Re: electrical convertor Posted on: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:47:26 GMT

Just for the record, hair dryers are not multivoltage. All switching
them to the 220v reading does is lock it so that it cannot run on
high, since running a 120v dryer on low is the same thing as running
it on high with a 120v circuit. You do need a european plug convertor
though.
