I bought a hair dryer in London and brought it to the states. It's a 1680-2000 watt, 220-240 volt device. Will this work?

You'll need the 3000w model as the transformer itself requires 20% reserved power to operate.

Yes, it works. But make sure your dryer or curling iron works in the range of 110 - 220 volts (usually hair dryers don't) because if doesn't it will burn. Europe electric grid works with 210 volts, and that is too much for electric divices that only work with 110 volts (like the ones in the US).

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

This hair dryer will work in India. There is no issue with voltage because it will work on 230 volts which is the voltage in India.

No, 220 volts is what you would use for something like a clothes dryer. This just plugs into a regular wall socket which is 110 volts.

It plugs into a regular 120-volt outlet. The Watts is 200, which is about 1/8 of a regular hair dryer.

I assume this is for overseas use? Make sure the items are the correct voltage before attempting to plug into these adapters. Curling irons and hair dryers will work IF they are the right power voltage. The device should specify 100 - 240v or just 220 - 240 if using overseas.

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

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.

This strip works perfect for 110V and 220V in Canada and SE Asia however...I only use it for cell phones and tablets, camera charges, etc. My understanding is that hair dryers have different power requirements so you should speak to a tech person or electrician. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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 have this appliance and like it very much. It is my second one in approximately 15yrs. It has a US-style electrical plug; which is to say it is designed for use with 120VAC outlets. I have successfully used similar dryers/curling irons with adapters while traveling in several western European countries and elsewhere in the world and don't remember any problems - but only while traveling. I can't say if this will work well on a long-term basis. Good luck!

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.

It should as far as I know but remember this is an adapter not a convertor. Whatever you are plugging into this has to be able to take 240 volts. Most electronic devices do take both 120 & 240. My wife bought a curling iron for our trip that took both. If your equipment only takes 120, it will be fried.

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

It may if you have the converter. I'm assuming you're talking about using it in Europe. May want to contact the manufacturer to verify that. I've have good luck with some items using the converter plugs but my wife had a hair dryer go south on her using one in France.

i see many different answers posted here, the bottom line is you need to know what amp your dryer is. look at the picture of the extension cord and look at the plug on your dryer if the prongs match this cord will work. there are many different plugs out there for 220 powered appliances. in my case the cord is used for a 20 amp. 240 volt garage heater, not a dryer and if i had a 30 amp heater this plug would not work. before you order please compare the cord plug or ask a friend or nieghbor that is familiar with electric power for advice so that you don't make a poor purchase.
