Camping hairdryer

[U.Toadifact]

No, not for me. I haven't needed a hairdryer for years! However Mrs T has very long hair and She would like to have any recommendations for a hairdryer for use off grid. I suppose she will be limited to 12volt versions, although we do have a small 900W generator for longer off grid stays.

All recommendation greatfully received.

Quite a frequent question on here but the general consensus it that 12v ones aren't very effective.
Have a look at these comments on the same subject from just one thread a few weeks ago...........

Jan uses Braun gas powered tongs.

Ah yes. Thank you for the reference. I should have searched. I reckon the 12v versions are out.

12v about as much use as a chocolate tea pot

Mine dries well with the windows open.

My French Princess has a mains hairdryer which can be run by her 750 watt genny.

An inverter with a decent set of batteries and plenty of solar to replenish

Mrs I2C uses a 1200w 240v hair dryer from Amazon (not sure of the make) when on EHU. Never did find a 12v one so went for one that is CL/Campsite friendly instead. Seems to work well, haven’t heard any complaints since she’s had it.

Mrs T has a relatively low watage dryer but it has two settings and the higher setting trips our generator even with no other load. She'll have to get by with the lower setting I reckon.

Duxette appears to have self-drying hair. Now waist length due to Covid restrictions.
