TRULY a life-saver! If you'e traveling in Europe and staying in hotels or AirBNBs where you might not have access to a hair dryer, this is so useful. It comes out of the box set to US voltage, you'll need a dime or a penny to insert in the tiny round button at the base of the hair-dryer, turn it all the way to the EU voltage setting. IMPORTANT:: If you read the instruction booklet, it informs you that when used in Europe, on the EU voltage setting, you should ONLY click the dryer into the "LOW" position. Setting the dryer to "LOW" on EU voltage actually makes it work as if it were on a "HIGH" setting on max heat. There is no way to use it on the EU voltage and use it on a setting that blows in a way you'd expect a normal "LOW" or "COOL" setting on an American hairdryer to work. Fine by me though, as it's tiny and not salon-dryer powerful so I can't imagine wanting to use this on a setting other than "high & hot."
TLDR; When using it in Europe:
1. Make sure you used a coin to switch the voltage knob on the front to the EU voltage setting
2. On EU voltage, ONLY use with switch in the "LOW" position - counter-intuitively this will give you the equivalent of a dryer set to "HIGH/MAX HEAT" and the booklet says this is the only safe setting to use when abroad.

Conair does not stand behind their products
By Karoline A Chiavetta on April 12, 2019
I dislike that I bought this grey travel model in May of 2018; it broke in March of 2019. I find this to be unacceptable. I just called customer service and they want me to send the unit back at my expense, and then the shipping dept. would make a determination whether to replace or not. The blue one is an older and heavier Conair called a Cordkeeper. The cord no longer retracts. Both are poorly made, and don't last. Years ago I had a Conair that lasted several years; it finally broke in the sense that the buttons wouldn't work; I had to plug it in to use it and unplug it to stop it.By Karoline A Chiavetta on April 12, 2019
