Do you bring your Dyson overseas?

[Anonymous]

I know their site recommends it due to voltage and liability but I’m wondering if it would really be a problem to bring my Dyson to London or Paris with adapter.

You need a voltage converter. If you use just a plug adaptor, it will plug in, possibly turn on and then break.

I hope you aren’t carrying a vacuum for a vacation.

Um, why?
Should only travel with medical equipment IMO

I didn’t bring it overseas but on domestic work trips this year and it made such a difference! I refuse to use a junky hotel hair dryer again.

Does Dyson make hair dryers? I assumed OP meant vacuum. Either way, you need a converter.

To be clear, an adapter that allows you to plug it is not sufficient. You need a voltage converter that also steps down the cycles. If you don’t, please don’t be surprised when it starts smoking and fries in seconds.

Yes, PP they make hair dryers. You really thought people were taking vacuums on airplanes?

I would not bring your Dyson hair appliance overseas. It will break, even with the correct converter.

Agreed. Those converters can be wonky, especially with higher wattage devices. I wouldn't mess around with using an expensive device on non-120v electricity.

This is DCUM. I guarantee that there is at least one poster who is taking a vacuum on to an airplane. I’m even willing to bet they’re taking it as a carry-on.

Also agree. I blew out an expensive flat iron in Italy using a converter. It never worked again. Then I bought a cheap flat iron/brush off Amazon that has dual voltage and that's what I bring when I travel out of the country. Obviously not the same, but it straightens my hair just fine.

I travel a lot and ended up buying a UK Shark dryer just for travel and then I can use it in most places in Europe and Asia with just a travel adaptor (no need for voltage converter). It was so worth it for me, so if you are a frequent traveler it might be worth it.

Just wear your hair curly. Who has time for this on vacation?

Usually when people talk about Dyson they mean the vacuum, since that was how Dyson made their name.
