Will this run an electric clothes dryer?

Unfortunately I don't know and I can't test it either as our dryer is a regular US version. My Husband said that it depends how much capacity the dryer needs. He suspected that if it says 2500 W it might not work with 5000W transformer, also if you google it, you will find "recommend using a voltage converter / transformer which has a Wattage that is 2 to 3 times higher than your appliance.

It is not designed to work with American 220V products. It will only work with European/Asia 220V products when the input is 110V.

No, would not recommend it. Typically electric dryers use up 4,400 watts of power, so the transformer would have to be at least double or triple that wattage (I agree with the previous commentator).

I don't think so. The product will only cover appliances up to a certain wattage. However, some websites on converters said that heating appliances have a variable watt requirement that can go up to three times the reported number of watts to get warm initially. Unless your electric dryer uses 2000 watts or less, it might not be able to get the dryer to work on the highest settings. I am not an expert. You might want to ask the company as well.

If it is an American 220V clothes dryer then you don't need a transformer. All you need to do is have an electrician put in a dual-phase 220V receptacle in place of your single-phase 110V.

Yes. It has a two twenty plug. I do not use it for my stove or clothes dryer or water heater along with everything else, but you can operate them separately.

I don't know. I returned the dryer because the higher power setting didn't work.

Not sure this is big enough for a washer/dryer. Need to find out how many watts and voltage your washer/dryer require and see if this transformer will convert that much. I bought it for a curling iron, electric razor and a blow dryer I bought overseas and brought home to the States with me.

It uses what is kind of know as split 240v 120 per leg. I do believe it would power your pump if your pump can be plugged in like it was a dryer plug.Hope this helps. Dan Rooks

You do understand this device has to be hooked up to a 12V car battery to work right? It will run your blow dryer but it converts 12V DC current to 110 V AC current. John

it should as a 5 amp 120volt vacuum pulls 600 watts. the start up might trip the breaker on the inverter though.

It should. I operated it with a high Watt appliance (waffle iron), which is probably 1000-1600 Watt.

This will work for the hair dryer, if the hair dryer is 100-240V. Please note that this product does not convert voltage.

I wouldn't try it. Check their voltage and buy a dryer that matches. I've ruined one dryer and friends have ruined dryers using converters. Lots cheaper to buy a voltage appropriate. Our dryers are too strong!

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.

I guess that I should have asked what dryer you are talking about. I was thinking clothes dryer but I wonder why you would need a switch for that. You probably mean hair dryer. This should work just fine for a hair dryer.

It will run it, I used it to run a dewalt circular saw. Its a modified sine wave instead of pure sine wave, its not the best for electric motors. Long term tool use i dont recommend.

My initial reaction is no. This kit comes with a 110 volt inverter(can be set to 115 or 120) and would need and external step up transformer to run 220 volt motors. From my experience this inverter would not run a clothes dryer or a 10,000 BTU window air conditioner. It does run my energy efficient refrigerator 24/7 and has been doing that for 1 1/2 years now. I have the 3000 watt Cotek inverter to run all my large motor driven appliances.

If your dryer plug looks different from most of your other plugs it's most likely that it's running on 220 Volts. Reason for the 220V is you can't get more than about 1500 Watts of power into a 115V appliance (like your toaster or toaster-oven). A clothes dryer requires more than that to dry in reasonable time.In which case the answer is an unequivocal NO - this device is NOT designed for 220V appliances. And there is NO chance for finding an adapter either. Why would you want it for your dryer anyway? A dryer comes with a pretty fancy control dial which is what you're supposed to use.

Yes it will but You need to check the power rating as well. My device needed at least 600W so I bought this transformer of 700W. washer and dryer might need higher watt I am guessing

Yes, This dryer takes 220 volt power. You will need to purchace a power cord with a 3 or four prong, depending which outlet you have.
