What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?

The other answers are correct and a voltage converter is required (plus a plug adapter if the converter is not equipped with a USA plug).





However, my experience is that appliances like you list do


NOT work well on another voltage - even with a converter.





I recommend you simply purchase the items in the USA after you arrive. They are available everywhere and are not expensive in the USA.





It may even cost less than purchasing a converter, particularly since the USD has been taking a beating in the exchange markets.What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?
You will need two items. One is a voltage adapter. Australia uses 240v electricity. The US uses 120v. You will also need a plug adapter. Australia and the US use different electrical outlets, so you can't just plug an appliance from one country into an outlet in the other country.What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?
A step up transformer.
