Can I use this converter on my American blow dryer in England and Europe?

You need to look at how many watts your blow dryer is and then buy one of these accordingly. If it is 850 watts then buy the transformer that's rated to 1000 watts. It's probably cheaper to buy a hair dryer in Europe.

Yes you can....there are settings to steup or step down depending on where you use it..

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!!!

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.

it can be used in the United states, since it comes with an adapter for other countries. You can also change the electricity to 120 or 240. That is why I love this hair dryer.

Go to KitchenAid's website to ask the company your question. Also, do an internet search for companies in Europe that convert American appliances. When I was in Europe I burned out a hair dryer while using a converter. So I don't recommend using a converter unless KitchenAid recommends it.

I used the item in Cyprus which uses the same plus as england and i blew the machine...Twice! I bought two separate machines and since the volatge is different it blew even with a fused extension plug. If your voltage is different to that of the UK, you will have to buy an actual voltage converter where you can manually set the output power. The one i used that you would normally use for an electric shaver will not be enough. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use any blowdryer in Europe that didn't have a switch to change current. Even if it does you must run it on a low speed and heat and use a plug adaptor also. I think I would purchase a dryer intended for use with foreign current- lots of travel dryers have this capability. This is such a nice blowdryer, I would hate for it to burn up and then you have NO blowdryer. Also My daughter just traveled to Italy and many people recommend to just buy a curling iron or straightener there, as those types of appliances can't be switched to European current. Also you need a plug adaptor for any American appliance anyway,even one that converts.

Absolutely not. Buy only from a European Amazon site to be sure of 220v and the right prongs. Don't use a converter. It will fry your appliance.

I can't tell you. I took mine to the UK and it broke right away. So........ not a good purchase for me. Perhaps you will have better luck. Keep in mind that although you wont need a "converter" you will need an adapter plug that will allow you to plug in your flat iron.

Here is some info about a converter that you may want to check in to. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080121211719AAVfrRcI'm not sure that the above like I gave you will open. If you just "google" your question, such as "do I need a converter adaptor for my hairsetter in Europe", you will get a lot of information...much more than I could give you in my own words. Good luck!

I assume so if you use the appropriate converter for that country. I don't take hair dryers with me, I always use the ones provided by the hotels. For my other appliances, such as shavers or curling irons or brushes, I use the converters and haven't had an issue.

It's not a converter, it's just an adapter. But it does have surge protection in it. You can use this for your phone and most electrical devices, but I wouldn't mess around with a hair dryer to be on the safe side. I mostly used this for my Android phone.

I think you would need a converter for the plug, just like the ones used for most U.S. appliances in Europe.

Hi Virginia, This is NOT a dual voltage hair dryer. If you are traveling, the wattage in Europe is 220/125. To change the voltage you would have to purchase a very expensive and heavy voltage converter (which people used to do years ago before dual voltage hair dryers and other appliances). Two choices: one, buy a dual voltage here and then buy the various plugs for each country, or purchase a dryer in Europe which is not dual voltage, but only for European plugs. I purchased one in Paris and another in London many years ago, they work great. Good luck (Conair makes a cheap one that works)

You would need a converter, not just a plug adapter. But if it has some kind of battery charger, you can look on it and see if it goes up to 240 volts (UK-Europe).

That all depends on the hair dryer or straightener, if they can be changed from 110V to 220V if so you will not need a converter. However some hair dryers do not recommend using them with a converter. My wife ruined a hair dryer with a converter.

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for £9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X
