Hairdryer (USA) - Shops in Cork?

Grun · 2010-10-08 19:12:00

Hi, I'm going to the USA next week and heard that my hairdryer won't work fully over there and that I will need to get a low voltage one instead - Does anyone know any shops in Cork that sell these (I'll be going into the city tomorrow to purchase a few things)? What voltage would I be looking for? Thanks!!

Just get yourself a step up transformer in the airport if you're flying from Dublin or Best Buy or somewhere like that when you get there.

These will work better than a step up transformer. Normally there is a little dial where you can change from one voltage to another http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/4427940/Trail/searchtext%3ETRAVEL+HAIRDRIER.htm
