work with dryer outlet too but careful since its 240v

I assume so if you use the appropriate converter for that country. I don't take hair dryers with me, I always use the ones provided by the hotels. For my other appliances, such as shavers or curling irons or brushes, I use the converters and haven't had an issue.

It plugs into my car through a power port. Not a direct 120volt house plug in.so I don't know if you can use it in Italy or not...

Italy's power is 220V, so you will need to use a 110 to 220V power adapter before you plug it in, and don't forget that there is no standard socket in Europe and they can vary from lean Italian to sturdy German and French to absolutely ridiculous UK plugs and sockets, so you will need an adapter too.

I don't know. I returned the dryer because the higher power setting didn't work.

Yes, it can be. Just hook up to the line and neutral wires. Not sure why you would want to. A new hair dryer complete with a GFCI attached would be less expensive than just this device by itself.

I honestly do not know because I don't know about the outlets/voltage in Italy. I do know that I couldn't use my iron in Argentina unless you had a special adapter I believe but you should contact the company directly about that. I'm sure they would be able to help.

This is a plug adapter from just about any type of plug to a plug type common in Italy. This will not work in the US; you will need another plug adapter for that. However, you could plug in something that has a plug type from the US into this converter and be able to plug the converter into an outlet in Italy to use it. Also, be aware that the amount of power that a typical plug in the US outputs is different than in Italy, which means that you may need a voltage converter as well since this particular plug converter does not include a voltage converter.

I found this article helpful when addressing that question for myself:http://goitaly.about.com/od/travelpackingtips/l/bl_electricity_italy.htm

Good question. It is a US plug. I don't know what plug Italy uses. But whatever it is, with a converter you should do fine. I've done all right with a converter in Asia and England. It's the best travel steamer I have ever found!

As previous replies mentioned, only if your dryer is dual voltage as this is not a converter. Also note that many places in Israel use the "European" socket that takes two round prongs, but some have a socket that is three round plugs in a pyramid configuration. Best bet would be to buy the two-prong power strip & just buy a three-prong plug adapter if you had to.

I wouldn't use any blowdryer in Europe that didn't have a switch to change current. Even if it does you must run it on a low speed and heat and use a plug adaptor also. I think I would purchase a dryer intended for use with foreign current- lots of travel dryers have this capability. This is such a nice blowdryer, I would hate for it to burn up and then you have NO blowdryer. Also My daughter just traveled to Italy and many people recommend to just buy a curling iron or straightener there, as those types of appliances can't be switched to European current. Also you need a plug adaptor for any American appliance anyway,even one that converts.

The dryer states "125V AC, 60 Hz, 2000 W", so my guess is no. An adapter may work, but it's always best to check with the manufacturer before buying this if you intend to use it with a voltage that it wasn't designed for.
