DUAL VOLTAGE HAIR DRYER

We all know the situation: you pack all your necessary goods for a business trip or holiday, including the essential hair dryer, and when you reach your destination trouble awaits - your hair dryer will not operate on the local mains voltage! It's the same the world over, and that's why most manufacturers offer a dual voltage hair dryer among their range, or many, and they are generally aimed at the user who is a frequent traveller or the holidaymaker who simply needs a hair dryer that will work abroad. They tend to be compact and neat, yet very capable, as well as lightweight, and as the examples chosen show, they need not cost the earth.
