User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Worked like a charm for me
I used the converter on my recent 10-day trip to Germany. Specifically, it was used to run my laptop and charge the battery to my digital camera. It worked perfectly the entire time. Having the US standard plug away from the wall socket is a particularly helpful feature. It is a convenient size for travel and fit neatly in my suitcase. In my experience with heavy duty converters from my Army tour in Germany,which were seriously heavy, the weight of this unit is not excessive.
The unit does run hot,and I would stand it up to expose more surface area. As other reviewers have pointed out, if the unit is fused, the fuse is not accessible without opening up the unit (I have not checked).
5 Stars Great.
Just got back from the great outback and New Zealand around the first of July. Never had trouble with this product. I used it for charging my phone and that’s really all I think I used it for. Anyway, it worked great.
5 Stars Exactly what it claims to be
This product worked flawlessly. It’s small, well built and tough. However, it’s not fused! I read several negative reviews. Nearly all of them complain it burned out trying to provide MORE POWER (over 200 watts) than it’s built for. This is perfect for (most) laptops, camera and cell phone chargers. It WILL BURN OUT trying to push blow dryers, curling irons, multiple external peripherals to a laptop, etc. Volts times amps = watts. It will only support 110 volt devices that draw at TOTAL of 1.8 amps or less. Read your labels before buying!!
5 Stars Worked great even with a straightener!
I recently traveled to Berlin, Germany on a 10 day trip and used this converter for the trip. I charged my cell phone, camera, and Zune with it. I also used it with my straightener. I know that it tells you not to use it with heating products, but as long at the voltage on your straightener is equal to or less than the voltage max on the converter, you will be fine. I used this converter each day for the entire 10 day period and never had a problem!
1 Star didn’t last long. Waste of money
seller shipped accordingly, but product did not last long and under performed. waste of money if you are traveling.
