I am dissatisfied and haven't been able to use it. I eould like to return it. I am a professional hairdresser/ salon owner and it is too weak.

The plug is an American outlet. If she ordered from an I termational site then it will be a European outlet.

I've oredered the same dryer twice and to my surprise, the second time I received the dryer with an European plug! It cannot be used in United States since it has a different voltage (220w). I have no idea what made the difference in the order since it doesn't say anything about European usage! It came from Spain, so I never returned it.

It's a standard American 2-prong plug. One prong is slightly wider than the other. It should plug into a std. US outlet.

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.

It will plug into the adapter fine. Mine did. I will warn you though. My dryer sounded as if it might be getting too much electricity--sounded very funny. I ceased using my dryer and used the one that came with the room. The adapters work for everything else. Believe me, I had the same question, but again, it plugs in fine. It has extra space for other types of plugs.

Nope, you do not need an adapter to plug it into outlets in America! It's an awesome hair dryer! I've been using this hair dryer for years!

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

No this is for overseas use only it will work in USA if you have 220v line in your home normally we have for AC & dryer in home in USA .

The power adapter is meant for the USA so the question is what type of adapter do you need to get power devices in the USA to work in whatever European country you are in or traveling to. This question is more generic in that you would face the same issue with a hair dryer or coffee pot that was made for use in the USA. I am unaware of the voltage in European power grid, but my guess would be you would need an adapter to get the plug to fit in a European outlet even if the voltages are the same.

It is a 125V, 60Hz dryer that runs on a standard US outlet. If you need to ask the company any questions, their email is info@andisco.com.

If you have an outlet adapter you should be able to use it, this dryer has an American power cord. I hope this helps you.

It is dual voltage (you can change the voltage with the button on the handle). You need the adapter so the plug will fit into the various outlets out of country. The adapter is used just for outlets. The voltage (dual voltage) keeps you from having to buy a converter. Your question seems to combine two different things. Adapter are to plug into the wall. Converters change the voltage going into the appliance. When out of country if you can't change the voltage 120 (US) to 250 (other countries) you will burn up your appliance. On this dryer when you change from 120's to the 250, like the other person mentioned, it will only work on high.

Not sure what you mean by US Plug ... is this in contrast with a EUR (European) plug? I would presume it is a US plug.

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

It fits in a 'regular' 220 plug -- the type that has one of the flat prongs turned 90 degrees from the other prong. It also has a 'regular' 3rd prong for the ground. It doesn't need the heavy, angled type of plug an electric dryer uses.

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.

Ours came ready for American electrical power. I think in Europe you will need a converter to use this product.
