Editorial Review: Product Description: Ideal for International travel. It converts 220v-240v current (the norm in foreign countries) to 120v US household current. Includes 5 adapter plugs to keep you powered in Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, Midlle East and the Caribbean! Use with electrical appliances requiring up to 1600 Watts and electronic devices up to 50 Watts. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Learn the truth about "Dual Wattage" converter and don't get burnedThis item offered here (PowerLine 0900-27 Global Power Travel Kit) is actually two different converters built into one package. At LOW setting (up to 50W), it uses a small AC transformer to convert 220V sinusoidal waveform into a 110V sinusoidal waveform. This is the preferred approach which works well for any low power appliance. To handle higher power, however, the AC transformer must be made bulkier and heavier (around 20 pounds just for 1000W). This makes it impractical as a travel ... Read More Rating:  - Really worked greatWe used this on our recent trip to the UK. We visited England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Wales. We used this at every stop. Hooked a 1600 watt blow dryer, a 1200 watt curling iron and even used it to recharge my camcorded battery. This little unit never gave me the first problem. Rating: - WorksThis item worked well. It was bulky and a little heavier than I would have liked it to be; but still, it has survived several layovers in O'Hare and that's more than I can say for my suitcase! Rating: - Not so bad...I have had this on 1 trip to Switzerland and Germany. I did not use the voltage converter, only the plugs. The adapters worked great, although trying to figure which ones you need so you only pack the correct ones is not easy, the "manual" in the package is no help. The plastic case is cheap and broke while in my suitcase during the flight over. If you are looking for just the adapters this is a good value. I can't comment however if the voltage converter works. Rating:  - TerribleI would not recommend this product at all. We bought it new for a trip to New Zealand just to have an extra for my husband's laptop. The 3rd time he plugged it in, we went out for a bite to eat and came back to find our hotel room smoky and smelling like an electrical fire. The converter literally melted; we had to use the ice tongs to pick it up. Imagine if we'd stayed out with friends! I'm buying another Franz. Had mine for years and never had a problem.
