Can this be used with a USA hairdryer I want to plug into an indian socket? Otherwise what else do I need?

The Targus adapter will allow you to plug into any Indian socket but will not reduce the 240 volt Indian power to 120 volt like we have in the US. That's OK for your laptop and cell phone but, if your hairdryer is not designed to work on both voltages, you could burn up the blower motor.

I don't know what voltage is used in India. Some hair dryers you can change the voltage on. It the voltage is different it will break your hair dryer.

this is made for a 110 outlet you will burn the hairdryryer up if you use 220

The manufacturers usually say that the converter cannot be used with hair dryer or iron type of appliance. I have never tried. If you're traveling where you'll be in a good hotel, most provide you with either hair dryer, OR have a converter to use with USA appliances. Some USA model hair dryers have switchable voltage (as do electric razors), and ARE able to be used with the converter- as long as the dryer is switched to the 220v setting.

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

This should be able to power a hair dryer however I would check the wattage output on the hair dryer if it is less thanow 1500 watts you are good to go just remember to only have the hair dryer plugged into the inverter

I am not sure but we used every on of them - for hair dryer, charging our phones and our computers, curling iron. It was a must to have. I believe it will work with anything that you would normally plug into a regular outlet here in the states.

Yes, but make sure items you will plug in to this are 110V-240V. This DO NOT changes voltage. Let's just say your computer or phone will work( charge) just fine as they are 110V-240V but your hair dryer will burn

no. you'll need an adaptor but blowdryers in general are too strong for the adaptors and they usually burn out. I'm a hairstylist that has worked overseas often. If it's important for you to use a blowdryer overseas, it's best to buy one over there.

This is a dual voltage curling iron, so I would imagine if you bought an adaptor plug that is specific to India, then it should work. Mine, with a European adaptor worked great in Europe.

Depends on the outlet in India, if it is adopted from UK, then it will not work

Used hair dryer in London.. Very heavy over a pound. Comes with replaceable 5 amp glass fuses to protect delicate computers. My guess is yes. Bring a 10 amp fuse in case. Converter is a beast, should handle a fan cooler.

According to the manufacturer, you should be able to. There is a small screw-like button under the controls on the hairdryer that you turn to the correct voltage.

Yes. Your US plug fits into the adapter, and then you can plug the whole thing into the UK socket. Works fine for smartphone, laptop. NOTE - if you're using this for a hairdryer, curling iron, etc., you will also need a power-voltage adapter. I've found it easier (and safer) to just buy a travel hairdryer, curling iron, etc. through Amazon that can handle US and UK voltage.

You could, but remember it is only good for small devises i. e. electric razor, tooth brush. Do not try to plug in a curling iron or hair dryer. Hair dryers are 800 watts this transformer is capable of only 150 watts. When going to Europe you cannot use any heating device on their system from the USA.Cell phone and computer chargers will operate in Europe using just an adapter.

You would need a converter, not just a plug adapter. But if it has some kind of battery charger, you can look on it and see if it goes up to 240 volts (UK-Europe).

It doesn't have an adaptable plug and its very similar to a hair dryer so I worry that it would spark or something. I would try to buy one with a UK plug.
