I bought it to use in Cuba but didn't need it at our hotel. But when Imbought it, I thought it would be good to use in Europe. So I hope I can use it there but have not had that opportunity.

I tried the hair dryer at home (USA) AT 120v and also on Europa 220v.. worked great both places.

I think so. According to the user guide, it does. It worked in Italy, Spain, and France.

Yes if you use the proper adapter for that countries electrical plugs. Worked in London for sure on our last trip and a friend used it in Rome and in Spain.

Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer. If you are traveling, the wattage in Europe is 220/125. To change the voltage you would have to purchase a very expensive and heavy voltage converter (which people used to do years ago before dual voltage hair dryers and other appliances). Two choices: one, buy a dual voltage here and then buy the various plugs for each country, or purchase a dryer in Europe which is not dual voltage, but only for European plugs. I purchased one in Paris and another in London many years ago, they work great. Good luck (Conair makes a cheap one that works)

Yes, I think so. If your device says 110/240 or something close to that, this adaptor will do the job. We did use it in Ireland. Also note, that all hotels we stayed in throughout United Kingdom provided hair dryers in each room, so you may not even need to take a blow dryer. We didn't and each hotel had one in the room.

it does not work on the Older style outlets in Italy...in almost every hotel that is not very new and modern. I just got back from 3 weeks in Italy and it did not work in even one hotel I stayed in...at they numbered about 10 hotels. I was very glad I bought this item-http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YL6HY6/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 it worked in Older Italy....It also works in some other countries as well....I think Croatia, Turkey and the like.

It works for almost entire EU. So assuming that it should work in Italy. I am not sure for "Specific" Italy.

If the power is 220 to 240 then the answer is yes, provided you have the proper adapter. We actually have two one for the US and one for Europe. This is an excellent Hair Dryer.

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 very much doubt it. It is made for U.S. power which is 110. I think if you want it for use in Italy, you would have to buy it in Europe where they have 220 volts.

I used mine in Germany two weeks ago. Operated/charged a MacBook (the white brick plugs into it with the standard 2 prong plug), an iPad, and an iPhone at the same time. It plugs right into the Euro wall boxes. I also use it the same way here in the states. Am not sure why it wouldn't work for a hair dryer. It will not work for anything that has a 3 prong plug, only 2 prong plugs.

Yes, I have used mine in Venice, Barcelona, Lyon, and Sicily. Yes, you will need a plug ADAPTER . so you can get it into the wall plug with nothing changing. You do NOT need a converter since is already conforms to Europe's 240 vs. USA 120. Most hair dryers do the same, and so do most telephones and computers. If the appliance says 110-220 or 120 - 240 or something like that -- close enough -- electrical power in US fluxuates between 110 to 120, so it's fine. Just buy the $5 conveter plug which takes the US plug straight and changes it into the round ones. No electricity changes.

Hi Diane - I believe you will need a converter or adapter in Italy as purchase the adapter is not included.

I think you need the adapter and the converter. One plugs into the other to form a unit. Otherwise you risk not only damaging your equipment but also either tripping the power in the apartment or even worse. And, yes, every place I stayed in Italy had hair dryers. Check into that because it seems to draw more current than anything else.

Yes! You will need a European adapter/plug-in, and use the dryer on the lowest wattage setting. I used this on the higher wattage setting and accidentally blew out the power in the villa we had in Italy. Easy to fix but embarrassing.

Yes and no. It will work with *some* outlets in Italy. Most hotels will have two types: the standard 3-pins in a vertical row Italian outlet, and the 2-pins in a recessed circle outlet that is a EU standard. This will only plug into the EU-style outlets. The hotels I stayed in only had 1 EU-style outlet, and I had to search the room for it! (one was by the thermostat, and the other was under the desk (vs. the 3-pin outlets at desk-height). Hope that helps! =)
