4.0 out of 5 stars Works OK if you use it for the correct applications, December 28, 2009

Works OK if you use it for the correct applications like toasters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc... It seams to be most appropriate for items that use a lot of watts powering heating elements. It probably should not be used for sensitive electronics or items that remain on for long periods of time.

We have seen inconsistent results in some cases, but nothing one would not expect. When used with our toaster, the toast is almost too dark when set to the lowest setting. On the other hand, we have to leave waffles in the waffle iron a minute or so after the timing light goes off or they will be undercooked. Both appliances worked normally one 110v.

We have been using 2 of these units daily for the last year with our US appliances on 220v power. Considering their cost and that they work as well today as they did on day one, I would buy them again.

Used this converter in St. Maarten, along with an adapter to extend. (The sockets in SXM are very deep in the walls.) Everything worked great.

We spent a week in Ireland after purchasing two of these converters. They were used in two different hotel rooms in four different cities throughout Ireland. Never a problem with either curling irons or hair dryers.
