1500W Voltage Converter - 110v to 220v & 220v to 110v Step-Up/Down Transformer - Dual Circuit Breaker Protection - Universal Output - Converting Box Tech - CE Certified

This unit does exactly what you need with little compromise or fuss. Of course, your success depends on selecting the appropriate voltage to meet the requirements of your appliance PLUS the ability to handle the surge drawn upon startup. Two to three times the rated voltage is generally recommended. I bought this unit primarily to run the Arzum Mirra Turkish-Greek coffee pot which draws 850W. (http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Renowned-Turkish-Electric-Stainless/dp/B00GO45NDA/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1400703963&sr=1-2)For the past month, the unit has worked perfectly. It handles all the different plugs that European appliances have and even allows you to run 110 appliances at the same time (provided you do not exceed its limits, of course.)As you can see from the specifications it is fairly heavy and large, but I believe that's what you get for this level of performance. It makes no perceptible sound or smell unless you are right up against it, but it is very slight, and I don't feel it is any worse than other appliances emit. You can certainly minimize these potential annoyances by switching off the breaker on the back of the unit when it is not in use.I would not hesitate to recommend this unit.

This is a good Converter if you need to transform some power. I got this, along with a 220V surge protector, for a trip to Europe. The converter worked great with no issues. The only reason I would not give it 5 Stars is because of the noise (transformer "hum") and an odd smell when in use. I also did not really care for the size and weight of this converter, but it did get the job done, so no major complaints.

This is used to operate a vacuum, so portability is key, as this is moved throughout the house. works very nicely to power our American vacuum in Europe (Make sure your vacuum will support 50Hz).

When I purchased this product there were very less review compared to the other similar products. After researching for quite a while, i decided to give this product a try and see if can work with the roti maker that I got it from India. It does really wonderful job. Universal pins works great, easy set up and most of all doesnt make any sound. ITs been just a week I recieved the item, as we use it I will keep updating the product review on its performance.

This review is for product itself, as well as and especially for the manufacturer, not for Amazon. They were amazing in how they ultimately resolved the issue.I bought this in January 2016 for use with a 1800W Raclette table grill from Germany. First of all, the product arrive dinged and slightly bent but it turned on and did work. For about 30 minutes that is, before it shuts itself off. Great when you have 7 other guests trying to eat Raclette, a bunch of food on there and no other way to power the grill. We tried different outlets and only after about 15 minutes off, could we turn the transformer back on. It would do this the 3 other times we used it, it would work fine for about 30 minutes, then shut itself off, as if it just couldn't handle the 1800W.So finally I got fed up, pinged Amazon and the agent at first referred me to the manufacturers website to claim the warranty. On their website, when it comes to warranty claims, they say to contact the authorized seller with warranty issues! - So I send them several messages over the course of a few weeks, explaining the issue with absolutely no response. I then check their "support forum", only to find that all the posts on their are basically bots posting links to movie or sports streams or literally bots talking to each other in the most awkward way. So basically, this company doesn't have any real support for their products.Thankfully, Amazon was great and issued a refund after I reached out the second time. This transformer might work for lighter applications but the 2000W version definitely can't handle a 1800W grill and the company is shady as heck. I hope this helps anyone trying to decide whether to buy from them or having an issue getting support.

This is my forth step up/down voltage converters i have bought from Amazon. the previous one are other brand. I have to say this is an excellent product! it is silence with well made casing. No smell. What made me bought this product was its detachable power code which make it easy to use on different type of sockets without needing one adapter. i would say i'm happy with this purchase.

There are several issues with this product:1. It is NOT a transformer, it is auto transformer. That means it provides NO electrical isolation2. Auto transformer is wound with ALUMINUM wire, NOT copper. Higher loss, heat, not solderable.3. Wires inside are mismatched, different gauge wire all over the place. What's the point to rate at certain wattage if all wires cannot support it?4. UK 240V socket was misswired, neutral and hot were swapped5. 240V fuse only protects if you are feeding the unit from 240V, does not provide protection for up converted 240V when running on 110V6. Many screws holding the case were stripped and not holding anything.Overall I made it work, even rewired using 4P2T switch to be auto transformer or isolation transformer, but not worth 100 bucks I spent on it. Quality is not what I expected.

Quiet, reliable, does not get hot. I use it every day - and it does just what I need it to do
