This is a quality hair dryer, very quiet and seems to be gentler on my hair than other hairdryers. I highly recommend it.

A better question would be: is a 1875 watt dryer better than a 1500? Does it actually dry faster? Is one healthier for your hair? Watch out for claims made by manufacturers. If most dryers are 1875, then most manufacturers will boast that feature. I can only tell you my experience. It is extremely quiet and has good velocity. It gets plenty hot for me yet not as hot as some other dryers I have used. I like that because it does not get scorching hot enough to damage hair. Overall, it is a great higher end dryer, at a lower price heye at Amazon.

What has Watts got to do with this? I was seeking "quiet". I had a dryer that was labeled and was quiet. When I wanted to get a new dryer, I sought the quietest dryer I could find and one that was endorsed by those who had purchased the same dryer. I did buy it and it was the quietest dryer. Both dryers, regardless of wattage, dry hair the same and there is no noticeable difference, and they are both quiet, the newest one the more quiet than the older one. And that's why I bought "this one".

It doesn't seem to take any longer to dry my hair with the Q Zone, and it is so much quieter! I am very satisfied!

I bought it because it was quiet. It has more than enough power to dry my fairly thick hair.

Because it works and it is quiet than most. I even use it on my dog - she likes this one better.

In my tests, the average hair dryer was much louder than 80dBs on High: many were over 100dBs on high when measured 4 inches from the motor. This Centrix was the quietest one I tested, when on the Low setting (78.93 dBs), and the 3rd quietest when on High (88.77 dBs). But it was the weakest one of them all -- only 1500 watts. I tested two other models that were quieter on High, and they were both 1600 watts.

The manual says 1300. Less than some hairdryers. Interestingly, the UK version seems to be rated at 2200 watts: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intex-Inflatable-Portable-Jacuzzi-Complete/dp/B00DX6OJ2I

The dryer takes 2000 watts. I don't know what the conversion is- but this is the best dryer out there!

I own a barber shop...at the shop i use the deluxe model.it has more watts. At home i use the original it is perfect for home use. I have used these dryers for 33 years, they last a long time. I think you will be pleased with the original.

The Oster Professional Hair Dryer is dual wattage. 1200 or 1500. Mine was pre-set to 1500, but you can switch to 1200 under the removable lint cover.

The hairdryer label says 2000W. It is an AWESOME hairdryer. I have very thick hair and it dries very quickly without any heat damage. I have purchased three of these hair dryers (dropped one and smashed it on a tile floor). I use one and have one tucked away for the future. it's the best hairdryer I have every used!

This unit is rated at only 500 watts. Using an 850 watt steamer will overheat it or blow the fuse. Look for a 1500 watt unit by the same manufacturer. It is not much more expensive but will have plenty of power for anything you need. My 500 watt unit has been very good. But you should know that these units are heavy and bulky.

No. This converter is only for 100Watts. Your hairdryer needs probably 1000-1500 Watts. I have now clue about curling irons, but I assume it also needs more than 100 W. Look on the curling iton. It's power needs to be stated on it.You would need a stronger converter for your intended uses. Type in "converter" and the Watts you need and add 30-50% for safety in Amazon. The converter you would need will be too large for travelling!

I doubt it. It didn't last long before it over heated. I ended up buying one with more watts that has lasted me twice as long as this one. I wouldn't recommend it especially if you want to use a blow dryer.

If the hair dryer is rated 220-240volts and it consumes 500watts of power or less, then it will work. Dryers are usually high energy consumers because of their heating elements so I wouldn't recommend you using a dryer on it. It's more suitable for household electronics

You need to look at how many watts your blow dryer is and then buy one of these accordingly. If it is 850 watts then buy the transformer that's rated to 1000 watts. It's probably cheaper to buy a hair dryer in Europe.

1900 Watts. The warm setting is good for short hair and the regular setting is great for drying long and/or thick hair. It's lightweight feature is another added plus as most professional level dryers are heavy.

I don't have that answer its left at my salon. All I can say is that its a powerful blow dryer get very hot. Light weight And I've used it professionally for 8 years this is my 3rd one.

The unit I have has 1600 Watt raging on it. A 1500 watt appliance would be pushing the upper limit.

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
