Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Another great product from Tacima - great your American device working in UK sockets! If you try to overload the transformer, an internal safety cutout device will the unit off. It will eventually reset itself after disconnection from the mains.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, 24 Jan 2007
By Paul (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
Product is simple and easy to use - just plug it into the wall and plug your US adapter or plug into the back. There are no switches, sliders or knobs to fiddle with.

However, it's a little bulky and heavy for its size - perhaps a little larger than the US adapter you might be plugging into it. But it has a strong grip, so the combined adapters don't fall out of the wall.

The weight means P+P is expensive.


Update Jan 2009: We found that this doesn't work well with a USA clock, since it doesn't convert the UK's 50Hz mains frequency to the USA's 60Hz frequency - so the clock loses 10mins every hour!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if kept within limits..., 9 May 2008
By Stuart L. Mason (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I moved back to the UK from the US and purchased a few of these units.
I've blown up several of my units, as the wattage is not the only consideration - you have to consider the power of the item you are plugging in.
If there was a replaceable fuse, then it would be great.
However, there isn't, and the unit has special uni-directional screws so you can't get into it to even try to fix it.
I've still not worked out the power calculation - there's a fair bit on the internet about it, but err on the side of caution.
Anything general electrical is fine, but if there's a motor involved of any sort, then you need to consider the power required.
It's not just the wattage and average current.
A great unit though, for the price.
At least the unit dissolves before the attached electrical device does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Right, 22 April 2008
I bought this product so I could use a lamp I bought in Japan (100v) in the UK. Although the general product description states it's for transforming 240v to 120v it specifies on the box that it actually transforms 220-240v to 100-120v and you do often need the 100v for Japanese products.

Can't really fault the convertor - just plug it in, plug your appliance into it an that's it. Read a few reviews which stated it was quite big, but I thought it was pretty reasonable.
