Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 50-WATT International Converter
Customer Review: Misleading description - watch out!
Summary: 3 Stars
Contrary to the description, which merely says, "international" and "foreign voltage" this item, out of the box, is ONLY for European outlets that require the 2 small round prong plugs. Any other outlets (such as those in the UK) will require plug adapters.
Beware! This is not not a universal transformer, at least not without additional purchases - to adapt from the 2-prong European to whatever outlets are in other countries.
I have not tested this; I will be returning it today.
Customer Review: Didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so disappointed. I bought this adapter for a big trip and the first time I used the adapter it flashed power on and off and then proceeded to break. By the time I got back from my trip, the "return" window was closed. I can't seem to find a way to contact Amazon to ask about this.... so I am leaving this review. I had to buy another adapter while traveling... which worked just fine. ):Customer 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.Customer Review: Wow. Unplugged it when it started smoking
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product for travel in South East Asia. Besides all of the negatives that previous people had mentioned, I'd also like to add that it almost caught fire after 6 days of intermittent use. I smelled smoke and looked down and this poorly engineered fire hazard was melting. And all I had was a computer plugged in.Customer Review: Terrible Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I brought this converter to London with me. First off, it is way too heavy so it sags from the outlet and frequently falls out. In addition the prongs become bent because of the weight. I used this only a few times before it stopped working, not a clue why. When I buy another one I will be purchasing a different brand.
