I'd like to use this transformer to plug my italian hair drier. It works with 220-240V, 50 Hz, 2000W and 9A. Will it make it works like in Italy?

Yes, It will. It has a switch were you could convert it both way from 220 to 110 and 110 to 220.

Before I answer yes, I would like to emphasize that there are input voltage in the unit and the output voltage. If the source is 220v you must put the input 220v and if the source is 240v you must use the 240v input, as well as with 200v, use the 200v input and if the source is 110v use the 110v input at the back. This is important because I discover that the OUTPUT will depend on the input. We only have 2 output, the 110v and the 220v. If the Input volts did not match the SOURCE volts it will not give the 110v and 220v as an output. What I did, I checked my source and used it to my input and I exactly get the 2 output volts which is the 110v and the 220v. My point is if your source is 113v or 120v and it is not an option at the back and you will think to use the 110v as and input, this will not give you the right outpu volts. If your source fluctuates to 220v and you put the input at 240v, this will not give you the right output volts. Yes this works for me, I am using this unit for my Festool Domino Cutter and Lamello Jointer. But I have to check my source voltage ALWAYS. In front unit, you have two output 110v and 220v, just cover whatever you don't need to avoid accidentally plugging to wrong voltage. I hope this helps.

Yes, we have plugged in vacuum cleaners, kerurigs (2000w), and hair clippers.

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

Hi, it should because we used a hair drier and toaster from the UK on it without any problems.

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)

The simple answer is yes, it works on 100-240V and AC 50/60Hz. However it ships with a power cord based on the country in which it's purchased. So if you buy one in the US and want to use it in Europe, you'll need a plug adaptor (not a transformer, just the adaptor which you can get from Amazon, Radio Shack, etc.)

According to the charger it works on 120 VAC 60 Hz. 50 Hz should not be a problem, but a step down transformer is needed. Some hotels have transformers and/or power converters that can be used. An adapter plug may also be needed. When I went to Europe, I purchased and adapter set that included a step down transformer.

Yes, this works from 100-240V. I called doterra to verify. Also my husband uses it directly plugged into the wall (with an adapter of course) without a transformer.

It depends on the charger's specifications. The adapter changes only the shape of the plug; it doesn't convert voltage. US voltage is 120; Italy's is 220. Many electronic components automatically switch between 120 and 220 volts; if your charger does that then it's good to go. For instance, I had no trouble whatsoever with my laptop and my smartphone charging, but my sister fried her hair dryer because it was 120 volts only.

Yes it should work fine. I purchased this model recenlty and i live in Italy. I have had no issues with power and i am very happy with the unit. Hope this helps. Mike

I honestly do not know because I don't know about the outlets/voltage in Italy. I do know that I couldn't use my iron in Argentina unless you had a special adapter I believe but you should contact the company directly about that. I'm sure they would be able to help.

I am not sure that this will work with a transformer to step down the power. Jura Does produce a 220 V machine for the European market. It's the Jura Impressa X7 220 V. I am sure that they also produce other 220 V models. Good luck and I hope you find it.

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.

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.

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.

It plugs into my car through a power port. Not a direct 120volt house plug in.so I don't know if you can use it in Italy or not...

I don't know about everywhere in Italy but we used them in Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento, Levanto, Casino and a few places in between. We used them for our iPhones and cpap machine along with a Kindle. I did have a hairdryer I used and it had a dual voltage feature but a US plug. It was set on 240. Everything else was just as we used them at home. Hope this helps.

These style transformers are for use on single phase circuits. Your dryer being 220v may require a two phase circuit. This time I would consult a licensed electrician. It's not necessarily a big deal (meaning a costly thing) but if the heater requires 220v two phase power, then that's what it needs. Many of those house fires like we've seen all winter on TV news are caused by mismatching wiring and heaters. Please, be safe and call a licensed sparky! Kia ora. GW

Good question. It is a US plug. I don't know what plug Italy uses. But whatever it is, with a converter you should do fine. I've done all right with a converter in Asia and England. It's the best travel steamer I have ever found!

I'm not sure what the electrical standards are in Italy. I only used it in France. What I found in France was that though this has two dryer settings (high and low), only the high setting worked when using the dryer there while both settings worked in the US. I'd recommend you research to see if france and Italy have the same standards before purchasing. Hope this helps.
