Hair Dryer Trouble

I know I am spoiled when I have to take my hairdryer to Italy!! How do American dryers work with the adaptors? I am not sure about some of the dryers in the hotels.
Can't have a bad hair day in Florence!!!

If your dryer says "110-220V" somewhere on it, buy a plug adapter and switch it to the 220V setting when you pack it to travel.

If it doesn't, buy an Italian dryer.

I would check with your hotels. I have found almost all now have them - so why drag your own along?

Ugh, one more thing to lug around. Most all hotels have them in the bathrooms, while not the greatest, they get the job done.

As stated above, check to see if your hotel has one. If so, that is one less thing to carry.

If not, get a small folding one that is 120-240. These will usually only work on on setting on 240, don't remember if it is high or low.

You will need a adaptor plug. Also, if you take a power adaptor, make sure that the power rating is high enough for your needs.
