So it's a converter and adapter in one? Because apparently I need a power converter also in order to use a hair dryer/crimper in the UK and it looks

It does not convert 240 down to 120 See note in description area:NOTE: This charger adapter plug converts the power outlet only, it does NOT convert electrical output current and voltage. Please make sure your device carries a electrical converter when you travel to other countries with different electrical output.

It's just an adapter. I suggest buying a hair dryer (and checking your other electronic devices) that can handle a range of currents 120-240v. Otherwise, you risk buring out the device.

It's adapter. ...since different countries have different power plugging and hence u can use the product from US in your country. ....it's really good. I use this. ..but it will not convert a to dc or vice versa.

It only adapts for different plug shapes. It does not make the 220 to 110 conversion.

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...

YES! This is the hair dryer you want for Europe! I used it in France, no adapter required. It should work in all of Europe. However if you plan a stop in the UK you will need an adapter for there.

This is a plug adapter, not a transformer. If your flat iron can work on 220 Volts - that's all you need, otherwise you need a transformer. I myself had to take a transformer with me for the hairdryer. But this plug adapter was enough for the computers and cell phone chargers.

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.

No I'm sorry, the adapter that comes with this product is a US standard power outlet, you'll have to get a converter.

No. The rollers convert automatically to the current of most countries you are in so you do not need the power converter in a lot of countries. However you do need the actual outlet kit so the plugs match which can be purchases inexpensively.

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

I take it you meant power converter with adapter. Most of the lower price converters are good for 1500 watts or less. Personally,I wouldn't risk turning it into a smoking hunk of metal and plastic. Being in India,why not buy a cheap one locally and leave the heavy one at home.

If you "Google" "Do I need an electric adaptor, you will find the information you need. Here is the link: http://askville.amazon.com/electrical-converter-travel-Australia-month/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2564574 It states that you do need both an adaptor and a converter.

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.

I don't think you need a converter, all electronics today have it built-in. The only thing you will need is a 240v curling iron/straightener, even the converter's seem to burn out their motor's. I used the adapter for my phone, kindle, camera, shaver. My wife bought a 240v curling iron someone in our group used their 120v with a converter and it burnt out.

This is NOT a converter, it is an adapter. It allows you to use US-standard plugs in a variety of foreign outlets. It does NOT convert higher voltage to 110V and you will fry an appliance unless it is already suited for 100/240 use (like most computer power supplies are). All you need to do is look at the device you need to use and see what it will handle for voltage - if it says something like 100-240V you can use this adapter anywhere, otherwise you need to get a step-down transformer (heavier and usually a bit more expensive).

The power adapter is meant for the USA so the question is what type of adapter do you need to get power devices in the USA to work in whatever European country you are in or traveling to. This question is more generic in that you would face the same issue with a hair dryer or coffee pot that was made for use in the USA. I am unaware of the voltage in European power grid, but my guess would be you would need an adapter to get the plug to fit in a European outlet even if the voltages are the same.

by power converter, you mean a transformer? or an adaptor that just switches the plug? thanks

Hello. It's a standard US outlet so it would need an adaptor and quite likely a converter as well

That all depends on the hair dryer or straightener, if they can be changed from 110V to 220V if so you will not need a converter. However some hair dryers do not recommend using them with a converter. My wife ruined a hair dryer with a converter.
