If this converter shouldn't be used for hair dryers and that sort of thing, is there another one thats recommended instead?

I blew the fuse on this converter with a hair dryer. Only good for flat irons, wireless router, and such.

It may work for a hair dryer, but my electric shaver acts a little weird (high rev) when plugged in to this device. It works for my laptop and phone charger, but the shaver sounds like it's about to take off in to space!

I used the converter for my hair dryer, curling iron & charging my electronics.

I don't know - but a lot of hair dryers have a switch/button that says 120/240. My daughter took her hair dryer and simply turned the switch. You do need to get the wall adapter because are plugs are different. She said it worked fine. Hope this helps

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

You would need a converter, not just a plug adapter. But if it has some kind of battery charger, you can look on it and see if it goes up to 240 volts (UK-Europe).

Used hair dryer in London.. Very heavy over a pound. Comes with replaceable 5 amp glass fuses to protect delicate computers. My guess is yes. Bring a 10 amp fuse in case. Converter is a beast, should handle a fan cooler.

Yes if you have an adapter connected to your hair dryer and your dryer is dual voltage. If it's not dual voltage you will need a converter and adapter. I would confirm if I were you if Isreal is on 220 volt if so you shouldn't have any issues.

The manufacturers usually say that the converter cannot be used with hair dryer or iron type of appliance. I have never tried. If you're traveling where you'll be in a good hotel, most provide you with either hair dryer, OR have a converter to use with USA appliances. Some USA model hair dryers have switchable voltage (as do electric razors), and ARE able to be used with the converter- as long as the dryer is switched to the 220v setting.

I would not. It 'fried' a hair-dryer of mine and I don't think it's worth the risk. I've had other converters in the past that were considerably larger and more expensive with which I never had any problems.

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

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!

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.

If you bring a converter with you, it most likely can. Converters work well with hair dryers, too.

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.

Depends on the power requirements of the device. As long as it doesn't surpass max watts capacity of the converter, you are good to use it.

If the hair dryer is rated 220-240volts and it consumes 500watts of power or less, then it will work. Dryers are usually high energy consumers because of their heating elements so I wouldn't recommend you using a dryer on it. It's more suitable for household electronics

No. You can plug two items into this. One on the top and one on the front side. I used this constantly for curling iron, hair dryer, lap top, iPhone, etc. and never had issues once or considered getting a converter.

I live in a 220v country and have used it for my steam mop which is 110v. so yes you can used it for a hair blower. switch the adapter to 1875w mode for hair blower

Here is some info about a converter that you may want to check in to. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080121211719AAVfrRcI'm not sure that the above like I gave you will open. If you just "google" your question, such as "do I need a converter adaptor for my hairsetter in Europe", you will get a lot of information...much more than I could give you in my own words. Good luck!
