I happened to be checking out hair dryers (for someone else) and came
across dryers like this:

1875 watts. There were a lot like this

https://www.amazon.com/Revlon-1875W-...-search&sr=8-9

How can one run that from an average outlet that puts out 1650 watts?
or maybe 1170 + 585 = 1755.

Does one plug it into the clothes dryer outlet to make sure her hair is
really dry?

Or are they lying?

110V * 15A = 1650W
120V * 15A = 1800W
125V * 15A = 1875W

Not lying, but deception through arithmetic. Something really common in
advertising.
