Digital camera reviews of SIMRAN 200 WATTS DELUXE STEP DOWN VOLTAGE CONVERTER MODEL SMF-200 FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL.
Digital camera Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked great-
I used it for a trip to Greece. It worked well with my Iphone charger, camera, and even my hair straightener. Kinda chunky and big but not as big as other ones I've seen.
Definitely do not regret this purchase.
Digital camera Review: Don't take this if you'll need it for more than 2 weeks
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product for a two-month stay in Europe last summer. It worked well for about two weeks, but then, it would only work if I held the plug in the converter at a certain angle. After about 4 weeks, it started sparking whenever I plugged things into it, and that was the end of that.
To be fair though, I did abuse it somewhat. It specifically says on the box not to use it with items that heat up (such a blow dryers, irons, toasters, etc.), and I admit that I used it to plug in my straightening iron.
If you need it for heated items and plan on using it for a while, I would suggest you get something else. Actually, even if you're not heating anything up, I still suggest you get something else. My suggestion: go to Brookstone.
Digital camera Review: didn't last long. Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
seller shipped accordingly, but product did not last long and under performed. waste of money if you are traveling.Digital camera Review: Exactly what it claims to be
Summary: 5 Stars
This product worked flawlessly. It's small, well built and tough. However, it's not fused! I read several negative reviews. Nearly all of them complain it burned out trying to provide MORE POWER (over 200 watts) than it's built for. This is perfect for (most) laptops, camera and cell phone chargers. It WILL BURN OUT trying to push blow dryers, curling irons, multiple external peripherals to a laptop, etc. Volts times amps = watts. It will only support 110 volt devices that draw at TOTAL of 1.8 amps or less. Read your labels before buying!!Digital camera Review: Worked great even with a straightener!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently traveled to Berlin, Germany on a 10 day trip and used this converter for the trip. I charged my cell phone, camera, and Zune with it. I also used it with my straightener. I know that it tells you not to use it with heating products, but as long at the voltage on your straightener is equal to or less than the voltage max on the converter, you will be fine. I used this converter each day for the entire 10 day period and never had a problem!
