I live in the US so need the hair dryer to be 110v and US plug. Is this the case? Thank you

Yes I own this and am using it in Los AngelesWords great and is indeed 110V with a US plug :-)

It is but the switches didn't work an had to return it for a different model. Got my wife the chi hair dryer. She loves the new chi.

Yes, but you'd need a converter (a bit more expensive than an adapter). In fact it all depends to which country you want to go to. For exemple I live in France and I had to use a converter to transform to lower volt. Because the dryer doesn't do directly to 220V on the socket. You must use a converter outside the US otherwise your dryer will burn out. PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

This is a 200 watt converter and you hair dryer is likely between 1200 and 2100 watts, so no, that would be a bad idea.

I caint see good enough to tell if it is 110v. But, it is 1875 watt. It is a great blow drier, I love it!! Dries fast and had the right amount of heat to get the job done. My hair looks a lot better since I started using it. Most important it does not dry my hair out the ends of my hair and I have less frizz. I hope this helped

Overseas you can go to 2500 Watts (250 Volts x 10 Amps), BUT. if you have a 110 fold hair dryer and it is not dual voltage then you will blow it out without a transformer (aka convefrtor). http://www.travelchicks.tv/technology/travel-adapters-and-converters/ has a nice video explaining this.

I don't know - but a lot of hair dryers have a switch/button that says 120/240. My daughter took her hair dryer and simply turned the switch. You do need to get the wall adapter because are plugs are different. She said it worked fine. Hope this helps

The hair dryer is only meant to run on 100v. The US's voltage is 120v, meaning that the hair dryer is being supplied with 20% more voltage. As a result of the increase in voltage, the hair dryer will consume 44% more power and get 44% hotter. This is dangerous so please buy a transformer with a higher wattage (2000 watt - 3000 watt). The hair dryer uses 1200w so do not be cheap and try to buy a 500 watt or 1000 watt transformer; the fuse will blow out when you turn on the hair dryer.

Here in the US the standard is 110V with a couple of breakers set up with 220 for the dryer and such. You can tell a 220 because they're the ones with the big plug with tines that come out in a triangle. I believe the EU uses 220. Adapters have to be used when you jump the pond.

If the hair dryer is rated 220-240volts and it consumes 500watts of power or less, then it will work. Dryers are usually high energy consumers because of their heating elements so I wouldn't recommend you using a dryer on it. It's more suitable for household electronics

Its also a step down converter, so it dampened the 220 Volts coming through the wall down to 110 to be used with lower voltage appliances. With your high voltage products, you may not need the step down. Otherwise, the hair dryer approaching 3000watts was the only iffy operation I had with mine.

This hair dryer will work in India. There is no issue with voltage because it will work on 230 volts which is the voltage in India.

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)

No idea .... but since hair dryers and other appliances are usable with the appropriate adapters for the electric plug, I would assume this is as well.

I used mine in Germany two weeks ago. Operated/charged a MacBook (the white brick plugs into it with the standard 2 prong plug), an iPad, and an iPhone at the same time. It plugs right into the Euro wall boxes. I also use it the same way here in the states. Am not sure why it wouldn't work for a hair dryer. It will not work for anything that has a 3 prong plug, only 2 prong plugs.

2 prong plug can be connected to the top of the adapter and a three prong or another 2 prong can be connected to the opposite side with universal plug. Please make sure that your hair dryer supports 220V before using it with this adapter. This adapter doesn't convert voltage.

Hi, Yes it is 110 voltage. It does not have dual voltage, so you would need a converter and adapter to use it in places like Europe or South America. Though personally, I love it so much, I would not want to risk it overheating, so when I was in Brazil for business, I used the dryers provided by the hotel.

The dryer states "125V AC, 60 Hz, 2000 W", so my guess is no. An adapter may work, but it's always best to check with the manufacturer before buying this if you intend to use it with a voltage that it wasn't designed for.
