You don't need a transformer! You can just plug it in as it is and works great!

Yes, but you'd need a converter (a bit more expensive than an adapter). In fact it all depends to which country you want to go to. For exemple I live in France and I had to use a converter to transform to lower volt. Because the dryer doesn't do directly to 220V on the socket. You must use a converter outside the US otherwise your dryer will burn out. PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

It's 120V, 88 watts, so if you are running on 220-240V, then you will definitely need a transformer. Try one of the dual voltage curling irons - this one will melt down.

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

She can IF her hair dryer runs on 220V power. If you plug in a standard 110V U.S. model hair dryer, the higher voltage will fry it. This is assuming India uses 220V, which I believe it does. You can find hair dryers in the U.S. that are switchable between 110 and 220 power. The Ceptics strip does not convert voltage, it only provides more outlets. So, whatever power source you plug it into (110 or 220), that is what you will get through the strip.

I bought it in the U.S. to use in Ukraine. So we were able to use it for everything from laptops to hair dryers. Just be sure to check the wattage of whatever you are using to be sure it doesn't exceed the capacity. This transformer does come in different wattage capacities however. I hope this was helpful. :)

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.

No,you would have to get a small converter. However, this same line has a travel hair dryer that is.

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!

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.

I would not use it without a transformer. Using it without a transformer would most likely burn up the motor.

I've never been to Europe, so I am not familiar with a transformer. However it plugs into a standard 120V outlet...so if you use a transformer for a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. I would think you would also need one for this light.

Yes. Just remember to change the settings if you can on the appliance. I could plug in and use my blowdryer and curling irons, but they ended up burning up after I got home because of the wattage difference and I had forgotten to switch them over to international settings.

Hi, thank you for the inquiry. Currently Amazon only carries the US transformer. Note however that any transformer with an output of 24VAC will work, so the transformer can be sourced separately if you decide to get the unit anyway. Thanks

This one sold in the U. S. is 120 volts only. If you take it to Europe you would need to buy a step down transformer. It would be cheaper just buy one in the area that you are going to use it. This unit does not a release function so if it jams you will have to throw it in the trash. You need to get the cleaning papers for the rollers which I did not get and I no longer have the unit.

I'm not an electrician but I believe you can use it if you use a universal converter . People who travel to other countries use their appliances along with this converter. The converter is a small pronged adapter that plugs into your UK outlet and you plug the US hair tool into it.

it's made to be used in the states on a 110. When i lived in Europe, I kept a transformer in the house and used that with all my 110 products. Don't use an adapter...make sure you use a transformer with enough voltage so you don't fry your dryer
