I used mine in France and Italy for a curling iron where it worked perfectly. When I used it with my 1875 watt hair dryer, it turned off after about 5 minutes. I thought it was broken but it worked fine again in a few minutes. I'm guessing it got too hot and needed to cool down. Good product--Enjoy!

This is a 200 watt converter and you hair dryer is likely between 1200 and 2100 watts, so no, that would be a bad idea.

I used it in London and Paris with an adapter in the wall outlet. I then plugged my curling iron into it which worked great. I don't know if a hair dryer would be any different than a hair dryer.

Unfortunately I don't know and I can't test it either as our dryer is a regular US version. My Husband said that it depends how much capacity the dryer needs. He suspected that if it says 2500 W it might not work with 5000W transformer, also if you google it, you will find "recommend using a voltage converter / transformer which has a Wattage that is 2 to 3 times higher than your appliance. " http://www.220-electronics.com/voltage-converter-buying-guide.htmlSorry, that I could not help much with your question!

It has been used with a 110/220 hair dryer in England, France, Belgium, Sweden and Germany. It is an adaptor and max 250 v.

I think you need the adapter and the converter. One plugs into the other to form a unit. Otherwise you risk not only damaging your equipment but also either tripping the power in the apartment or even worse. And, yes, every place I stayed in Italy had hair dryers. Check into that because it seems to draw more current than anything else.

Try Amazon again and type in hair dryer 220 Volt . There are several options .

The max used of any adapter is 5 amps in most countries. The adaper is loaded with a 5 amp fuse for europe use. If the hairdryer works with your own socket outlets its more than likely it would. I cannot veryfy the wattage as itis 1 1/2 kilowats which is slightly heavy for any adaptor. Suggest you check the adaptors website and follow what they recomend

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

It has a 3-prong plug so you may need a plug adapter (I don't know what type of plugs are common in India). If your wife's hairdryer can handle 220V then it should work fine. If her hairdryer is only compatible with 110V then it will probably get fried. It seems that most of the newer ones are compatible with both 110 and 220.

I use mine for charging cell phones, you just have to check the wattage output on your inverter because there are different ones. then check what the watts are on your hair dryer,chances are that its not going to work for you because todays hairdryers are alot more powerfull that ever before, like they do go up to 1875 watts and like my inverter, it only puts out a constant wattage of 300 watts. A short time of 600 watts, check the ratings on the appliance and inverter. Maybe an older hairdryer might work but there probably are not any of those around anymore.

Yes, I live in the US and I love this hair dryer. It has a strong air flow.

Turkey and Greece both work off of 220. You would use the 2 prong round with your U.S. Cords plugged into it. I would be very careful running your hair dryer, though. Use the low setting if you can. Normally the high setting will cause it to blow and you won't be able to use it any more. The curling iron should be fine. If you're only visiting those two countries you won't need to take any of the other adapters. Have a great trip!

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!

Hi Pam, I should work fine. I have used it in Spain, France, Italy and Pakistan. The best blow-dryer i've used so far. I even bought the american version it's so good!!

The power adapter that comes with this is rated 120V only, so it won't work in Europe for 230V, even if you adapt the North American pins to the European socket. You'll really need an adaptor, such as the item "Seven Star 200 Watt 220/240V to 110/120V AC - Step Down Travel Converter" found on
