Im looking for a portable device that will power small appliances such as a hairdryer on a boat when shore power isn't available. Will this do it?

I would need to know how much Watts your hair dryer will use. If its under 400 Watts then this will work.

It will work off of a battery. It is 12 volts and works with a battery or running motor. So good for boating purposed all around. Hopt this helps some and take care.

Certainly. As long as you have 120vac shore power available to power this device, it should do the job.

This device is not contain a battery. So you will need a fixed power source.

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!

I used mine on a river cruise ship that had the standard 2 prong, European outlet. It heated as expected but I didn't get much use of it. Unfortunately for me, the cord wasn't long enough to get to where I needed the pad! I will continue to carry it with me and keep my fingers crossed that I'll have outlets in more useful places on future trips.

This will work with phones ipad etc..but for heat appliances make sure u have one that says that it can convert to 110 from 220 ( like travel iron straightener or hair dryer) or just buy an Irish hair dryer

This unit is designed to recharge your trolling motor batteries from the DC alternator built on to your boat motor while your motor is running. This unit is not a shore power unit nor is it one that charges batteries from a 110 outlet.

We use it on you boat which has both AC and DC current. It is an absolute wonderful piece of equipment.

The adapter works great with mobile phones, but you need a power converter for appliances. I plugged in a small portable white noise machine using the adapter and it was blown out immediately, never worked again even back at home in the US. All the hotels during my trip to Italy had hair dryers. I did without any other appliances. Hope this helps.

When I Travel I run A fish Tank pump,500 w heater, Heating pad for the wife, charge her cell phone her I pod sometimes all at one time no problem (cooling fans don't even run)As good as A PURE SINE I don't know what your idea is for a lot of electronics. If you mean A LOT as in A LOT I would say NO.

It is portable in the way that you can use it in many room or take it with you when traveling. It does have a cord so it is not a good solution if you lose power. I think this would be best in an RV or maybe in a hotel. Hope this helps!

Yes. My boat has an automatic on-board charger. Any 12volt automatic charger will work.

I have owned several and they are safe to leave unattended on my houseboat in the winter, but always plugged into a grounded wall socket. They pull too much voltage to plug into a cigarette lighter i would think. could drain your battery very quickly and maybe even short out the heater.

I agree that this will good in emergency situation. I don't have it yet, but if we had full batteries, It could use for charge our mobile device. And for power supply, we could buy a solar panel that has that kind of jack plug. Let try! I think I will order it.

Yes would work great I power mine with a 12v car battery all night when out fishing , the light must , must be in the water or it will get to hot and burn out quickly
