Conair You Dry AC Motor Blow Dryer - PurpleHealth and Beauty Reviews
Featured Review
“This will run on AC or DC current!! Which is important to me because when we go camping in the RV, I won't have to turn on the generator to dry my hair. I had been shopping for a DC hairdryer for about a year, and didn't want to pay the exorbitant price that I had been finding in the local RV supply stores and online.
Besides, look at the gorgeous color! For 20 bucks, I was sold! I can't, as of yet testify to it's performance, but surely will update the review once I get it.”

@amyuhrich I can't tell you exactly the difference of AC vs DC, I'm pretty blonde.

Good story :D That's fine, but I just meant I don't know what AC or DC actually mean. What's the benefit of a hair dryer with either type of current?
saunieindiego
Electricity flows in two ways, either in alternating current (AC) or in direct current (DC). The word electricity comes from the fact that current is nothing more than electrons moving along a conductor, like a wire, that have been harnessed for energy. The difference between AC and DC has to do with the direction in which the electrons flow.
saunieindiego
In DC, the electrons flow steadily in a single direction, or "forward." In AC, electrons keep switching directions, sometimes going "forwards" and then going "backwards." The power that comes from wall outlets is AC.

Ah, okay. So DC in a hair dryer is good because the direct current...um...? I feel like I should understand this, but I'm a little dim with this stuff.

I think in the RV the amount of power held in the batteries and available for use through the "inverter" is NOT enough to power the watts required for this hairdryer. I'm not a scientist, or a genius, let's remember...I'm blonde...all the way to the roots!
