- GREAT TRAVEL CONVERTER
- Do Not Use with Hair Dryers, Hair Straightners, Tools and other Household Appliances.
I used it as a supplement for my laptop, which draws at 130 watts. (The latop battery can handle up to 220-240V power, and only requires a plug adaptor, but I wanted to use the converter as a supplement/buffer for the battery, and it came in handy as a kind of short extension cord.) This converter is designed to support up to 200 watts, and I only needed 130 -but it quit on me 4 days into a 4 month trip. It ran hot, but did not smell burned -it simply stopped working after about 12 cumulative hours of use. Truly a waste of money. I recommend trying a different brand.I just worked for 2 hours for me. I bought to use it with my speaker system which is 80 watt so I though I wouldnt have problem with a 200 watt converter, It was working at first but the next day I realize that it is burned. I guess I should have unpluged it for the time that I am not using the speaker.Used this on a recent trip to Germany. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do any voltage conversion; my shaver was still running at monumental speeds. Basically just a big adapter.Long cord helped as it was heavy. Worked with any appliances when others didn't. Never used for more than hairdryer, ipod, camera charger or curling iron. Died on 10th day...no light no charge in an outlet that worked for others. Will take it apart to see if there's a fuse. Had it not stopped working, I would have given it the best of ratings!
