It seems like it should work for blow dryers also? The GF likes to take gets with her so it seems like a good option!
Blow dryers use a specific wattage, so you'll most likely need an inverter. I recommend checking the wattage and voltage at your travel destination to see if it's compatible.

Voltage is what's most important, not wattage. The hair dryer must be able to accept 240v.

Most accept 240v but they use different wattage around the world.. I could not use my hairdryer in japan because they had lower wattage in a lot of places.

tl;dr:. US hair dryers will work in Japan and other countries that use 110V or similar. Only US travel hair dryers that have switching for 100-240V can be used in countries that use 220/230/240V unless you use a Voltage transformer that is rated to be able to handle hair dryers

"Wattage" does not relate to whether a US hair dryer that runs only on 110/120V can work overseas (Most US hair dryers that are not "Travel Hair dryers" do not have the switching to run on the 220/240V power that are common overseas).
It is not because "they had lower Wattage in a lot of places" or "use different wattage around the world" – I'm not even sure what that means. Outlets in Japan are 100V, and use a similar two-prong plug, though there are a few with a third grounding plug similar to what is in the US.
A US hairdryer will work in Japan by just plugging it into a regular outlet, though the output will be slightly less powerful due to the lower Voltage.
Be aware that this travel adapter does NOT have a Voltage converter so it will not run appliances (such as hair dryers, electric toothbrushes and shavers that only work on 110/120V). Except it does have the converter for the USB plugs.
Most electronic chargers, e.g., for your phone, tablet, laptop, games, etc., will work on 100-240V connections. You can just plug them directly into the wall outlet, as long as you have the correct adapter. You can usually buy adapters that fit your US plug and the local outlet at your foreign location for about dollar or two, so you really don't need an expensive "universal" adapter. Just bring your regular chargers and get a cheap adapter when you arrive.

Yes, wattage and voltage both matter when using appliances abroad — especially for things like hair dryers, which are high-wattage devices.Here's what likely happened in Japan: • Japan uses 100V electricity, while: • The U.S. uses 120V • Most of Europe uses 220–240V • If your hair dryer is made only for 120V (U.S. standard), it won't work properly on Japan's 100V. It may run weak, not heat up, or not turn on at all.⸻Why Wattage & Voltage Matter: • Wattage = How much power the appliance needs. • Voltage = What the wall outlet supplies. • If your device's wattage is too high for the travel adapter or converter, it might: • Blow a fuse • Trip the circuit • Damage the device⸻What You Can Do: 1. Check the label on your appliance.Look for:Input: 100–240V ~ 50/60HzIf it says that, it's dual voltage, and you just need a plug adapter. 2. If it only says 120V, you need a: • Voltage converter (not just a plug adapter) • But be careful — most converters can't handle high-watt devices like hair dryers. 3. Best solution: Buy a travel hair dryer with dual voltage (100–240V) built in.⸻Summary: • Wattage matters for safety. • Voltage matters for compatibility. • Always check your appliance label before plugging in overseas.Would you like help picking a good dual-voltage travel dryer or understanding adapters/converters better?⚠️ 2. Wattage Affects Power LoadHair dryers typically draw 1000–1875 watts. That's a lot. • Many travel voltage converters can't handle that high wattage. • If you use a standard voltage converter rated for 200W or 500W with a 1600W dryer, it may overheat, shut off, or break. • Even hotel outlets in some countries limit wattage — especially in older buildings.✅ Solution:Look for a travel-specific hair dryer that's: • Dual voltage • Lower wattage (1000–1200W is usually safe and effective abroad)Yeah i can use chat gpt too lol you were wrong even if you used AI lol

I did not use AI. Perhaps you can tell by how my response is worded compared to how AI or Chat GPT would have answered – as in how your Chat GPT posting is worded.
Yes, Wattage does matter, and what is displayed in the answer you received by Chat GPT about the Wattage limit of a Voltage converter you use (some will be limited to only 50-100W, for electronics, and others can handle the up to 1875W of a hair dryer), shows it can be a problem anywhere--if it exceeds the capacity of the wiring or converter, and this is not limited to Japan or any particular country.
Also, yes, the line current that the wiring in a house or hotel has a limit and if it has a 15A breaker on 100V and you're running your hair dryer on high heat at 1875W and there are other high Wattage appliances on the same line, it could trip the breaker.
It's not a matter of proving what I said is wrong (and lol-ing over it), A US hairdryer will work in Japan--unless you blow the circuit breaker--but that has nothing to do with being in Japan. It has to do with using a greater load than what the circuit breaker can handle and that can happen in the US or anywhere else.
I think what you are describing is that in places where you tried to use your hair dryer in Japan, they had limits in how much power an appliance you could use on that circuit, and not that your hair dryer would not work at all. Unless you meant that you plugged it in, turned it on high and it tripped the circuit breaker.
Did you plug in your hair dryer and it would not work at all? Or were there signs saying you could not use hair dryers on the circuit?
