Digital camera reviews of 50-WATT International Converter
Digital camera Review: bad converter
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a bad converter. It never worked and left us in a bad position since this was a trip of a lifetime and we couldn't find another converter in any store.Digital camera Review: did not work from day 1
Summary: 1 Stars
The first time I plugged this particular converter into the socket for use - the light illuminated for a few minutes and never again after that. It is totally non functional...Digital camera Review: doesn't do the job
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one for a trip to europe. It claims to be rated for up to 50W but it overheated and died while charging a netbook rated at a 40W draw.
It did successfully charge a digital camera and an Iphone with no overheating problems.
Digital camera Review: great little transformer
Summary: 5 Stars
I had continuously used one of these Jensen 50W transformers for months before buying a few more to power various US-purchased appliances in Europe. These converters are lightweight and plug in nicely to the European sockets. These converters are only 50W, so users should carefully check the power requirments of their appliances. I'd highly recommend this converter for overseas use with small appliances. It's relatively small and lightweight making it a good choice for travel. However, it may not be a good option for someone who wants to use it with a hair dryer. For this you should opt for a dual wattage converter (i.e. one with 1600W). A good alternative is the Recoton which is also available on Amazon.Digital camera Review: not needed
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as I know, this works fine. Didn't have to use it. We took a trip to Spain and were told we needed a converter. Later, we found out all we needed was an adapter kit since most electronics automatically convert from 220 to 110 now. We took both. Did not need the converter but it is probably a good investment for any item too old to automatically convert.
