Transformer Purchase Guide:
Remember to leave at least a 60%-70% slack for the transformer. For the TVs, the power surge margin is 5 times the wattage of the TV. Heating appliances, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these products you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.
CANNOT BE USED WITH HEATING APPLIANCES SUCH AS COOKERS, KETTLES OR HAIR STRAIGHTNERS, HAIR DRYERS, CURLING IRONS, TV OR POWER TOOLS.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent reliability Comment: I bought this product in 2002. Its still running for six years. I've kept it turned on for days together. Never heats up and has never let me down. Wonderful product. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect for Europe!! Comment: Perfect for electronics (I used it for my laptop and my Blackberry)! I left it plugged in for several weeks with no overheating issues. Also, the "pigtail" plug is perfect: Most transformers have the plug attached and can be very heavy and clunky when hanging from a socket. Customer Rating: Summary: Worked fine and not too bulky Comment: If you are going to Europe and want a step-down converter, this will do the trick. I used on my trip to Spain. It's not as big as others.
I used it to charge my camera & iPhone and it worked great.
My girlfriend also used it for her hair straightener and that worked fine as well. Other girls on my trip used a simple adapter and ended up frying their straighteners and/or burning their hair.
So ladies, make sure you buy a converter and not a simple adapter! :)
