Can I use this on a 300w flat iron?

I really don't know if you can or not...my husband has his big guitar amp plugged into it and it works ok.

My wife has been using it for 270W and there has not been a problem. Since it's rated 300W you may be able to use it, check with the manufacturer.

I have never tried, but I guess it should work since it is right in the limit of the converter.

Hello Marilyn...It is best to get one a bit bigger than the wattage you will need. If your iron has a lower setting than 300W that might be OK.

It should work if you buy the one with the US cord, you might need an adaptor because they only take uk plugs in. 300W should be ok. They get very hot when stepping up (from 127V to your 220V) so have it on an opened area and don't leave it completely unattended (just in case).

Nothing I see is stated about that. It does state, "universal voltage for worldwide use." It does specifically say, that you are NOT TO USE THIS WITH ANY VOLTAGE CONVERTER! The last answer is wrong for this flat iron. Possibly It converts automatically. Here is a telephone number I found on the brochure where you may get some better answers. Good luck. 1 770-552-8000 (they are located in Atlanta Georgia.)

Brigide, it depends on the power of your appliance. Theoretically it can not be used with more than 3000w. I would rather have some leeway (about 30% more wattage than needed for the appliance).

I'm not sure. I live in the United States and traveled to Australia and it worked great. It I'd duel voltage so it should work. I love this flat iron! I loved it so much, that I purchased another one. Sometimes they stop making a favorite item and I wanted a back up just in case. I take this flat iron anytime I go somewhere it's such a convenient size and works great!

Yes it can! I wouldn't recommend the highest setting on your flat iron or curler, but it can handle the heat!

If you try to draw 3,000 watts through this dimmer, you will cause it to be IMEADIATELY overheated. It will melt before your eyes, and you are risking a house fire if you try this. I have owned one of these for about 5 years, and it works great, but NEVER used more than 300 watts with it.

By being a 300W converter, it means that it can support up to 300W. Since the combined wattage of your sewing machine and lamp are 115W which is less than 300W, this converter should work fine for you.

No. It supplies a constant 8.4 amps at 13.8 volts. It will supply 115 watts which is nowhere near your 300 watt heater. Be aware that it will shut down if current draw is more than 70% of the ratings on the box so it is truly an 8.4 amp power supply, not a 12 amp. For your 300 watt heater at 12volts, you'll need to use a power supply that can supply 300/12 or 25 amps. Since Pyrimid is so creative with their claims, you would need one of their power supplies rated at a minimum of 37.5 amps to supply a constant 300 watts. In general you will find it expensive and inefficient to convert house current to 12 volts then heat with that power. You will be much better off to buy a heater that runs directly from house current. You'll get more heat, you won't lose the inefficiency of the power supply (only 60% efficient) it will be cheaper, and probably more reliable.

No. If a power supply says it's 300w, you will actually get less than that.

The iron works on 110 W and 220 W and there is 5-6 different adaptor plugs. It works amazing !

The max continuous wattage of the unit is 300 watts. Check your hair drier, flat iron, etc. It would be a very small dryer or flat iron that would not exceed the limits of this device. At 600 watts, you will blow it's fuse which will put you out of business until it is replaced.

Check the wattage drawn by the flat iron. The unit I purchased is for 50 watt. That is NOT a lot of power (think light bulbs). We used for charging laptops and cell phones.

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

I wouldn't know, never got to use it because it came in broken pieces. I invested in a better quality flat iron. Bought Izunami.

No. And the company sucks. Look elsewhere and overestimate your watts by 50%. So go to 300 watts.

You can but your hair dryer won't work well. I bought a 220 watt hair dyer years ago and use it instead.
