    Use your USA tools without problems.

    Now able to use electrical products purchased in the USA using the 110v output as required. Perfect.

  • Most critical review

    Item runs too HOT.

    Converter runs too HOT. I had it turned on in a 230v power socket, WITHOUT any appliance plugged into the 110v outlet and the converter became too hot to hold in the hand comfortably. I found gets even hotter if you plug even very light current devices into it to use. Make sure it NEVER gets covered by material (ie curtains, drapes, furniture) when switched on, as I think it could be a FIRE hazard.

  • Not suitable for 3 pin USA plug

    I bought this particular model because the USA plug on my appliance (portable speaker) has an earth pin & from the illustration shown on ebay, this model appears to have a hole for the earth pin to sit in. The item supplied does NOT have a hole for the earth pin to sit in, therefore to be able to use a three pin USA plug with this, you have to either remove the earth pin from your USA plug, or (as I did) remove the transformer casing & drill a hole in it where the earth pin would sit. It now works fine and the portable speaker is fully up and running - just be aware if your USA plug has three pins, this won't work without some modification.

  • It's 45watt, check what you want to power before you complain it's getting too hot.

    This is 45w people, VA does not mean 45amp, this is why it's getting too hot, you're probably trying to power something that is like 600watt off the thing.

  • Possibly not everyones choice.

    Exactly what I wanted and does the job. A little noisy - but not a real problem. If your looking for absolute quietness, then this particular item is not for you.

  • voltage converter

    I got it to run a U.S. Yogurt maker as I couldn't get one in the U.K. It seems to do the job just fine. I have used it 3 times now and it has worked properly every time. Does the job and a fair price. You are supposed to use a converter 11/2 times more power than you need and as the yogurt maker takes 20 W this 45W one is perfect. Thanks.

  • Top Quality.

    This item is needed if you wish to use any piece of electrical equipment from the USA in Europe for the simple reason Europe works on 230v and USA 120v, plugging in any thing straight into the electric socket will damage the item and possibly start a fire. It gets warm and sometimes buzzes this is normal. My American vtech cordless telephone works perfectly using this. Highly recommend.

  • USA step down voltage plug

    I bought this product as I had just ordered some hair clippers from the states. The plug is simple and easy to use, works a treat and I can easily keep my hair cut short

  • Unfortunately become very hot in plug after few hours, if left they stopped functioning, possibly burned.

    I bought too of them and they became very hot when left plugged in and left for few hours, even if the device I have them was off. That's something that happens with other step converters too, I don't know why. But these ones, after few hours they stopped functioning if left in the plug.
