Can you plug a U.S hair straightener into this?? Also a blow dryer??

Hi! Yes. Appliances such as the ones you describe are exactly what this product was designed for. The difficulties will arise when people try to use it to plug in their laptop computers and other similar, more sensitive electronics, which can literally get 'fried' using this product. Unfortunately that is not mentioned anywhere on the Amazon page for this product, only on the packaging itself, which means you have to order it, as I did, thinking you were going to use it for any item needing an adapter/power converter from what's normally used in North America to plug it in and have it work in Great Britain & Europe, etc. - only to discover when you read the package and the instructions insert that it is _NOT_ recommended for electronics, only appliances.

I never tried plugging anything in that required heating up. I only used chargers for phones. Would check amperage requirements I guess. Some have suggested buying these hair care products at destination so will work with their current.

Nope, you do not need an adapter to plug it into outlets in America! It's an awesome hair dryer! I've been using this hair dryer for years!

Yes, it should work very well with a straightener. Just plug the straightener into the adapter and the adapter into the wall outlet.

Just use the correct "plug" for London outlet; the straightener will automatically use correct voltage

Yes you can. The adapter is a Grounded Ceramic Adapter Plug. Max Capacity Up to 3000-Watt (max 250 Volt, 13 A). This is a very good quality adapter, not cheap plastic. Your hair drier and curling iron is probably 1500-watts max.

a plug converter is all you need and make sure you have adjusted the setting on the actual hair dryer for the voltage that is being used. Works wonderfully :)

I do not yet own this product but I believe that you can buy a voltage converter and plug it into that. I have used USA products in India via this method. It works with some products but it did not work with a hair iron. You just have to try it I suppose. Buy a good quality converter though.

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 assume this is for overseas use? Make sure the items are the correct voltage before attempting to plug into these adapters. Curling irons and hair dryers will work IF they are the right power voltage. The device should specify 100 - 240v or just 220 - 240 if using overseas.

does it work to convert a USA hairdryer for use in an Indian outlet? What about a USA iPhone charger or laptop? Otherwise what else do I need?

It does come with a hair straightener, so yes you can straighten your hair or use it to also curl your hair

It depends which is not the answer you wanted to hear! Check out the wattage of the hair dryer - if it exceeds the wattage of the power outlet then no.

Yes. You can use it just like a regular blow dryer if you take the brush off. There is also a round brush that comes along with it too to make curls.

No. I bought this because I was going to Israel and was told not to bring hair dryer and straightener/curling iron. I only used it to straighten my bands and a little bit of top layer. It did okay.

it's a 2 pin U.S. plug, but you can probably get an adapter , very good hair dryer!

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.

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.
