5.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable price and does the trick!! I am ordering two more., April 4, 2007
By V. Boctor (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've recently moved from Australia to the U.S. with several devices that are 220V. I first bought a smaller device from eBay to use for my desktop computer (which doesn't have 110-220V for some reason), but it didn't work. I've bought this device and it worked very well. I've had it for over a month now and I tested it with my desktop PC, TV, DVD player, video player and my wife's GHD (hair stuff - a heating device). It works very well, given the number of devices I have I will order two more.

The good thing is that if I move back to Australia, I can re-use the same device to get the 110V devices I bought from here to work in Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, functional, durable, January 28, 2007
By David Reimer "DReimer" (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered this transformer when we moved back to the States from a couple years in Hong Kong and Australia, so I could used some of the electronic equipment I'd purchased there. A year later, this little transformer-that-could is still plugging merrily away in support of a 5-slot 220V power strip and the several gadgets we have plugged into it. It doesn't overheat and has yet to blow its internal fuse. Highly recommended.
