It's not a converter. You can attach it to a converter and use your products.

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.

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).

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)

No- you should not bring any heating device- blow dryer, straightening iron, etc.... they will FRY and DIE!!!This is not a electrical converter- the volts/amps different. This is only for allowing your counties plug shape to fit into and then it fits into their wall outlet. If you want to convert power you need a power converter which run around 50$ and really not worth it unless you travel a LOT. I just for-go the hair stuff all together and let my hair do what it wants! Who cares? you are on vacation! donna

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

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.

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).

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for £9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X

No, you do not need an adapter and voltage converter. It works pretty well in U.S., and it is one of the most efficient and useful hairdryer I have ever had. My roommate usually borrow it from me.

I answered you incorrectly, I'm so sorry. I looked at the wrong flat iron. This is NOT dual voltage. Just a suggestion, don't buy one and get a voltage converter! I made that mistake once and it ruined my flat iron on the first use. Buy dual voltage or an inexpensive one when you get there (which is what I ended up doing). Good luck safe travels!

This dryer has a little switch on the handle (the circular black disc below the dryer switch) which will allow you to choose 125V or 220V. The setting I received it at is 125V (in USA). You will need a travel adapter, but other than that, it is meant for dual voltage, so it should work. I usually use the dryers the hotels have, haven't bothered to carry one with me. Hope this helps.

Not a converter, but will need an adaptor plug for Italy's sockets. Look online for a picture of the plug formation for different European countries. Easy to find..e.g.The Container Store or other travel websites. There is a spot on the dryer where you can adjust it for the power...220 volts in Europe

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 is a plug adapter, not a transformer. If your flat iron can work on 220 Volts - that's all you need, otherwise you need a transformer. I myself had to take a transformer with me for the hairdryer. But this plug adapter was enough for the computers and cell phone chargers.

Another thought. You can plug the following converter into a 220 V circuit to run 110V US electronics. Simran 1875 Watts International Travel Voltage Converter For 110V USA Products In 220V/240V Countries. Ideal for Hair Dryers, Phone, iPod, Camera Chargers and Shavers Etc. Model SM-1875
