Will this work for a 220V clothes dryer in USA if 110 is all that's available at present?

if you read the instructions that came with the transformer you will know if it will handle the current draw of your clothes dryer. there is no mention of current draw on the transformer itself, so you will have to read your instruction booklet.

Clothes dryers need 4000W. This one is only capable of converting up to 500W. Not sure you want to move major electronic and other appliances to the U.S. unless they can run on 110V.

I think it is 120V. It is made for use in the USA and we only use 240V for clothes dryers and larger appliances. This is made to plug into regular USA outlets. Sorry, hope that answers your question.

Hello, the short answer is no. THere are several 220 volt outlets. The plug on this unit would not fit into a dryer outlet, its a 20amp. I am assuming you could change the plug or adapt it. Google a 220 volt 20 amp and a 220 volt 30 amp plug you will see the difference. Good Luck.

It's 110 volts which is the normal plug. 220 volts is what electric dryers and ranges use which is for heavy duty appliances.

i see many different answers posted here, the bottom line is you need to know what amp your dryer is. look at the picture of the extension cord and look at the plug on your dryer if the prongs match this cord will work. there are many different plugs out there for 220 powered appliances. in my case the cord is used for a 20 amp. 240 volt garage heater, not a dryer and if i had a 30 amp heater this plug would not work. before you order please compare the cord plug or ask a friend or nieghbor that is familiar with electric power for advice so that you don't make a poor purchase.

This question was asked before and the documentation with the phones say 110. 220 volt is for things like dryers and other items that take a great deal of power.

Only 110 is listed on the dryer, and nothing is said about 220 on the box or paperwork.

Here in the US the standard is 110V with a couple of breakers set up with 220 for the dryer and such. You can tell a 220 because they're the ones with the big plug with tines that come out in a triangle. I believe the EU uses 220. Adapters have to be used when you jump the pond.

I'm not an electrician, but I have lived in Europe and all our 110v appliances (hair dryer, vacuum cleaner etc) worked on 220v with a voltage converter.

it is for that voltage in ireland/scotland, but it will not work with 110 volt appliances from the USA. You either need to buy a converter that will change the voltage (I think they are pretty expensive) or you need to buy appliances that are dual voltage. I went to dublin in January, and I was able to get a dual voltage hair dryer from Walmart for like $20. My cell phone charger was fine, but just make sure it says both voltages or else it can melt your appliances!

Yes this step up power transformer will provide the required volltage for a 220 - 240 dyrer but I am not sure what the watt usage of the dryer. The power supply will only support 1500 watts but proably a little less that published value. Make sur to find out it the wattage requirement of the dryer before purchasing the pwer supply to make sure it will support the dryer.

The device does not have a dual voltage option like some other dryers. Since its origin is in the US, I'd recommend against using it in 220V countries.

It's 110v.0votes The dryer is both 110 and 220 volt. You just have to turn a screw. It worked well but has only a low setting at 220v

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!

not quite sure i've only ever used it on my regular 120v...i really think you shouldn't use the 220 plug, those are for stove, ac, dryers

I'm pretty sure it would be 110 as it is just plugged into a regular outlet. I think 220 is for stuff like clothes dryers. I assume you are refering to a hair dryer.
