 Very Handy September 19, 2008
Ben the Cat (West Yorks, UK)
Been using it to charge up some electronic items I brought back from the US and it does the job fine (certainly costs a lot less than if I'd bought them over here, but that's another thing). Agree with the comments that it weighs a ton, but it's not really a problem - though can't comment on the power issues some have had as I've only been using low current devices.
 Crap... July 12, 2008

I ordered this a while ago after getting a Japanese product which runs at nearly the same voltage (and within the range it says it is capable of).
It worked for around 5 minuites and then died.
I would not reccomend buying it!

I moved back to the UK from the US and purchased a few of these units.
I've blown up several of my units, as the wattage is not the only consideration - you have to consider the power of the item you are plugging in.
If there was a replaceable fuse, then it would be great.
However, there isn't, and the unit has special uni-directional screws so you can't get into it to even try to fix it.
I've still not worked out the power calculation - there's a fair bit on the internet about it, but err on the side of caution.
Anything general electrical is fine, but if there's a motor involved of any sort, then you need to consider the power required.
It's not just the wattage and average current.
A great unit though, for the price.
At least the unit dissolves before the attached electrical device does.

I bought this product so I could use a lamp I bought in Japan (100v) in the UK. Although the general product description states it's for transforming 240v to 120v it specifies on the box that it actually transforms 220-240v to 100-120v and you do often need the 100v for Japanese products.
Can't really fault the convertor - just plug it in, plug your appliance into it an that's it. Read a few reviews which stated it was quite big, but I thought it was pretty reasonable.
Burned out on a 35W device April 15, 2008

My wife used this voltage converter with her 35W hair straighteners. The converter worked fine for 10 minutes and then burned out. I suspect this device is flaky if you go near the 45W limit for a sustained period of time.
