Digital camera reviews of 50-WATT International Converter
Digital camera Review: Jensen European 50-Watt Travel Converter
Summary: 4 Stars
I found that this converter was very affordable and suited my needs. One drawback to the converter is that sometimes I need to use an additional adapter with the converter because the entry port for the electrical outlet is very recessed releative to the wall and the converter body blocks the full entry into the outlet(despite the fact that the electric prongs were correct for the country). This is an unusual design feature for electrical outlets in certain countries/hotels, compared to US electrical outlets that are flush with the walls. So, I still need an additional electrical adapter to use this converter in certain situations.Digital camera Review: Misleading description - watch out!
Summary: 3 Stars
Contrary to the description, which merely says, "international" and "foreign voltage" this item, out of the box, is ONLY for European outlets that require the 2 small round prong plugs. Any other outlets (such as those in the UK) will require plug adapters.
Beware! This is not not a universal transformer, at least not without additional purchases - to adapt from the 2-prong European to whatever outlets are in other countries.
I have not tested this; I will be returning it today.
Digital camera Review: Terrible Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I brought this converter to London with me. First off, it is way too heavy so it sags from the outlet and frequently falls out. In addition the prongs become bent because of the weight. I used this only a few times before it stopped working, not a clue why. When I buy another one I will be purchasing a different brand.Digital camera Review: They DIED!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 3 of these to take to Italy and use for printer, cellphone chargers, and PCs. I had read up on transformers and what devices they should be used for. (suggested for PC, small electronic chargers like cellphones, printers, etc.) I was reassured by the manufacturer info that neither the PC nor the MAC really needed the converter, but I decided to be extra cautious. I bought an Italian surge protector (5 openings) and plugged all three of them in. The ones with my printer and MAC were in use most of the time, the third, not much at all. After 5 weeks, the one my MAC was using died. So I plugged the MAC into another. Then IT died too within 24 hours. Now I only have one left--and 10 more months in Italy. Disappointing!Digital camera Review: This was too heavy and didn't work well
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this to charge up my daughter's iPod during our trip to the UK. It almost burned out the iPod. It is also very heavy and bulky and you probably will have to use an adapter too which makes it even more cumbersome. Not a recommended buy as far as I am concerned.
