Can I buy a step down voltage converter capable of dealing with an American 1875 watt hair dryer fro

I stupidly bought a hairdryer from America blissfully unaware that they use a lower voltage setting than the uk. As the cost of sending it back makes it pointless i wanted to know if there was anywhere in the uk i could order a voltage converter. They are available in American travel shops for about $15 but i have been unable to find anything similar in the UK. Low wattage voltage converters are cheap and available from amazon or maplins but 1875 watt voltage converters are either unavailable, massively bulky or cost about 鎷?0.



Any ideas where i can get a little cheap one like the travel converters advertised on american travel sites?

A step-down voltage transformer will do what you want. Look for one that will decrease your voltage to 115 volts. It doesn't have to be exact, anywhere from 110 to 120 volts will do. I can't quote a price but a step-down transformer shouldn't be too expensive. Sorry I can't give you a source but at least you have another option.
