Plan to hook up an electric dryer in my US apt, std pwr outlets are 120v, electric dryers are 220v or 240v - will this convert 120v to 220-240v dryer?

Would not try it- this unit worked for about 6 wks and burned out 2 appliances that were quite expensive

Yes this step up power transformer will provide the required volltage for a 220 - 240 dyrer but I am not sure what the watt usage of the dryer. The power supply will only support 1500 watts but proably a little less that published value. Make sur to find out it the wattage requirement of the dryer before purchasing the pwer supply to make sure it will support the dryer.

110V. That is the standard voltage in the US. 220V is only for large appliances like dryers, in wall air conditioners, etc.

I don't know - but a lot of hair dryers have a switch/button that says 120/240. My daughter took her hair dryer and simply turned the switch. You do need to get the wall adapter because are plugs are different. She said it worked fine. Hope this helps

I think it is 120V. It is made for use in the USA and we only use 240V for clothes dryers and larger appliances. This is made to plug into regular USA outlets. Sorry, hope that answers your question.

Standard household wiring consists of 2 phases of 110-120v. a standard 220-240v outlet uses both phases to get the higher voltage. If you are in the USA you will have no problems.

You need to ask an electrician. I just plugged mine in to a standard American 110 wall outlet and it works great. Oh and both washer and dryer run and works on the same outlet at the same time.

This dryer has a little switch on the handle (the circular black disc below the dryer switch) which will allow you to choose 125V or 220V. The setting I received it at is 125V (in USA). You will need a travel adapter, but other than that, it is meant for dual voltage, so it should work. I usually use the dryers the hotels have, haven't bothered to carry one with me. Hope this helps.

Not directly because most newer dryers require a 4 prong receptacle while this units needs a 3 prong 240 Volt Repeptacle. However it is easy to have your local electrician make you an adapter which will alow you to plug this chrager into your existing dryer receptacle if you dont want rewiring. Understand that household power consists of two separate 120 volt hot legs. to get 120 volts you use one hit and one neutral. to get 240 you use both hot legs with no neutral which is how this cahrger is wired. The dryer uses both 240 and 120 volts (240 for the heating and 120 for the electronics) so they have a receptacle with two hots and a neutral.

This dryer will need a 220v outlet. You will need to purchase either a 4-prong or 3-prong dryer cord depending on your outlet.

Be cause its 220 capable it does not come with an outlet plug like a dryer but you intall any 220 you need fpr your home. You can use a standard 110 plug but its difficult to weld on 110 volts and if you make sure you switch the set screw switch fron 220 - 110 volts

No you will not need a converter. You will have to switch the dryer unit to 220 for use in any country besides Us & Canada. However you will need an adapter to plug it into the wall. That's all. I used this while in Africa for 3 months

In 120V mode it works with a standard outlet. The plug that comes for 220V is a three prong 6-50R style plug. This has the much thicker tips. On the standard 14-30p 220 dryer plug the lager blade goes to X, the smaller blade goes to y and round ground plug is ground. If you make an adapter just omit the L shaped blade labeled W on the 14-30P side. There is a chart that gives you a wire Guage size to length for an extension cord. Take into account distance from dryer out let on the wall to breaker panel and the breaker size.

If you simply plug your 120V hair dryer or curling iron into the wall in Europe with this converter, you will fry them instantly. It will only convert your US-style prongs to EU-style prongs. It will NOT convert the voltage from 240 to 120. You will need a transforming converter for that.

These are just plug converters. They do not change the voltage. Some appliances or devices can take either the 120V (American) or 220V (European). I used these for my iPad and iPhone because the chargers work with either. Your hairdryer might have a voltage switch on it, especially if it was designed for international travel. Otherwise, best not to chance it without a voltage converter as well.

No, it won't, this is for a 110V lower wattage appliance. True, the plugs for 110V vs 220V appliances are different. This works well for a regular grounded plug/small appliance, but you have to check the watt limit for the plug and the appliance. The thing about a dryer is it is almost always 220V (V for volts), regular small appliances are 110Vs. An electric dryer or stove uses alot of electricity, and it must be plugged into a higher power 220V outlet, this switch works only with lower power 110V appliances and outlets. Confusing, but important...

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. It is dual voltage (you can change the voltage with the button on the handle).

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.
