A conventional hair dryer uses a lot of energy and such a high power that few camper vans can cope with. Therefore, here you will find unconventional hair dryers that operate on a voltage of 12 volts, i.e. that you can plug it into any car cigarette lighter.
Operation and benefits
These hairdryers operate at a current of between 15 and 20 amps, which means that for every hour they will be drawing between 15 and 20 amp hours from your car battery or camper's auxiliary battery.
Among its pros are the following:
✅ Low power consumption compared to conventional dryers
✅ Most models are foldable, so they take up little space in your camper.
✅ The price is quite affordable.
✅ Provide hot and cold air at different velocities
Reminder
Don't expect a high-powered product and don't expect things to dry in seconds. These appliances have an average power of 200W, compared to a home hairdryer that delivers an average power of 2000W, 10 times higher.
Our opinion and recommendation
This type of product is an adaptation of an ordinary product for everyday use to one for sporadic use and in conditions where electricity is scarce and limited.
It is a solution that could help many to dry their hair, for example after a swim at the beach or a walk in the rain.
We are confident that it delivers what it promises, but that it certainly does, is not comparable to conventional hair dryers, therefore if you you decide to buy one, you should know that It will take time to dry, but it will.
Recommended for use in a 20 amp car socket.
