#1 failure reason
82% of the 66 pairings in this category pass our True Surge protocol (SAFE or TIGHT).
What matters in this category
- Professional hair dryers draw 1,500-1,875W continuously. Only the largest portable stations can sustain this load.
- Electric blankets are the opposite extreme: 50-200W with no surge, compatible with almost any station.
How to choose for Personal Care
Personal care spans the full compatibility range. Electric blankets are among the easiest devices to power, running all night on a 500Wh station. Professional hair dryers are among the hardest: 1,875W continuous with no surge, but the sustained high draw limits runtime to 30-45 minutes on most stations. If you need a hair dryer during an outage, look for stations with 2,000W+ continuous output and accept short runtime.
Common mistake
Expecting to run a 1,875W hair dryer for an extended session. Even a 2,000Wh station provides only about 45 minutes at full power after real-world losses.
