Does it work with European hair dryer and other appliances?

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

My wife tried to use a hair straightener in Italy. It is 110v stepped up to 220v. Unit got very hot and began to smoke.

Works with anything that isnt motorized... The difference in hz will burn out a blinder or something the same. I'm using mine with my 220v Marshall amplifier. Works great.

Yes. I used my hot hair straightener all over Europe with this. No problems.

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.

I am not sure but we used every on of them - for hair dryer, charging our phones and our computers, curling iron. It was a must to have. I believe it will work with anything that you would normally plug into a regular outlet here in the states.

I am not sure but if it has dual voltage like apple products yes. I would take an adaptor to be sure as will need it for things like hair dryer etc. Expensive to buy adaptors in Europe.

I just took this to Italy and it did work with my phone charger, camera battery charger, hair dryer, and flat iron.

Yes, it works. But make sure your dryer or curling iron works in the range of 110 - 220 volts (usually hair dryers don't) because if doesn't it will burn. Europe electric grid works with 210 volts, and that is too much for electric divices that only work with 110 volts (like the ones in the US).

You could, but remember it is only good for small devises i. e. electric razor, tooth brush. Do not try to plug in a curling iron or hair dryer. Hair dryers are 800 watts this transformer is capable of only 150 watts. When going to Europe you cannot use any heating device on their system from the USA. Cell phone and computer chargers will operate in Europe using just an adapter.

It should but you should watch out how many voltage per appliance you are using. Mine worked fine to charge my cell phone and camera but blew up when I went to use a hair dryer.

Based on my experience it won't work anywhere. It failed the first time we plugged in a hair dryer in South Africa. It never worked, ever. I complained to the vendor and they asked me to send it back (at my own expense). They never replied or acknowledged receipt of the unit or offered to return my money. I would avoid this unit.

Yes, it will accept the European 2 round pin plugs (tested!)! I live in France, and I purchased this to be able to use appliances with European or American plugs in the U.K.

It appears from this map that all of Europe is 230 V, 50 hz. The dryer should work as long as the current supplied can keep up.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weltkarte_der_Netzspannungen_und_Netzfrequenzen.svg

It is my understanding that it will work with every current on the planet, it has many different options for settings & plugs.I have only used mine in Europe, and I use in here in the US all the time with a curling iron that is not being sold here, it works very well.

Yes it will hook up the basically any hair dryer. I would not purchase this though after several times using it the material had melted holes in it from the dryer. It even melted part of my dryer.

Yes, this hair dryer will work in Italy. It will work in Italian 2 or 3 prong outlets. It's a fantastic dryer and powerful. Don't waste time trying to convert an American dryer. They will work like a gutless wonder.

Hi Pam, I should work fine. I have used it in Spain, France, Italy and Pakistan. The best blow-dryer i've used so far. I even bought the american version it's so good!!

Yes. The one I purchased through Amazon is for use in the US. It is an amazing hair dryer and I will never use another one again!!!
