This dryer does not have a three pronged plug and does not state .how am I supposed to use it with a British three prong plug system?

You should be able to purchase an adapter plug, which will allow you to use the product. A hardware store would have one.

When I visited Europe I needed to purchase an adapter to use any of my US appliances.

The unit that I received was for American outlets only. I have had it for a while now, so it is possible the design changed. When I purchased, the photos showed it as only having an American style plug.

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.

Need to look at the original plug and see if it has two or three prongs. Not where it plugs into wall which should have three, but where that wire plugs into the adaptor.

Not sure. Does not have add'l plug in attached. However, this dryer is WAY too big to pack. I would suggest looking at a compact type.

In the description it says it is a 3 prong but when you get it it is only standard. I just left it off of mine and just use regular outlet on wall.

I think you need the adapter and the converter. One plugs into the other to form a unit. Otherwise you risk not only damaging your equipment but also either tripping the power in the apartment or even worse. And, yes, every place I stayed in Italy had hair dryers. Check into that because it seems to draw more current than anything else.

Plug is smaller than my dryer plug. Change receptacle in wall to fit. U can buy a new one for cheap...

It's not actually a UK plug. It's the universal two prong plug that travel adapters use. It comes with the US adapter but it is a large plug. I bought one last year with a mormal US plug but I bought one in Feb. 2015 and it had the adapter. I guess it's a crapshoot as to which you get.

Hi there it depends on which one you get , if you google the exact product name and brand you should have all the details , good luck . As far as the plug it comes in the regular 3 head adaptor ,If uk is different you can buy a converter online

In the UK you need to use an adapter plug with the three prongs for UK sockets. Almost all hotels have them but very cheap and easy to buy un US before you leave. The 220 voltage is the same for UK so works fine once add adapter plug.

Be cause its 220 capable it does not come with an outlet plug like a dryer but you intall any 220 you need fpr your home. You can use a standard 110 plug but its difficult to weld on 110 volts and if you make sure you switch the set screw switch fron 220 - 110 volts

I don't know. Email the company and ask. Have you tried plugging it in in another outlet? I had a blow dryer and the same thing happened. The blow dryer couldn't take the voltage difference. Sorry I couldn't help you much. Good luck!

These adapters have two American plugs, one 2 prong and one 3 prong. They do not come apart. As for your hairdryer, you'll want to make sure it works with South Africa's voltage.

Yes! Just make sure the switch is where it needs to be. You'll need something sharp and thin to fit into it in order to change it. I travel between the U.S. and England frequently and this blow dryer hasn't failed me yet.

I used the item in Cyprus which uses the same plus as england and i blew the machine...Twice! I bought two separate machines and since the volatge is different it blew even with a fused extension plug. If your voltage is different to that of the UK, you will have to buy an actual voltage converter where you can manually set the output power. The one i used that you would normally use for an electric shaver will not be enough. Hope this helps.

I suggest you speak with the seller about this. The one I got was for US 110V outlets so you would need a converter. Maybe others sell the ones for UK but I do not know. This one is for US.
