 Never Worked August 31, 2010
Peter Mccann (Houston, TX)
Bought this with plenty of time to spare for the wife's trip to France. Once she got there, it never worked. Even had a tech savvy husband in her travel group check it out, just to be sure. By the time she got it home (it's fairly bulky and heavy), it was too late to get a full refund on it, so I had to eat shipping both ways, as well as a 20% "restocking" fee. There's no way I know of to test this without special equipment, until you get it overseas. Kinda sucks to get charged for something that was defective out of the box, especially when it'd been lugged half way around the globe and back and completely failed. You'd think they might test before it leaves the factory.

The Converter is very heavy it weight 2 lbs. large and bulky. So it is not easy to pack or carry.SIMRAN 200 WATTS DELUXE STEP DOWN VOLTAGE CONVERTER MODEL SMF-200 FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL.
I prefer something smaller and compact.
 Burned out with a flat iron August 24, 2010
Jackytar (Baton Rouge)
There has been some discussion here about using this converter to power a flat iron. My wife has a relatively expensive Paul Mitchell model. The label is clearly marked 40 Watts (and 110V only). We took it and this converter on a trip to the Netherlands and Belgium. It worked for two or three uses then, on the next day with the flat iron, it worked for a while then quit. We let it cool down overnight and tried it in the morning but it was kaput. Would not work at all for any device. My wife really wanted her flat iron so on the outside chance that this particular converter was a lemon we purchased another converter that was rated 75 watts (the only one I could find in Brugges) and it burned out on the first try.
Turns out, the other items we brought with us were dual voltage. The battery charger that came with the digital camera, our phones, the iPad, even my wife's curling iron (yes, guys, she had a flat iron and a curling iron and I didn't dare ask why). I was surprised about the dual voltage but, I suppose, they are internationally sold products so maybe it makes sense. Anyhow, definitely check to see if you even need this. Knowing what we know now, we would have sprung for a dual voltage flat iron before leaving and not have bothered packing this brick of an item. A more expensive option but her current flat iron will wear out eventually and we would get the value out of the second one then.
 The best step down converter August 17, 2010

If your going abroad this thing is great. Not too heavy fits in your pack and gives you a little extra peace of mind that your not gonna burn out your electronic goodies....
