Can I use this to operate an American hair dryer in Israel ?

As previous replies mentioned, only if your dryer is dual voltage as this is not a converter. Also note that many places in Israel use the "European" socket that takes two round prongs, but some have a socket that is three round plugs in a pyramid configuration. Best bet would be to buy the two-prong power strip & just buy a three-prong plug adapter if you had to.

I have not traveled to Israel yet ; ) But it appears that as long as your hair dryer converts the power and it should say dual power on your hair dryer plug 110/240V, then yes this power strip will work in Israel. Israel uses European plugs and as long as your hair dryer converts the power this is all you should need. I used it in Norway and Sweden and it worked well. I must also say this power string is much larger than ones you buy in the US but it is necessary for traveling in other countries.

It should fit the sockets in Israel. Not ideal. But it should fit. However, more of a concern is that the 220V system will fry a 110V American Hair Dryer. Note this strip is not a voltage converter. I would suggest that you shop for a dual voltage hair dryer and bring a couple of US/Euro plug adapters.

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.

If the power is 220 to 240 then the answer is yes, provided you have the proper adapter. We actually have two one for the US and one for Europe. This is an excellent Hair Dryer.

No. I bought this because I was going to Israel and was told not to bring hair dryer and straightener/curling iron. I only used it to straighten my bands and a little bit of top layer. It did okay.

If you bring a converter with you, it most likely can. Converters work well with hair dryers, too.

We come from Europe and have a bunch of european machines we still use. You won't be able to use it for things that need to heat like hair dryer, toaster and so on since you will burn the fusibles but you will be able to use it with other things like electric instruments, radios and so on. Hope it helps

It's just an adapter. I suggest buying a hair dryer (and checking your other electronic devices) that can handle a range of currents 120-240v. Otherwise, you risk buring out the device.

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.

Yes, I think so. If your device says 110/240 or something close to that, this adaptor will do the job. We did use it in Ireland. Also note, that all hotels we stayed in throughout United Kingdom provided hair dryers in each room, so you may not even need to take a blow dryer. We didn't and each hotel had one in the room.

It is an excellent and powerful hair dryer.I used it in Gubio, Italy. The hotel had to give me a three prong adapter for the dryer.

no, it won't work there. and i don't think any adapter will help much, the power will too low, i took my hair dryer to Russia, it barely worked with adapter. no use there.

I don't know if they work in Israel, but be warned that they do not accept US polarized plugs, in spite of what the text says

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.

I don't see any reason why not. This just adapts the prongs and has nothing to do with downstream ( what you plug in) appliances. As with something that requires so much wattage... you might want to check and see if the wall socket has a GFI on it in case that gets tripped, should your hair dryer GFI not trip.

If you are asking if you can use the hair dryer in the states, the answer is yes. Just plug into the outlet and that is it. Have been using them for the last 20+ years.

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!

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?

I'm not an electrician but I believe you can use it if you use a universal converter . People who travel to other countries use their appliances along with this converter. The converter is a small pronged adapter that plugs into your UK outlet and you plug the US hair tool into it.
