What is the Max Watts that it can handle? I want to use it it with a 2000W Hair dryer on my trip

When I travel to Europe, even Russia, I always take a duel voltage hair dryer. That way I don't have to worry about blowing circuits.

I don't think the wattage would be a problem. I used it with a curling iron but the important thing is that the device you are using it with (phone, IPAD, hair appliance, etc.) is capable of dual voltage so it can handle 110 and 220. You will also need a plug adapter to fit another country's wall plugs. If it's not capable of dual voltage you would have a problem.

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.

Honestly, I don't know. But I suggest you look at your hair dryer to see if there is information on it about voltage. If that doesn't work, trying asking an electrician.

I'm sorry, I'm nt sure since it doesn't say anywhere.I assume you can go up to 100 watts no problem, but to be safe, I would do 60 watts.

According to the product specs it will handle 5000 watts. We used it on a 20 gal 240 volt water heater with no problems.

Reliance control website says maximum running watts this unit can handle is 7500. Might want to step up to the Q510A or Q510C that can handle 12500.

I think it is 100 watts. I am using a 75 watt and a 25 watt in two separate areas.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

I use it for heat shrink tubing in electronics. It is much hotter than my wife's hair dryer that says 1500 w.

Get the specs on the motor. The socket should be able to handle 15amp routinely. The power should be limited to 110V + 15A, which is about 1500 W (VA). The only issue may be when the motor turns on. If the bearings are worn, there could be a spike in the current when it turns on. So, if the motor is good (or new) -- which you can check using one of those Watt Meters -- and you limit the power to about what a hair dryer uses, then you are ok. Hope this helps

120 watts. It has only one setting but works perfectly. I have thick coarse naturally curly hair. So far so good.

No, I believe the maximum is 44 watts! if you use more there is a risk of overheating the unit. This would be a potential fire risk.I would check with a licensed electrician to be sure!

1800 to 1850 I would recommend and "travel " hair dryer to cut back on the wattage. Also make sure you fold out all the fittings before plugging it in. I broke one the first time I used it because I didn't have all the correct plugs out. The second one I had worked great once I figured out what I was doing.

500 watts max as stated in the description. I wouldn't go above 400 total to be on the safe side.

Not sure. I used it for my cpap machine for almost 6 months when we were dry camping in AZ . I have used it to run my printer and my stereo. Your hair dryer may use a lot more watts than the inverter puts out. Hope this helps.

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.

No, the input is 110V 60hz but the power is 1800W (not 2300W). I have owned 2 hair dryers prior to this one that were 2300W and this one dries my hair much faster that the higher wattage ones. I assume this is because of the infrared feature. I am completely satisfied with this dryer and I think it is much easier on my hair. My hands are very arthritic and not very agile and I have no problem managing this dryer.

It depends on the volts. Multiply the volts you output by 3 and that's your Max watts. E.g.If you're at 120v then it's 360 watts - or 80v 240 watts.

I did use it on a small electric water heater of 1500 watts for a few times and it worked fine. I had it come on for about 15 minutes per day for a few days. The instructions say it can handle up to about 1800 watts.
