How many watts is this hair dryer? Does this work in Australia?

It is 1800 watts. Whether it will work in Australia, I think the voltage in Australia is 240. Elchim offers both in 240 and 120 volts. The former should work in Australia.

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.

The hair dryer is only meant to run on 100v. The US's voltage is 120v, meaning that the hair dryer is being supplied with 20% more voltage. As a result of the increase in voltage, the hair dryer will consume 44% more power and get 44% hotter. This is dangerous so please buy a transformer with a higher wattage (2000 watt - 3000 watt). The hair dryer uses 1200w so do not be cheap and try to buy a 500 watt or 1000 watt transformer; the fuse will blow out when you turn on the hair dryer.

Every answer provided about the wattage of this dryer are incorrect. One answer is correct, the wattage is not found on the box but on the bottom of the dryer. The wattage is 800W not 500W as one responder indicated. I can only assume the person mistook the 8 for a 5. So, once again the wattage is definitely 800. I found it strange that the website did not provide this information in the description of the dryer. You would think this would be important information to include in the description.

The unit says 2000 - 2400w. It has cool, warm & hot settings, with two fan speeds. I find it to be on the quieter side. I am so happy with this dryer.

Wate is not listed anywhere on the box, the dryer or in the packaging. I even looked on the HOT TOOLS website and the wattage was not listed there. However, I have extremely thick hair and it dries my hair in a fairly fast time. It is an IONIC Turbo dryer with fast drying time. Sorry no wattage invormation is available. But I do love the dryer, if that helps!

1800 Watts, which is normal wattage for a hair dryer. The infra-red feature makes it dry ones hair much faster than a non-infra-red dryer, so, total energy usage is lower with this dryer.

This hair dryer will work in India. There is no issue with voltage because it will work on 230 volts which is the voltage in India.

1900 Watts. The warm setting is good for short hair and the regular setting is great for drying long and/or thick hair. It's lightweight feature is another added plus as most professional level dryers are heavy.

Have not taken it to Italy but have taken it to the UK. The *voltage* (not wattage) in Europe is 220-240v at 50Hz which this dryer will function at; the US voltage is 115-120 at 60Hz. The switch on the dryer handle has a 115/230 choice. Set it to 230VAC. Remember to also obtain a converter plug like "Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for Italy (Type L) - 3 Pack" available on Amazon. The US plug on the hair dryer will not fit any European outlet.

The max used of any adapter is 5 amps in most countries. The adaper is loaded with a 5 amp fuse for europe use. If the hairdryer works with your own socket outlets its more than likely it would. I cannot veryfy the wattage as itis 1 1/2 kilowats which is slightly heavy for any adaptor. Suggest you check the adaptors website and follow what they recomend

110. This is a household item, not an appliance. So, think 'hair dryer' not 'clothes dryer'.

Honestly that is hard to say. I really couldn't recall if my previous hair dryer was of a higher/lower wattage. All I can say is that this is a pretty average hair dryer. Meets basic needs, I have had mine forever and it has lasted. The diffuser attachment for curls isn't great though. It is too open and not enclosed enough so I had to buy a separate attachment. Not sure if you want to use this attachment.
