FOVALPower Step Down 220V to 110V Voltage Converter International Travel Adapter for Hair Straightener/Curling Iron Including US/AU/EU/UK/India Universal Plug Adapter

I used this converter on a recent trip to Great Britain. It functioned perfectly and did everything I could have expected from it. I may not have been attentive to the info prior to ordering, but one pleasant surprise was that the converter, cord, and various plug-ins came along with a nice cloth pouch which made packing much easier. Thanks for that thoughtful touch.

Converter used in AU flawlessly. Even able to use hair straightener with no problems!

Excellent for Europe!

Did what was expected. The only issue is the newer Apple chargers are very wide so you can't connect two side by side.

Item is extremely poor quality and does not work as advertised. Tried using a hair straightener that was made for United States specifications while traveling to Europe and it was fried. This device does not invert power clearly and ruined the hair straightener, and is worthless. Would not recommend.

I am updating my review as on reflection I was unfairly critical of the product. The product works. Although I did not directly verify this, I am confident that it performs to specification, unfortunately the output is simply lower than what I was looking for. If the 2A output on the AC plugs will meet your needs, I would in fact recommend this product.It is worth noting that the seller contacted me about my original two-star review and even offered me a refund despite being well past any return date (not to mention that I left the product in my hotel room). I declined the refund as I thought it would be unfair, but nonetheless am updating my comments (and rating) here to rate the actual product they were selling - rather than the product I had imagined/hoped they were selling.Based on my experience of the product (which was indeed quite well-designed and well-made) as well as the positive interaction with the seller, I would certainly buy something else from them.Original review:I should have read the specs. This unit actually can deliver greater amperage via USB than via the AC outlets. I thought when the listing referenced using this for hair dryers, it would be fine. Left it in the garbage in my hotel after first use.I am curious if the person who wrote this listing could point to a hair dryer which only uses two amps. (This was not my application in any case, since I don't use them and pretty much every hotel has them). I had hoped to use it with a clothes steamer, which I prefer over the also ever-present iron.Very disappointed, as the form factor was great and you can use your own cord with an IEC-320-C5 plug (and whatever end you need for your destination's plug configuration on the other end), which is preferrable to their provided adapters.The search continues.

The media could not be loaded. Preliminary notes... WATCH THE FOVAL VIDEO. IT'S A GREAT SUMMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION:The unit is rated at 200 watts. (DISREGARD MY COMMENT IN MY VIDEO RE: 250 WATT CAPACITY) Most questions you'll have will be about figuring out what devices you can power from this converter so that you don't exceed the total of 200 watt output capacity. Even if you exceed the unit's power-output-rating, the unit has internal protectors which will prevent damage to the unit. Most important recommendation to anyone who isn't "tech saavy" and has questions about what devices can be used with this adapter; talk to someone who is. Most "electro-mechanical" devices like shavers and small table top fans consume under 75 watts. And most electronic devices have labels with power consumption on the power supplies or on the item itself. Most laptop and cellular phone power supplies are rated to operate from 110vac to 220vac. So you wouldn't need this converter. But, for instance, if you have your phone but no charger-power supply available, you'll be able to get power from the unit's four USB outlets. Just one of many great features of this device.About the multiple cooling fans inside the converter......While I try never to dismiss someone's complaints... (all things in life are relative, right?)... Unless I heard wrong, based on the manufacturer's/distributor's video, there are multiple mini-fans within the converter. This is understandable given that this is a power-converter/power supply. I bring this up as there have been comments/complaints relating to the noise level of the converter. The unit I have does generate a very low-level fan noise, which I'd say is typical for a laptop computer cooling fan. I never felt it was at a bothersome level; only noticable when I focused on it. And frankly, it's one way of knowing you've left the unit in the "power-on" state. (there's an on-off button and a colorized usage light too). My thoughts are that whomever does have an issue with the low-level fan noise, may have an "out of specifications" unit, or they're applying unreasonable expectations for near-absolute silence. We're using this in our bedroom. And my wife is extremely sensitive to noise. She's never made mention of the cooling fan. And I left Vietnam with ringing in my ears that's been a constant companion for my entire adult life. So a little mini-cooling fan noise is the last item on my "priority list." Enough said.We've been in Brazil for the past three weeks of a one month trip, and have used the converter, primarily, to power a small table top fan, and to charge our phones and Ipad devices. It's been a perfect, compact, and easy-to-tote solution. For years, both we, US residents, and our family in Brazil, have resorted to "transformers", (rather heavy), when needing to "drop voltage (220vac to 110vac)" for the many US based appliances and devices we've brought, or were being used here. This is one of the items I've purchased on Amazon where I only have "POSITIVE COMMENTS." It's doing exactly what is needed. I'd certainly recommend this device to others.

Ok
