Is it safe to use on TV or hair dryer with 1875W?

A hair dryer does not use any electricity when turned off, so there's no point.

I dont use it for my TV but for Hairdryer and toaster and toaster oven. Read what I found on Belkin website:USE IT ANYWHERE IN YOUR HOMEThe Conserve Power Switch can be used with curling irons, clothes irons, electric grills, coffeemakers and space heaters to save energy and make your home safer and tidier. Use with lighting, fans and heaters to limit the electricity they use. Eliminate standby power when charging mobile phones, MP3 players, Bluetooth devices and digital cameras.Good luck,

I would not use on hair dryer. Just my opinion. 1875W is roughly 15.6 amps. I believe the specifications said 15 amps and I do not want to take any chances. I use it for a microwave which is 1500W, so it is around 12.5 amps. I also use it on a toaster, and other small appliances.

Yes - as long as the outlet is capable of it - there would be no problems. My wife has these all over the house including her hair dryer...

the product is wired only for 110-120 volts, so you would need a voltage converter. it only uses 10 watts, so you don't need a converter that can power a hair dryer. the issue of 50hz instead of 60hz may actually affect intensity of the vibrating action. don't know the answer to that one. contact Wahl?

Hi, Sweet m. I don't have packaging or the product to look at. The current/amps required would be on the (UL) sticker on the bottom of the product. You can calculate the maximum current with I = P/V 1040 Watts/ 110 volts = 9.5 amps. This would work ok on a standard 15A or 20A circuit. If you are thinking about a dorm room, if they allow 1200W or 1500W hair dryers, this should be allowed too.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

According to the specs it goes as high as 1800 watts or (15 amps) (1800/120 = 15). The unit should be fine on just about anything a house hold appliance can take. Refridgerator/freezer/TV, you should have not problem. Typically an outlet will only offer a total of 15 amps before the breaker will trip, so this unit is fine for you.

It all depends on how much wattage your washer/dryer draws. They also make this one: Power Bright VC750W Voltage Transformer 750 Watt Step Up/Down converter 110/120 Volt - 220/240 VoltThat is rated at 750 Watts, but you'd really need to know how much wattage is required and the get one that is rated above that wattage for safety sake.

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.

Uganda uses 240V and the same plugs as the UK: this will work in Uganda. As to the hair dryer: that will depend on the circuit you use. To get the full wattage you need a 7.5 Amp minimum circuit. I suspect the normal circuits will be 5 Amps (the most typical) so you won't get the 1875 Watts. But also check the hair dryer as it may have a 240V setting to accommodate the local voltage and give better performance. The adapter does not step the voltage down so the hair dryer will have to or it will likely burn out.

I don't work for the company, just commenting as another customer. The hair dryer might be the issue. Even small ones are 600+ watts.

i bought an "american 110v" hair dryer. it can be used without any special socket but i cant use it at full speed. It will be cut off in less than 10 seconds of use. can only use the lowest speed of 3 available. i think in long term, it will spoil(burn) the cable. Pity i have to give the iron to a Taiwanese

Shouldn't hurt at all. Computer will only draw what it needs. It won't fry any more than plugging that 90w charger into a wall outlet that has about 1800 watts or more potential in it. (120V X 15A)

The hair dryer is only meant to run on 100v. The US's voltage is 120v, meaning that the hair dryer is being supplied with 20% more voltage. As a result of the increase in voltage, the hair dryer will consume 44% more power and get 44% hotter. This is dangerous so please buy a transformer with a higher wattage (2000 watt - 3000 watt). The hair dryer uses 1200w so do not be cheap and try to buy a 500 watt or 1000 watt transformer; the fuse will blow out when you turn on the hair dryer.

You could, but remember it is only good for small devises i. e. electric razor, tooth brush. Do not try to plug in a curling iron or hair dryer. Hair dryers are 800 watts this transformer is capable of only 150 watts. When going to Europe you cannot use any heating device on their system from the USA.Cell phone and computer chargers will operate in Europe using just an adapter.

I do not know if that would be a good idea. The warning with the converter states "Do not use with Power Tools, Computers, Fax Machines, TVs, VCRs, Stereos, etc." I do not know if that would include a printer but I would think so. The high wattage would cover it, that is for sure, but I do not know if a printer would fall under the "do not use with" category ... and it may depend on how often you plan on using the printer. Another warning they have is that you can use hair dryers on the 1875 watt setting but NOT a hair straightener ... I have no idea why, perhaps more wattage used with the latter.

This thing is totes washer and dryer safe. Just make sure you disconnect the power cable first!

1800 Watts, which is normal wattage for a hair dryer. The infra-red feature makes it dry ones hair much faster than a non-infra-red dryer, so, total energy usage is lower with this dryer.

It might not have enough power for a hair dryer. Mostly for electronic devices.
