Product Description

Made by one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, the Goldsource ST series step up/down voltage transformers offer you a safe, reliable, affordable & convenient solution to converting voltages from 110-120 volts up to 220-240 volts or from 220-240 volts down to 110-120 volts for both home use & industrial applications. The ST-2000 is rated at 2000 watts maximum. It features a heavy-duty cord with a standard US 3-prong plug plus a free American to German outlet plug adapter. There are a total of two grounded outputs on the front panel, one is designated for 120 volts and the other is for 220 volts only. They both are standard US outlets and can be used simultaneously. For safety, it's recommended by the manufacturer that the voltage transformer's maximum power should be equal or greater than the power rating of your appliance multiplied by 1.5. For example, if you have an appliance rated at 100 watts, you will need to pick a transformer with a maximum power of 150 watts or greater.

3.0 out of 5 stars Trips my Breakers, June 24, 2010

I had a 2K transformer already plugged in where I plugged this one in, replaced the old one with this one. Every time I turned it on it tripped my breakers - the old one, different brand but same power - 2K, never tripped my breakers. Also, this one has a very noticeable hum I can hear from a long distance. I had to upgrade my circuit breaker to use this transformer. Not particularly happy with this transformer nor the extremely insufficient packaging used in shipping.

These transformers are great for the price. I live in Turkey on AFB and are only issued one of these for a 2 story house with only 2 110 plugs in the house, so we need one of these for almost every room. They are great priced and work very well. Recommend these for anyone living overseas and need to convert 220 power to 110.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has been working fine for over five months now, June 3, 2011

We got this because we moved from Europe to the US and we brought our European Nespresso coffee machine over. Our coffee machine consumes 1750 Watt of power (peak) and that's why we have to get the ST-2000 voltage transformer. We have been using this for over five months now and it is working fine. I was worried it would produce a large amount of "zooming" noise but it is almost inaudible. You can almost not hear any noise at all unless you get very close to it. I have to say we put it in the kitchen and the noise from our fridge is more dominating. All in all very content about this until now.
