Will this dryer work as-is in England and Scotland? Thankyou.

It worked great in France. You may need a plug adapter. I am taking it to Italy next week.

In the UK you need to use an adapter plug with the three prongs for UK sockets. Almost all hotels have them but very cheap and easy to buy un US before you leave. The 220 voltage is the same for UK so works fine once add adapter plug.

It works great in Italy and France but the plug configuration might be different in England from continental Europe.

You'd have to check with the seller or manufacturer. I can only speak for the fact that it was compatible with England's outlets which is what I purchased it for.

In Euope the plugs on 220 appliances should be the same. Only in USA do we change the plug on a 220 appliance but the plug end on this adaptor would not be compatible with the 220 plug of the dryer on the wall in the USA.

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

Italy for sure it worked fine for me..... We just got back. If you needed a ground like for a hair dryer. Portugal not sure have not been there but it should.

No, it won't, this is for a 110V lower wattage appliance. True, the plugs for 110V vs 220V appliances are different. This works well for a regular grounded plug/small appliance, but you have to check the watt limit for the plug and the appliance. The thing about a dryer is it is almost always 220V (V for volts), regular small appliances are 110Vs. An electric dryer or stove uses alot of electricity, and it must be plugged into a higher power 220V outlet, this switch works only with lower power 110V appliances and outlets. Confusing, but important...

Probably but I don't recall. You'll have to check w the merchant or Elchim. My sister had this dryer for 10 year and I have had mine for 2.

It depends where you are going. You can get an adaptor kit that contains converters for different countries. It is lightweight, but it is a full-size hair dryer. Brookstone used to have a travel dryer.

Yes, it will definitely work in all those countries...and also the UK which has its own unusual socket design.

I used I in Germany, England, and Wales with just the outlet adaptor. So, yes.

I used mine in Germany two weeks ago. Operated/charged a MacBook (the white brick plugs into it with the standard 2 prong plug), an iPad, and an iPhone at the same time. It plugs right into the Euro wall boxes. I also use it the same way here in the states. Am not sure why it wouldn't work for a hair dryer. It will not work for anything that has a 3 prong plug, only 2 prong plugs.

It worked in England. My daughter used with her ipad, hair dryer, straightener, etc.

This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either. I've been told European electrical currant is stronger than our and will burn up a computers, smartphone, etc. so I used this type plug to "downsize" the electrical current. BTW I've been told to purchase a curling iron/ hair dryer in Europe because even with any adaptor the European current will burn it up for some reason. They're not that expensive & it's better to be safe than loose a good hair culer or hair dryer. Also many hotels have some you may borrow at the front desk. Good luck. Enjoy your trip. Ireland is beautiful - I had only one rainy day, but it was quite windy.S This plug can be used in Ireland, England & Scotland for sure. I don't understand electrical currant either.

Yes! You will need a European adapter/plug-in, and use the dryer on the lowest wattage setting. I used this on the higher wattage setting and accidentally blew out the power in the villa we had in Italy. Easy to fix but embarrassing.

I wouldn't try it. Check their voltage and buy a dryer that matches. I've ruined one dryer and friends have ruined dryers using converters. Lots cheaper to buy a voltage appropriate. Our dryers are too strong!

yes, and it works quite well. my only problem with the dryer is that since it is considered a "commercial" device the cord is very long and fairly heavy.

This dryer has a little switch on the handle (the circular black disc below the dryer switch) which will allow you to choose 125V or 220V. The setting I received it at is 125V (in USA). You will need a travel adapter, but other than that, it is meant for dual voltage, so it should work. I usually use the dryers the hotels have, haven't bothered to carry one with me. Hope this helps.
