Customer Rating: Summary: Travel Step Down Transformer Comment: The stepdown transformer does what it says it does. I took mine to Singapore for two items I own that don't have 220 volt capable chargers: a garmin gps, and a sonicare toothbrush. I also use it for a 110volt beard trimmer. All are low power draw so the capacity was plenty. I have used it for about two months at this point with no issue. I pack it in my checked luggage. It is a transformer so it it has a bit of weight to it. I gave it four stars because I like it. To love it I would want some way to cover the prongs (or fold them down) during travel so they don't stab my other luggage items - a minor issue to me. Customer Rating: Summary: Continuous? Comment: I bought this so that I could plug a small fan into it. Whenever I did so, it started to smoke and fried. I am almost positive that the fan was within the guidelines for wattage, so I don't think that was the case. I wonder if it really should not be used with continuous draw appliances, although it says it handles them.
