Can you use an 1875 wattage blow dryer with this adapter while in Italy?I thought I read somewhere not to use blow dryers above a certain wattage.

The adapter worked fine. My daughter used it for her iPad, laptop computer and cell phone. She didn't use with a hair dryer. Hope this helps.

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

Italy has 220V outlet so no you cannot use it in Italy unless you have a plug adapter and converter. You can buy travel hair dryers that have power adapter plugs or some small button you can twist to change voltage.

If the flat iron or hair dryer have tags or instruction manuals on them or for them with the information it will tell you what the voltage can be, if it states 110 (120) to 220 (240) then you can use them BUT if it does not state that or if there is no tags or instructions then do not plug them in-examples are laptops-mine is on the adapter clearly stating the input can be 110 to 240 and I have used them for my laptop, my phone charger has not information on it so I will not plug it into that socket adapter

Hi Pam, I should work fine. I have used it in Spain, France, Italy and Pakistan. The best blow-dryer i've used so far. I even bought the american version it's so good!!

I'm not sure about an adapter but as with most electronics you will need the voltage converter. Because of the price of this dryer it may be cheaper to just buy a new dryer while in Australia.

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 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.

Hi, i think so. I have an adapter kit that I keep in my suitcase for this reason. But I travel to France and can't remember what the prongs are like in Italy. I think they may be similar. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer.

It is an excellent and powerful hair dryer.I used it in Gubio, Italy. The hotel had to give me a three prong adapter for the dryer.

watch out with blow dryers over 1875 they will die on you, anything under that it is excellent.

I would not use on hair dryer. Just my opinion. 1875W is roughly 15.6 amps. I believe the specifications said 15 amps and I do not want to take any chances. I use it for a microwave which is 1500W, so it is around 12.5 amps. I also use it on a toaster, and other small appliances.

I used this in Italy for two years with just the adaptor and although it worked, it did get really hot and would turn off on its own...I suggest you use a converter! I never did and when I got back to the States it broke:(

I'm not sure what the electrical standards are in Italy. I only used it in France. What I found in France was that though this has two dryer settings (high and low), only the high setting worked when using the dryer there while both settings worked in the US. I'd recommend you research to see if france and Italy have the same standards before purchasing. Hope this helps.

I used mine in France and Italy for a curling iron where it worked perfectly. When I used it with my 1875 watt hair dryer, it turned off after about 5 minutes. I thought it was broken but it worked fine again in a few minutes. I'm guessing it got too hot and needed to cool down. Good product--Enjoy!

Have not taken it to Italy but have taken it to the UK. The *voltage* (not wattage) in Europe is 220-240v at 50Hz which this dryer will function at; the US voltage is 115-120 at 60Hz. The switch on the dryer handle has a 115/230 choice. Set it to 230VAC. Remember to also obtain a converter plug like "Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for Italy (Type L) - 3 Pack" available on Amazon. The US plug on the hair dryer will not fit any European outlet.

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.
