UMI 2000W Step Down Voltage 220v to 110v Converter, Heavy Duty Power Converter, Power Transformer with Auto Mode for Large Capacity Equipment, Step Down 220v to 110v - US to Europe Voltage Converter

We took it to Europe ( from Canada), we used it to run a 1500w steam iron and it worked flawlessly without any problems. Please mind the weight, it's almost 15 lb. I always took it out at security and one time it was held by security because it was too heavy but was released after they saw the specifications and realized what it does. Excellent Equipment until now.

Choices for step down converters are very limited! You can get this nice, stylish looking one for more money, or you can get a black ugly one for less money and more features too. I chose elegance, because it's for kitchen! Was moving to Europe and didn't want to leave behind many of our great small kitchen appliances. I didn't know how this thing would work and couldn't test it due to European plug, until I moved to Europe, so I took a leap of faith and purchased it! There are step up and down converters in one on here, however I wanted something that would look stylish, do the job and I need only step down not other way around so I purchased this! As soon as we came to our apartment in Europe, we wanted some tea so I plugged in our tea kettle/pot and turned it on. Viola! Watched electricity to rise up to 240V and usage by our tea pot to 850W. This was purchased for kitchen use for items like KitchenAid 6qt pro mixer, handheld mixer, Ninja Elite blender, InstantPot 8qt, 4L hot water tea pot and so on. It sits on the countertop in the corner by the window and looks like some small appliance. I haven't maxed it out on it's wattage yet, however used it with 1800W hair dryer and it was drawing around that much. I've read that you can use splitter for more outlets, but make sure it doesn't have surge protector in the splitter, as this thing has surge protection in it and when you plug in another surge protector they don't work well and will pop your breaker (tested!). Unfortunately don't have splitter without surge protector readily available so cannot test if it will work well or not. Will aquire 1 shortly and update my review then. Upon reading the description again, I decided to test the 100V outlet and run 2 appliances at once, and I'm happy I did! 2 appliances running at the same time from 2 outlets! If you need electricity down converter, this thing works beautifully! It's also stylish and modern. Warning! It's heavy!!! Don't be fooled by the looks of it, it's very heavy, yet compact and stylish.

Excellent product so far. I saw people saying not working because the display was showing zero on the right side. But this is the wattage and will change depending on the equipment you are using. I tried with a Yamaha receiver and it worked perfectly.

I bought this for a trip to England and it worked fabulously! It is quiet, the unit stays cool, it's attractive, if that's important to you. There's only one downside - it is HEAVY! There was no way I could carry it around in a backpack. A male traveling companion offered to help me with my carry-on and even he commented on how heavy was. Also, it scares the TSA folks. I learned that my life was easier if I took it out of my suitcase and put it in a bin by itself to get through security. After being pulled aside the first couple of flights, I learned my lesson. Evidently they don't see many like this. Other than accommodating for the weight, it's a fantastic solution. It fired up my MacBook Pro, Iphone and Fitbit in no time, with no annoying noise, heat or damage risk.

There isn't anything negative that i can really say, but i'll try. Don't be deceived by it's compact dimension, this is HEAVY. The white exterior, isn't really suited for easy cleaning. The semi-matte surface will retain stains if you don't clean it often. So if you are to use it in the kitchen, try protect it from splatter. In all, its an amazing converter. i have full confidence in plugging multiple devices and it's dimensions and safety margin in wattage conversion means i can use it in my small kitchen with all my US/Japanese appliances with confidence. Recommended to all i know.
