Buying a hair dryer in japan will it work here in europe? -

hi i am buying a hair dryer from japan its 1200W/600W which says (AC100V 50/60Hz) so just wondering will i need a voltage convertor to use it in ireland or just a simple adapter will do the job .

Since the hair dryer is a 100 VAC device and Europe has 230 VAC power you will need a voltage converter to reduce the voltage or you will burn out the dryer.
