Whitworths [ the Marine people]  have 12 volt Blow-dryers, with fold-up handles for easy storage.   2 models, one for $19.9,  and a Delux model for $25.95.
Not sure if they're in other States.  This lot's in Qld.
Just Google  12 volt Hair-dryers.
Cheers,

I hope you have big batteries xina...... Cheers, Peter

yep we found the same, the dragon has one that doubles as a mini clothes iron, comes in two peices that very cleverly clip together, very handy thing but she cant use it, too much power requirement

Do yours plug in to the cigarette lighter? Cheers, xina.

yep!

Will it use too much from the Solar Battery?  And how about if you leave the engine running while using it, for the car battery?
Cheers,

if you use the dryer for 10 minutes then going by the average alternater replacement voltage it would take about an hour and a half with the engine running at 1500 rpm or better just to replace what you have used it would also depend on the size of your solar panel as to how much the hair dryer would take out and how long it would take to replace the useage remembering that the dryer is not the only thing drawing power the dryer is a very heavy consumer of power, surely the sun would do the same??

Then what is the point of making them then? Just to rip people off? Cheers, xina.

we found them not to work too good either, I guess if you were driving from one place to another and had the engine at cruising speed then it would be okay, most of these things are little more than gimmicks I have found
