can this adaptor be used for curling irons?

Yes, it can be. However be aware of the voltage.My straightner did get a little hotter than normal. However my Revlon curling iron was fine... it did seem warmer too but not hot. Just watch it. And unplug it after each use. So anyways, I just adjusted the heat setting. I used it for everything though. Very reliable.

I don't know. never tested it.But, i can be used for 3000w Electric Kettle so i guess it can handle the iron as well.

This is a very reliable adaptor but heed the advice given by Autumn regarding voltage of your curling iron or any other similar heating device.

By dipping in hot water with curlers, yes. Not sure about curling with a curling iron though.

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!

Not if you are using it on a printer. This particular adapter is set up as a print spooler.

It depends on the current draw but I doubt it. I tried to use the device while in the UK to power my hair clippers (a 50W device). I could when plugged directly into the device but if I used an extension cord the clippers did not work due to the small voltage drop across the added cord. This indicates that the device, while converting voltage and frequency, does not pass enough current through the conversion. Your iron is a high current device so i doubt it will work.

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!

I don't know. I bought it for older braun curling iron that really takes one long refill. unfortunately those are now about $65 each...so I plan, when I need to use the ones I bought to cut off bottom of old longer refill to make smaller one the right size. I am a little worried that the top half will get stuck in curling iron......

Here is some info about a converter that you may want to check in to. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080121211719AAVfrRc I'm not sure that the above like I gave you will open. If you just "google" your question, such as "do I need a converter adaptor for my hairsetter in Europe", you will get a lot of information...much more than I could give you in my own words. Good luck!

one caution - while this set does not need converter, only adapter, understand that the stronger european voltage means they will heat up much more quickly and get a lot hotter. Curlers can get very hot so use with caution.

No, this is for smaller/shorter cordless curling brush. You might have to get the Braun CT2 instead

Not sure, my daughter used her British irons in an American adapter plug with no problems but when i looked into buying one from American voltage to Brit plug the whole advice was NOT suitable for straightening irons!

I live in a 220v country and have used it for my steam mop which is 110v. so yes you can used it for a hair blower. switch the adapter to 1875w mode for hair blower

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).

This item is an ADAPTOR not a converter. It adapts the pins of electrical outlets to match different configurations. A voltage CONVERTER adapts the voltage. If your device (look hard) says the voltage is 110-240 then you only need an adapter and not a converter. In my experience, most newer devices from computers and cell phones to curling irons are "dual voltage" as stated above.

While I can seem to get enough of these refills I have only used them with the curling iron but they may be universal.

Since this has a built-in converter, it should be fine, but I wouldn't put that as a blanket statement for every model of hair straightener. Mine worked fine, and I used it every day while I was in Europe.

To my knowledge this adapter is for use with devices that support MHL. Don't believe it will do anything if used with a device that doesn't support MHL, but that's just my interpretation of the specs.
