Will this be able to be used with a hair dryer or hair flat iron or tea kettle? These draw considerable heat. Is it rugged enough?

The adapter is a cheap little thing, it works perfectly well, but isn't top dollar (obviously). I use mine for laptops and phone chargers. They have given me great service so far. The product blurb says 'any other electrical appliance' so I guess they should be good for your needs. Try not to use them for too long at any one time if you are concerned.

definitely not. actually, you shouldn't buy this thing at all. I bought two recently, and one never worked; the other failed after a few days.What you need to get is a power transformer, and a very high-wattage one if you're using a kettle / hair dryer / flat iron; if you don't use a transformer, you will blow a fuse. The Seven Star models work well; they may seem expensive, but $80 is a small price to pay to continue using your electricals. Make sure you look up the specs on your devices to see how many watts they use. Kettles typically use 1200 watts.

Many hair products can be flammable if used incorrectly. Clearly this is not like a major hazard since it is designed to be use with hair tools that go well up to 400 degrees rapid heating and it causes no trouble. As I said, if you are being ridiculous or something and holding a flat iron or rolling iron on your hair for many minutes or over-drying your hair, you pose a risk of something outlandish happening. However, this stuff dries up so quickly that I believe it really isn't an issue. It should be use as instructed and not like poured onto a styling iron or anything like that.

High heat is no problem. My previous kettle was used only on hi heat for 45 years, and there is no warning about hi heat on the new one I purchased. Is the one you currently have a Revere? It's a teakettle, for gosh sakes! You're supposed to use it on high heat ;) BTW, I currently have a glass top range, but have also had this kettle on gas and electric ranges. OK all surfaces that I know of.

It's not too small, and it heats up really well. I have hair that can be very resistant to heat styling, but the amika works great on my hair, doesn't burn it, and not only flat irons it straight but also curls it if you flip it just so. I had one and I broke it - so I immediately got another one here at amazon because I couldn't do without it. Takes a lot for me to be "brand-loyal." Hope that helps you. P.

I love this hairdryer but I have long thick hair that drys quickly. The varied heat and fan options would seem to make this dryer appropriate for any hair type.

The adapter worked fine. My daughter used it for her iPad, laptop computer and cell phone. She didn't use with a hair dryer. Hope this helps.

sorry, I have not used it for anything that has had metal on it. but it does not seem like it would get that hot. it's not like a dryer.

This hair drying tool operates with "heat" and of course gets hot, but can be held onto while in use. It sounds like this person should not even buy one if this is reflective of her experience or lack of experience with hair drying tools......

certainly as a hair dryer, but to use it to get some curl at the end of the hair, if hair is too wet it won't work to curl hair around the wand. That only works on damp or dry hair.

I wouldn't recommend it because this particular hair straightner isn't for wet hair. I tried to use it with wet hair and it burned my hair.

From my experience, as long as your hair is dry, no! It's never a good idea to have your hair wet/damp when using any heat appliance that is plugged in! So spray your hair with your protectant and finger dry it in, then curl it!

I think that it would work fine, this isn't the most powerful dryer and the airflow is differant than a regular blowdryer.

Yes, I would recommend to use moderate heat like a hair dryer instead of heat pencil. Form to shape for fitment

I didn't really use it once I found out that it would not grab my hair, so I am not sure. But I don't think it heated. My goal was only to have a brush that turned by itself. If I could find one that both heats and turns I'd be overjoyed, but I don't think it exists. If anyone out there finds one, please holler.

Yes it can! I wouldn't recommend the highest setting on your flat iron or curler, but it can handle the heat!

I definitely don't recommend recommend this, but I accidentally left my curling iron on from Saturday (today is Monday) and only noticed that I had done so because an object on top of the counter was warm when it shouldn't have been. I obviously turned off the curling iron, then looked for damage: none found. That sounds pretty heat resistant to me. Hope this helps!

I would believe it would. We run all those with no problem. The coffee maker and hair dryer or toaster zap the power. Anything that creates heat can not be run with these items all running at the same time. We have been real happy with this generator. It's quiet and very reliable. We dry camp and live in our trailer most of the year and we can count on it to deliver.
