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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spend more, it is worth it, December 29, 2008

By	Zachary G. Brown "madmartigan_psu" (Maun, Botswana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The euro style plug on this box is not grounded, therefore, when it is operating, it is a fire hazard and unsafe and will shock you if you touch it. I also cannot figure out how to get it to operate at the voltages advertised besides going from 110 to 220 or 220 to 110. Says on the box it will do 120V, but I don't think it actually does. This is an issue for picky US appliances that expect exactly 120V. I wish I had just spent a little more and got a quality transformer that I didn't have to worry about burning down my house.
