Transformer Purchase Guide:
Remember to leave at least a 60%-70% slack for the transformer. For the TVs, the power surge margin is 5 times the wattage of the TV. Heating appliances, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these products you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.
CANNOT BE USED WITH HEATING APPLIANCES SUCH AS COOKERS, KETTLES OR HAIR STRAIGHTNERS, HAIR DRYERS, CURLING IRONS, TV OR POWER TOOLS.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Works in Sweden
Bought this before moving to Sweden for a long term assignment. Have had no problems. I’ve used it for my laptop (before deciding to use a simple plug converter), for recharging batteries and for recharging my Oral-B toothbrush. The long cord attached is really useful!
5 Stars Works great - long cord!
Bought three for our long stay in Italy. Works great - the long cord makes it very convenient. We use it for our computers, i-pods, etc. I would recommend this product to anyone who is planning to travel and stay for awhile. The only drawback is that it is heavy (maybe a pound?) so if you’re on the go, it might not be the best thing. But we are staying here for three months, so it is worth it to have and not cart all over the place….
5 Stars Worked great in China
Took this on a 2-week trip to China and used it to recharge my iPod and camera batteries. Worked flawlessly. Nice that it has a long plug so it’s not hanging on the outlet. Kind of heavy (feels like half a brick) but otherwise perfect.
4 Stars Perfectly adequate
I agree with the other reviewer about the pigtail plug rather than one attached to the adaptor - also makes it easier to plug on to power strip. Using it to power my VoIP adaptor and it works fine - not sure how it would go at the full 200W though - it is warm running the 25W adaptor - suspect it wouldn’t handle a continuous 200W… Great deal for the price 
4 Stars beware of popping the fuse
I used this in Korea, and it worked well for all my cameras, laptops and tech products. I noted a previous review about hair curling irons, and I tried it, and it worked well. Here is something to note about hair dryers, however. It was working well in cold mode, and I increased it, and then popped a fuse. Just make sure the voltage is less than 200 Watts, and it will work fine. Otherwise, the fuse will pop, and the product is useless, as well as your other products that you need charged. So, I had to buy one locally anyway.
