can i use this with a hair dryer that has a reset button (ACLI ground fault interrupter]??

Since this device only has two prongs on the output, if your dryer has three prongs, you will have to have an adapter. I have personally never seen an appliance with a GFI (ground fault interrupter) on it but if you have that you will have to test it on a non-grounded outlet. Get a three prong to two prong adapter and see if it works.

I don't see any reason why not. This just adapts the prongs and has nothing to do with downstream ( what you plug in) appliances. As with something that requires so much wattage... you might want to check and see if the wall socket has a GFI on it in case that gets tripped, should your hair dryer GFI not trip.

this would not work with heating element devices, we could only use it to charge cell phones and computers and even then it melted down after a few days

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.

I don't know. I have the Andis hair dryer....sorry, hope you find your answer.

All kidding aside, if you really want to do that, you better use a GFCI outlet. (GFCI = ground fault current interrupter)

I connected to my AC outlet and able to use. It should work with dryer outlet too but careful since its 240v

Probably not, sensor in bottom detect positive pressure from dryer, this starts the fan.

My answer is yes, it is better use a converter, which is quite inexpensive these days. I got mine at TJ Maxx. I never used my hair dryer without a converter, so I do not know what will happen if you use without it. Hope this helps.

I would think so. This unit just extends the existing electrical circuits, so you would still have your ground fault protection. However, if the ground fault function in the main outlet was activated, you would need to remove the surge protector to access the re-set switch.

You can't. It's defective. Conair keeps selling these defective hair dryers and won't refund you. Hopefully you only bought one instead of the two defective ones that I bought. :(

It is grounded but does not have a reset button...don't think it is needed on this...

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

It has a 3-prong plug so you may need a plug adapter (I don't know what type of plugs are common in India). If your wife's hairdryer can handle 220V then it should work fine. If her hairdryer is only compatible with 110V then it will probably get fried. It seems that most of the newer ones are compatible with both 110 and 220.

No,you would have to get a small converter. However, this same line has a travel hair dryer that is.

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

I'm not 100% sure, but beleive the breaker is on the reel. I know it is NOT on the plug. That said, I have never had to reset the breaker, but have blown the 20 amp house breaker. . . Go Figger . . .

Get the specs on the motor. The socket should be able to handle 15amp routinely. The power should be limited to 110V + 15A, which is about 1500 W (VA). The only issue may be when the motor turns on. If the bearings are worn, there could be a spike in the current when it turns on. So, if the motor is good (or new) -- which you can check using one of those Watt Meters -- and you limit the power to about what a hair dryer uses, then you are ok. Hope this helps

Honestly, I don't know. But I suggest you look at your hair dryer to see if there is information on it about voltage. If that doesn't work, trying asking an electrician.
