I tried my hair dryer I bought in the U.S. in Europe, but it wasn't a good idea ;)
The other way it will be only slow, and dries the hair after ages...

I think, power adapters work with both voltage, and mobile devices will be charged only slower with 110V.

Best,
Samat

Which 220V devices do you know that will be damaged by connecting via a laptop power cable to 110V?
I don't know of any.

I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, because the US/Canada use a 110V-system while Europe uses 230V.
While many notebooks can stomach both, lots of other devices can not. So it could be fatal to just switch the powercord of a device.

Sincerely,
DaB.
