Customer Rating:      Summary: It works! Comment: It works pretty well. It is very small comparing to similar converters. Make sure your instrument is in the same Power range.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works great in China Comment: This transformer pretty much save me the trouble of using an adapter during my 3 week trip to China. I've been to Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Hong Kong, and other places I forgot and this transformer worked in all the hotels I've been to. The transformer included 2 adapters for US plugs. I didn't need those plugs for China since the transformer uses a 2 rounded prong plug which fit in all the China outlets that has the 2 rounded prong. But be aware that some outlets in China also includes a V shape which will not fit the transformer. So buy a seperate adapter if you want to use the V shape outlet but I didn't have to use the V shape outlet in China. I combined this with the Kensington All-in-One adapter and both worked fine. I originally bought two transformers and the only problem I've encountered was that one of the transformers blew a fuse. Not sure how it happened, my electronics were not damaged from it. I only used the transformer to charge my Nintendo DS and AA batteries. I recommend to bring extra fuses just in case this happens. I have not figure out what type of fuses it uses so I suggest you bring that transformer to a local electronic store and figure it out from there before making your trip outside the U.S.
Customer Rating:      Summary: don't even bother Comment: It has no adapters so unless you are using the Italian or French standard you'll need another adapter. Also, don't expect much with 50 watts... this thing melted the first time I used it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: blew out within one day, complete waste of money Comment: I bought this for a trip to Argentina and Chile. The seller was great, but the product was horrible. It blew out in Buenos Aires on the first day charging a laptop. My roommate on the trip had a Brookstone adapter which worked on all the plugs we encountered. the Brookstone adapter worked on camera chargers, laptops, phone chargers, two different flat irons (hair straightener), and ipod player with speakers. It sparked a few times, but it never blew out. I'm getting one of those for my upcoming trip to France. I wish I had just spent the money the first time instead of wasting it on this piece.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Defect Comment: This converter didn't work at all. I didn't dare to expect too much for that price in the first place, but still very disappointing...
