Great solution and value; 200 watts power for small electronic and appliance items

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Preliminary notes… WATCH THE FOVAL VIDEO. IT’S A GREAT SUMMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION:
The unit is rated at 200 watts. (DISREGARD MY COMMENT IN MY VIDEO RE: 250 WATT CAPACITY) Most questions you’ll have will be about figuring out what devices you can power from this converter so that you don’t exceed the total of 200 watt output capacity. Even if you exceed the unit’s power-output-rating, the unit has internal protectors which will prevent damage to the unit. Most important recommendation to anyone who isn’t "tech saavy" and has questions about what devices can be used with this adapter; talk to someone who is. Most "electro-mechanical" devices like shavers and small table top fans consume under 75 watts. And most electronic devices have labels with power consumption on the power supplies or on the item itself. Most laptop and cellular phone power supplies are rated to operate from 110vac to 220vac. So you wouldn’t need this converter. But, for instance, if you have your phone but no charger-power supply available, you’ll be able to get power from the unit’s four USB outlets. Just one of many great features of this device.

About the multiple cooling fans inside the converter……
While I try never to dismiss someone’s complaints… (all things in life are relative, right?)… Unless I heard wrong, based on the manufacturer’s/distributor’s video, there are multiple mini-fans within the converter. This is understandable given that this is a power-converter/power supply. I bring this up as there have been comments/complaints relating to the noise level of the converter. The unit I have does generate a very low-level fan noise, which I’d say is typical for a laptop computer cooling fan. I never felt it was at a bothersome level; only noticable when I focused on it. And frankly, it’s one way of knowing you’ve left the unit in the "power-on" state. (there’s an on-off button and a colorized usage light too). My thoughts are that whomever does have an issue with the low-level fan noise, may have an "out of specifications" unit, or they’re applying unreasonable expectations for near-absolute silence. We’re using this in our bedroom. And my wife is extremely sensitive to noise. She’s never made mention of the cooling fan. And I left Vietnam with ringing in my ears that’s been a constant companion for my entire adult life. So a little mini-cooling fan noise is the last item on my "priority list." Enough said.

We’ve been in Brazil for the past three weeks of a one month trip, and have used the converter, primarily, to power a small table top fan, and to charge our phones and Ipad devices. It’s been a perfect, compact, and easy-to-tote solution. For years, both we, US residents, and our family in Brazil, have resorted to "transformers", (rather heavy), when needing to "drop voltage (220vac to 110vac)" for the many US based appliances and devices we’ve brought, or were being used here. This is one of the items I’ve purchased on Amazon where I only have "POSITIVE COMMENTS." It’s doing exactly what is needed. I’d certainly recommend this device to others.

Good device but be sure the output is sufficient for your application

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am updating my review as on reflection I was unfairly critical of the product. The product works. Although I did not directly verify this, I am confident that it performs to specification, unfortunately the output is simply lower than what I was looking for. If the 2A output on the AC plugs will meet your needs, I would in fact recommend this product.

It is worth noting that the seller contacted me about my original two-star review and even offered me a refund despite being well past any return date (not to mention that I left the product in my hotel room). I declined the refund as I thought it would be unfair, but nonetheless am updating my comments (and rating) here to rate the actual product they were selling – rather than the product I had imagined/hoped they were selling.

Based on my experience of the product (which was indeed quite well-designed and well-made) as well as the positive interaction with the seller, I would certainly buy something else from them.

Original review:

I should have read the specs. This unit actually can deliver greater amperage via USB than via the AC outlets. I thought when the listing referenced using this for hair dryers, it would be fine. Left it in the garbage in my hotel after first use.

I am curious if the person who wrote this listing could point to a hair dryer which only uses two amps. (This was not my application in any case, since I don’t use them and pretty much every hotel has them). I had hoped to use it with a clothes steamer, which I prefer over the also ever-present iron.

Very disappointed, as the form factor was great and you can use your own cord with an IEC-320-C5 plug (and whatever end you need for your destination’s plug configuration on the other end), which is preferrable to their provided adapters.

The search continues.

Worked very well

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024

Verified Purchase

Purchased this several years ago and was finally able to use it on an overseas trip. Very pleased with how well it worked. I like the short cord that plugs into the European plug adapters and the on/off switch. My one complaint are the two outlets on top of the unit. Bulky US plugs, such as is on my Kindle, don’t allow both outlets to be used at the same time. I have found this a common problem with any adapter. Overall, I highly recommend the unit.

Dead after 2 use.

I really should have read the reviews because there was quite a lot of people complaining about the poor quality of the product.
Now I’m in Marocco on day 3 of my trip without a way to power my phones/camera and will be out on this side of Africa for the next month. I’ll still be able to return it to Amazon when I come back but that’s not the point, is it?
What a waste because it was such a nice design and gave me flexibility for the 2 whole days I got to use it. The green light turned red after 2 days and the top plugs stopped working. Only the side USB work and that’s useless because I only have USBc plugs. And for the price these cost, it’s unexcusable. That’s why I don’t like the average star system and how the site posts the most relevant reviews but really makes it look like the product is great overall when it’s really more chance of landing a lemon than a good product. For us travelers, we get stuck and some can’t even return it anymore when being outside. This isn’t an isolated incident.
Stay away from this or buy at your own peril.
