Low-watt hair dryer options for a 1000W inverter

[WinnieT]

Hi Folks,
Any suggestions on hair dryer models that can be used with a limited 1000W inverter? Maybe someone can suggest a good low watt model or a rechargeable/battery powered model that might work for my wife. I know I can use the generator but sometimes generators are not allowed before 8 or 9 AM and we might have an early departure. Thanks.

I use a folding travel dryer, those are usually low wattage, I think mine is 800 watts.

Here's a link to a number of 800w hair dryers on Amazon:

Have you thought about upgrading to a larger inverter? A 2000watt inverter is not all that expensive, though you'd have to be concerned about wiring gauge between the inverter and the battery.

I’m not sure the brand, TT is up at storage, one of the major brands. I think the advantage of the travel irons is thicker heater element wires, which helps in our bumpy bouncy life style

Thank you Bill

I would also look for a UL or ETL listing on the device. RV is no place to have a cheapo hair dryer short out!
