Can I use this for a hair dryer from Japan (AC100V 50-60Hz 1200w) in the U.S.?

I don't think you need a step-up transformer for it if it runs on 100v. This is for appliances that run on 220v - anything 100-120v should just work in a regular outlet.

I don't see why you couldn't, but I'd think it would be cheaper to buy a new hairdryer instead.

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!

I assume you meant that you have 120 Volts AC, 60 Hz power (same as the US). That is what you need for this product.

It would work only if your hair dryer is designed for multi-voltage. This adapter is not a voltage converter.

According to the manufacturer, you should be able to. There is a small screw-like button under the controls on the hairdryer that you turn to the correct voltage.

Looks like you can; the unit itself is marked "AC 100-240V". It has a North American plug (polarized two-prong), though, so you might need an adapter.

does it work to convert a USA hairdryer for use in an Indian outlet? What about a USA iPhone charger or laptop? Otherwise what else do I need?

Yes if you have an adapter connected to your hair dryer and your dryer is dual voltage. If it's not dual voltage you will need a converter and adapter. I would confirm if I were you if Isreal is on 220 volt if so you shouldn't have any issues.

Yes. My wife has been using it here in California for over a year. The voltage standard in Japan is 100v, and US is 120v, and we both use the standard prong. It will work fine for you. (http://kropla.com/electric2.htm)

As for the Japanese model, the voltage is 100 volts specifications.The United States is 110-120 volts.Therefore, I recommend that you use the transformer when you use this dryer.

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.

Yes you can, the voltage of Japan is the same as that in the States, or at least very close to.

i bought an "american 110v" hair dryer. it can be used without any special socket but i cant use it at full speed. It will be cut off in less than 10 seconds of use. can only use the lowest speed of 3 available. i think in long term, it will spoil(burn) the cable. Pity i have to give the iron to a Taiwanese

It may if you have the converter. I'm assuming you're talking about using it in Europe. May want to contact the manufacturer to verify that. I've have good luck with some items using the converter plugs but my wife had a hair dryer go south on her using one in France.

I think the voltage for Japan and US is the same. The device works fine and I like the fact that the wind is not too strong like most American models. However, the heat it gives out is way too hot. I don't want my hair scorched. I am planning on buying a Panasonic hair dryer, to see if the "heat" situation is better.

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.

It should ... most of spain uses the two-pole socket outlets. However, never use your hairdryer from the USA on any of these types of connectors unless they're dual voltage. Charging your phone, laptop, etc. should be perfectly fine though.
