Do I need to buy an adaptor and a voltage converter to use the dryer in Australia?

I'm not sure about an adapter but as with most electronics you will need the voltage converter. Because of the price of this dryer it may be cheaper to just buy a new dryer while in Australia.

Here in the US the standard is 110V with a couple of breakers set up with 220 for the dryer and such. You can tell a 220 because they're the ones with the big plug with tines that come out in a triangle. I believe the EU uses 220. Adapters have to be used when you jump the pond.

If you have an outlet adapter you should be able to use it, this dryer has an American power cord. I hope this helps you.

Yes, but you'd need a converter (a bit more expensive than an adapter). In fact it all depends to which country you want to go to. For exemple I live in France and I had to use a converterto transform to lower volt. Because the dryer doesn't do directly to 220V on the socket.You must use a converter outside the US otherwise your dryerwill burn out.PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

The dryer requires a 3-wire or 4-wire 240 volt outlet. The washer uses a regular 120 volt outlet with ground.

It is dual voltage (you can change the voltage with the button on the handle). You need the adapter so the plug will fit into the various outlets out of country. The adapter is used just for outlets. The voltage (dual voltage) keeps you from having to buy a converter. Your question seems to combine two different things. Adapter are to plug into the wall. Converters change the voltage going into the appliance. When out of country if you can't change the voltage 120 (US) to 250 (other countries) you will burn up your appliance. On this dryer when you change from 120's to the 250, like the other person mentioned, it will only work on high.

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 is ready for USA outlets...no adapter is needed. I'm not familiar with Australian outlets.

I have this blow dryer, bought it from Amazon & I live in Italy/ It works also in Switzerland. It has two prongs for an outlet. I am not sure if it works in AUS. It is for standard European outlets.

The device does not have a dual voltage option like some other dryers. Since its origin is in the US, I'd recommend against using it in 220V countries.

I image searched Australia power sockets and, at least the US version I have, will need an adapter. Preferably grounded. However the power cords on the Festools do detach, maybe you can get an Australian power cord?

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

Overseas you can go to 2500 Watts (250 Volts x 10 Amps), BUT. if you have a 110 fold hair dryer and it is not dual voltage then you will blow it out without a transformer (aka convefrtor). http://www.travelchicks.tv/technology/travel-adapters-and-converters/ has a nice video explaining this.

You can buy them on this site as well. Here is one you can buy: http://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Universal-Adapter-Australia-Zealand/dp/B005JK6J06/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418250373&sr=8-3&keywords=us+to+australia+adapter Just search for US to Australia/New Zealand adapter. I'm not sure if the pump is dual voltage. If the pump is only 110v-120v you'll need a transformer since I believe it's 240v in Australia.

Clothes dryers need 4000W. This one is only capable of converting up to 500W. Not sure you want to move major electronic and other appliances to the U.S. unless they can run on 110V.

This is the right adapter for US devices to plug into Australia/New Zealand power outlets - I've used many of them myself in Australia. But remember it does not convert the power. Some devices (e.g., hairdryers) will also require a transformer to convert the local power to something the device can handle, otherwise it will burn out (danger!). US devices are built for 110 or 120 volt input, while NZ will be supplying at 220 or 240 volt. Read the fine print on your device's power supply cord or owner's manual to see what type of voltage the device is expecting. Other devices (e.g., laptops and mobile phones) are more flexible and accept 110 to 240 volt input, so you'll only need the plug adapter for those devices, but read up on your models to be sure. In short, use plug adapters for physically getting your plugs into the outlet, but also take a 240 to 120v transformer (step down transformer) for any devices that expect 120v input when the supply is 240v. Happy travels!

I'm not sure. You will be able to use a converter, but you would have to check the wattage I believe....Great dryer...
