5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for home use, heavy for travel, August 3, 2009

By	faizdude - See all my reviews

I bought this to be used with Nintendo Wii (about 40 watts) and charge my Linksys CIT300 Skype phone (15 watts). Been using it for a year, almost continuously. So far no problem. Pretty heavy for travel, but still okay. It's a transformer, how light can it be anyways? I have another combo step up/down transformer for home use (550W) and I gotta say not much difference in weight. My advice is to avoid using appliances that require a transformer when you travel. Get those "universal" chargers when available (which covers 110v to 240v, 50 - 60Hz). These are becoming standard in Asia but somehow not so in the US.

4.0 out of 5 stars Travel Step Down Transformer, August 1, 2008

The stepdown transformer does what it says it does. I took mine to Singapore for two items I own that don't have 220 volt capable chargers: a garmin gps, and a sonicare toothbrush. I also use it for a 110volt beard trimmer. All are low power draw so the capacity was plenty. I have used it for about two months at this point with no issue. I pack it in my checked luggage. It is a transformer so it it has a bit of weight to it. I gave it four stars because I like it. To love it I would want some way to cover the prongs (or fold them down) during travel so they don't stab my other luggage items - a minor issue to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Continuous? , July 25, 2008

By	R. Sober (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this so that I could plug a small fan into it. Whenever I did so, it started to smoke and fried. I am almost positive that the fan was within the guidelines for wattage, so I don't think that was the case. I wonder if it really should not be used with continuous draw appliances, although it says it handles them.
