Digital camera Review: Be Careful
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product to charge a cell phone and operate a hair flat iron in India. The cell phone did not need the converter because like most cell phones now it is dual voltage. I read the instructions two days before leaving and discovered that the converter cannot be used on curling irons over 25 watts. I called the manufacturer and was told it could also not be used on flat irons over 25 watts. Mine was 75 watts. I doubt there are any under 25 watts. I also was told that it should not be used on any device with electronic circuitry, which includes PDAs, and a number of other things. The result of using it on a device for which it should not be used is that you will fry the device. It is not just that it won't operate. I ended up not taking it and bought a flat iron in India, which I left behind as it would be useless here. But had I known fully the limitations of this product I would have bought a dual volt flat iron in the United States before leaving. I am grateful for some of the negative comments in this list because they made me read the instructions carefully and then call the company for more details.Digital camera Review: Do not buy unless you want to ruin your things

We purchased this item for our move to England, and as soon as we got there, I tried the power converter with the vacuum. After a few minutes of use, the vacuum began smoking and will no longer work. A few months later, my son tried to use his xbox with the power converter, set it to the high setting (which is the right one for the 250 watt xbox) and as soon as he plugged it in, the fuse in the xbox blew. We had to buy a new vacuum, and we do not know what we are going to do with the Xbox.Digital camera Review: Fantastic converter!

I used this in EU to charge batteries for my camera and my Ipod (which I am very protective of). It worked great, I didn't have the problem of it falling out of the wall like I did with the last converter I owned. Very happy with this purchase.Digital camera Review: Good deal

I took this item to Ireland in September. It worked very well, and comes in a nice zipped pouch. What I like about it is that it comes with both a converter and the various adaptors. Many people do not realize you need both. Adaptors alone won't work. Of course, this item as well as any other brand will not work for curling irons or flat irons. If you need to use those it is best to just buy one in the country you are visiting.Digital camera Review: Good product...
Summary: 4 Stars
Traveled to Ireland and England and used both adapter and converters for different products: hairdryers, flat irons, cell phone charger, and video camera charger. This product worked with everything without problem. The carrying case is nice and keeps everything together. I am glad I made the investment as I plan to do more traveling outside the US and it is nice to have everything in one place.
