Plug Adapter
July 25th, 2009
With a plug adapter, do European appliances work in the US?
If I bought an appliance in europe, let's say a hair dryer, would I be able to use it in the US with just the Eur-->US plug adapter, or would I also need a voltage converter?
I know I would need a plug adaptor. The reason I ask is that I have a European cellphone and was able to charge it here in the US with the Euro adapter (two round pins) it came with and a Euro-->US plug adapter with no problems. But I know that that appliance doesn't use as much power as a hair dryer or stereo or something like that.
Some items do.
An adapter is of course necessary for all applicances unless you rewire a new plug on.
As UK/EU power is much stronger than the us, when the hair dryer is plugged in here in the us barely any air blows through the hairdryer. But my hair straighteners work fine because you can adjust the heat on the side.
However most appliances are way way cheaper in the us than uk or eu
