Would this work for a dryer? I have the amps to power the dryer but just not the right receptacle for the 120/240v appliance.

Your dryer is 30 amps and at best, a 110 outlet is 20 amps. This means it will almost certainly trip your breaker. You will need to run a dedicated 30 amp circuit for your dryer.

Not directly because most newer dryers require a 4 prong receptacle while this units needs a 3 prong 240 Volt Repeptacle. However it is easy to have your local electrician make you an adapter which will alow you to plug this chrager into your existing dryer receptacle if you dont want rewiring. Understand that household power consists of two separate 120 volt hot legs. to get 120 volts you use one hit and one neutral. to get 240 you use both hot legs with no neutral which is how this cahrger is wired. The dryer uses both 240 and 120 volts (240 for the heating and 120 for the electronics) so they have a receptacle with two hots and a neutral.

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 converter to 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 dryer will burn out. PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

Not sure this is big enough for a washer/dryer. Need to find out how many watts and voltage your washer/dryer require and see if this transformer will convert that much. I bought it for a curling iron, electric razor and a blow dryer I bought overseas and brought home to the States with me.

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

I think it is 120V. It is made for use in the USA and we only use 240V for clothes dryers and larger appliances. This is made to plug into regular USA outlets. Sorry, hope that answers your question.

No, specs manufacturers website says 10.2 amps, any 15 or 20 amp 120 volt receptacle should be fine.

Hello, the short answer is no. THere are several 220 volt outlets. The plug on this unit would not fit into a dryer outlet, its a 20amp. I am assuming you could change the plug or adapt it. Google a 220 volt 20 amp and a 220 volt 30 amp plug you will see the difference. Good Luck.

I would not use on hair dryer. Just my opinion. 1875W is roughly 15.6 amps. I believe the specifications said 15 amps and I do not want to take any chances. I use it for a microwave which is 1500W, so it is around 12.5 amps. I also use it on a toaster, and other small appliances.

it work with a regular 110 v outlet up to .25 inch think steel... if you want to weld thinker steel then you need to use 220 v like your dryer uses.

I would think so. It is a 220 volt dryer with the two pronged European plugs, though those do vary so the adapter might be necessary.

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.

I looked at the safety instructions and it said "Standard Dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts A.C." I hope this helps.

Hello, This 15 foot cord is rated at 15 amps. It your hair dryer is rated at that level or below, then you should be OK. That information should be either on the dryer or the box. If it doesn't show amps, the amps can be determined by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: 1500 watt dryer divided by 110 volts (typical U.S. house current), then you're pulling 13.6 amps, and you would be OK in this example. Dryer wattage varies considerably, so just to be safe, check it out. Hope this helps you!

Yes it will work on all 110V-120V kitchen appliances and dryers that are gas. it won't work on all electric dryers, they are 220V so it won't work for them.
