I am looking for an adapter for my daughter to use in Spain. It has to work for a hair straightner. Can this support that?

I used it in Spain with my laptop charger and it worked fine so I think it should be good!

Yes. I bought one to use in Spain and it worked just fine. Good luck in the summer months :)!

This adapter will work in Spain but along with this, she will also need a 300 watt step down transformer if her hair straightner is only 110V meant for american voltage.

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

It should as far as I know but remember this is an adapter not a convertor. Whatever you are plugging into this has to be able to take 240 volts. Most electronic devices do take both 120 & 240. My wife bought a curling iron for our trip that took both. If your equipment only takes 120, it will be fried.

Yes, I have used mine in Venice, Barcelona, Lyon, and Sicily. Yes, you will need a plug ADAPTER . so you can get it into the wall plug with nothing changing. You do NOT need a converter since is already conforms to Europe's 240 vs. USA 120. Most hair dryers do the same, and so do most telephones and computers. If the appliance says 110-220 or 120 - 240 or something like that -- close enough -- electrical power in US fluxuates between 110 to 120, so it's fine. Just buy the $5 conveter plug which takes the US plug straight and changes it into the round ones. No electricity changes.

It should work in some places, but may not in others; see: http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products;_id=321

no. you'll need an adaptor but blowdryers in general are too strong for the adaptors and they usually burn out. I'm a hairstylist that has worked overseas often. If it's important for you to use a blowdryer overseas, it's best to buy one over there.

no. You will need a adaptor if using outside USA. The Product is very good and does the job straightening hair.

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

YES! This is the hair dryer you want for Europe! I used it in France, no adapter required. It should work in all of Europe. However if you plan a stop in the UK you will need an adapter for there.

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!

It has a 3-prong plug so you may need a plug adapter (I don't know what type of plugs are common in India). If your wife's hairdryer can handle 220V then it should work fine. If her hairdryer is only compatible with 110V then it will probably get fried. It seems that most of the newer ones are compatible with both 110 and 220.

I assume this is for overseas use? Make sure the items are the correct voltage before attempting to plug into these adapters. Curling irons and hair dryers will work IF they are the right power voltage. The device should specify 100 - 240v or just 220 - 240 if using overseas.

It depends on the current draw but I doubt it. I tried to use the device while in the UK to power my hair clippers (a 50W device). I could when plugged directly into the device but if I used an extension cord the clippers did not work due to the small voltage drop across the added cord. This indicates that the device, while converting voltage and frequency, does not pass enough current through the conversion. Your iron is a high current device so i doubt it will work.

The specs say it won't work with hair dryers or straighteners. You will need to find another (more expensive) model that can handle appliances with a heavier draw. The Conair TS2000 2,000-Watt High/Low Converter may work for 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.

The original set I purchased years ago did have a duel plug that could be used in Europe. It came with the special plug included with the hair setter but I'm not sure that the model is still available. The most recent set I bought did not have a plug like that but it's possible there is another model available to purchase.

I am not an electrician but by looking at it I think it would work. My husband looked at it as well and he agreed but need to check the volts. I had an adapter when traveling through Europe. Our products in America required a stronger volts that the adapter didn't provide therefore I had a difficult time using my products. It blew up my hair dryer.
