110/220 volt? Can someone tell me if this dryer can run both on 110 and 220 volt power?

I am interested to know as well. I want to buy and take this to Europe with me!

It can be used between 100v to 240v as indicated on the adapter. So both 110v and 220v should be fine. Nowadays many appliances can be used at both voltages.

this unit requires 220 volts. I run mine on a 30 amp dryer circuit. this is fine for 1/8 rod and smaller.

Not recommended. Women's blow dryer require more than 1000W to operate with heat on. The good ones are on the 2000W range. Once you start blowing with heat you will eventually burn the fuse. You have to use a step up transformer with the appropriate rating. Unfortunately, any step up transformer of 1000W and above I have seen are massive (like 10lbs). By chance I have one 1000W and another 1500W. I use the second for my European expresso machine and works fine. I tried one 1850W blow dryer on both and the difference is noticeable and even in the big one it is not like it used to be in Singapore @ 220V outlet. Bottom line: It is cheaper and easier to have a second 110V blow dryer.

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)

It's 110 volts which is the normal plug. 220 volts is what electric dryers and ranges use which is for heavy duty appliances.

My brother says only heavy duty items *central a/c, large window a/c, electric stoves, dryers use 240 V. Most other items in household should be plugged into 120V. 220V is too much and will burn out small units.

I tried the hair dryer at home (USA) AT 120v and also on Europa 220v.. worked great both places.

I've oredered the same dryer twice and to my surprise, the second time I received the dryer with an European plug! It cannot be used in United States since it has a different voltage (220w). I have no idea what made the difference in the order since it doesn't say anything about European usage! It came from Spain, so I never returned it.

This question was asked before and the documentation with the phones say 110. 220 volt is for things like dryers and other items that take a great deal of power.

it is for that voltage in ireland/scotland, but it will not work with 110 volt appliances from the USA. You either need to buy a converter that will change the voltage (I think they are pretty expensive) or you need to buy appliances that are dual voltage. I went to dublin in January, and I was able to get a dual voltage hair dryer from Walmart for like $20. My cell phone charger was fine, but just make sure it says both voltages or else it can melt your appliances!

I caint see good enough to tell if it is 110v. But, it is 1875 watt. It is a great blow drier, I love it!! Dries fast and had the right amount of heat to get the job done. My hair looks a lot better since I started using it. Most important it does not dry my hair out the ends of my hair and I have less frizz. I hope this helped

Clothes dryers need 4000W. This one is only capable of converting up to 500W. Not sure you want to move major electronic and other appliances to the U.S. unless they can run on 110V.

Yes, the transformer runs on both 110/220 but you may need a plug adapter depending on your area, it comes with the two prong U.S type plug.

Yes it will work on all 110V-120V kitchen appliances and dryers that are gas. it won't work on all electric dryers, they are 220V so it won't work for them.

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 converterto 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 dryerwill burn out.PS: Use a converter not a adapter (wich is not for the same use)

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
