- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2024It's perfect for home use. Had no issues. Well built, robust construction.
Great VFM.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2016Thanks to everyone else's comments and reviews I think I bought the right equipment for a fair price
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2011This is great. Been using for over 4 weeks. Have a load of about 200W on this and no problems. Also using with a surge protector. Have used a couple of different brands and sizes before and had a problem when connected to a surge protector. Be very careful when selecting the power. ie if you have a load of 200 W then go for 300w. If you have a load of 300 W then you probably need to go for the 500 w (or VA) version. A little large but really well built. I have tried smaller units but they seem to get very hot and burn out quickly. Not surprising really. Arrived quickly. I'm very happy with this unit.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2013I bought this adapter on recommendation from a friend after I imported the Brother SE400 from the USA. Yes it's bulky, but I wanted something that wasn't going to burn out on me. Some of the other adapters on the market looked very flimsy and I just didn't trust them. This adapter is sturdy and very heavy but does the job brilliantly! It doesn't overheat and my sewing machine gets a LOT of use!
I ordered from Amazon at 2pm and it was with me at 8am the next day. I would recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2018It was of very poor quality. It worked for less than 6 months. When I requested for a repair or replacement service they offered to take a look at it if I couriered them this heavy transformer. It was an unreasonable and expensive option to offer the customer. Very disappointed and a waste of money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2013IT DOES THE JOB, ALRIGHT!
NO PROBLEMS!
ONLY, WITH IT BEING SUCH A LARGE HEAVY ITEM, YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO CONTAIN MORE THAN JUST THE ONE PLUS SOCKET!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2011I've been using it for 1.5 years now with no problems. It gets a bit warm just running and I wonder how much electricity it uses on a regular basis but it handles a good range of power as we have a power bar connected to it with many different electronic appliances plugged in on a regular basis.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2014This is an excellent transformer, not suitable for taking on your travels as it is weighty. I have bought some items from the States and it powers them without any difficulty. the bonus of having an on and off switch and fuse on the front is brilliant.
I haven't powered anything greater than 150 watts but it handles that quite easily.
Not a problem for my applications but it does not convert the frequency, just the voltage.
Highly recommended. If I buy more stuff from the staes I will certainly get another one.
