1600W 220V to 110V Converter for European International Travel, Universal Power Plug Adapter Voltage Converter US to Europe, Plug & Play, No Limitations - Power Any American Appliances Overseas

Perfect

I travel internationally very often for work. I needed a converter that could handle more than just a cellphone or iPad. When you travel as much as I do, you sometimes just want to stay in your hotel room and not go find a restaurant. As the description says, you can use a rice cooker or hot plate (along with many other things) and not have to worry about blowing a fuse or messing something up. The included converter plugs mean it will work anywhere, and the dual inputs are great. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is really my fault - the weight make it heavy in luggage, and I didn't pay enough attention to the description. By giving it 4 stars maybe that will get people's notice so they don't make the same mistake. However, it's not so heavy that you can't easily pack it. And of course, it needs to be heavy to be able to safely convert voltage. If you need a CONVERTER and not an ADAPTER, this one is top-notch.

This unit runs quietly. The fan runs on low all the time, but it can hardly be heard on standby. It does accelerate with a higher load. I've tested the unit with inductive loads and it works very well. I've also tested it with a 900W microwave, a test that requires very clean power. It works fine, but the microwave has a higher buzzing noise than if operated on the grid (which is indicative of an imperfect sine wave). I then added a large fan running at about 60W and the unit started making some crackling noises, yet both the fan and the microwave ran fine, without any deviation in speed, etc. This unit is nice, but it's not a 1600W unit! It will handle loads of under 1000W just fine, but it struggles with loads above that.

This converter is rated to handle up to 1200 watts. There are many appliances that need up to that much. I got it for a sewing machine which does need more than a smaller converter I have. Before you spend money on higher watts do some research and make sure you actually need it. With the above said I have to mention that I have a smaller converter that handles a smaller sewing machine of mine just fine. My smaller machine is labeled at 53 watts & this thing would be overkill. Do your research and determine what you need. Another important thing to keep in mind is that you may not need a converter at all. Maybe all you need is an adapter, which changes the plug type. Many modern electronics have dual voltage and only need an adapter. Check yours. Adapters are less costly than converters. If you've determined that A- you need a converter, and B- you need up to 1200 watts, then this converter is a great choice! It is lightweight for the function it performs. It has a type E/F plug on it already. That is compatible with most of Europe. And it includes 3 separate plug adapters to use in other countries. The very long list of countries for all 4 plug types is included in the spec literature. My last picture also shows this. The cherry on top would have been if they included a carrying case. There isn't one. But I won't dock them a star for this because it really is a good price for the features it offers.

This power converter is an absolute must-have for international travel! It worked flawlessly with a variety of smaller devices, and the build quality is solid—comparable to a well-made power strip. The heavy-duty cord adds to its reliability, and it even comes with basic international travel adapters, which are a great bonus. The 1600W power capacity is impressive and easily handles high-wattage appliances like a rice cooker or hair dryer. I tested it with multiple devices, and everything worked smoothly without any issues. While the unit is a bit bulky, it’s far more convenient than carrying multiple adapters, especially for long trips to 220V countries. What I love most is its versatility and thoughtful design. It’s compact enough to pack and comes with four types of adapters, making it usable anywhere in the world. For the price, this converter offers tremendous value and saves me the hassle of buying separate adapters for each device. Whether for short trips or extended stays, this is an essential travel accessory for anyone needing a reliable, high-capacity power solution. Highly recommend!

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Item Option: 220 V Works well but really heavy to travel with. Pros: - Reliable Performance: Effectively converts voltage, ensuring devices work safely and smoothly. - Wide Compatibility: Works with a variety of electronics, making it versatile for travel. Cons: - Bulky Design: Heavier than expected, which can make it less ideal for packing in luggage. Overall: This converter delivers dependable functionality for international travel but could benefit from a lighter, more travel-friendly design. Based on my preferences, the intended use, and my experience with this product, here’s my true rating 🌟 = 4/5

I ordered this voltage converter for my trip to Scotland, and it worked great. It's quite lighter than my previous converter, which is nice when having to pack a checked bag. I was able to use my curling iron without issue while in Scotland. The unit comes with 3 different adapters, in addition to the plug on the cable itself. Overall, I'm glad I had this on my trip!

This product is advertised on the seller's web page as a pure sine wave converter. Is it a converter with pure sine wave capabilities? I'm not convinced it is. The unit does not indicate pure sine wave anywhere on it. Certainly not on the top of the unit as shown in the web page graphic. Furthermore, the included printed information for this converter also does not indicate anywhere that this is pure sine wave capable. So if you are buying a pure sine wave converter for close to $100 you should trust that the product includes printed information to back up this claim on both the unit and the included printed information. I don't have any way to test this converter without an oscilloscope which I do not have access to. Pure sine wave inverters prevent issues like overheating, noise, and erratic operation in devices with motors or certain electronics, such as microwaves, laser printers, and variable-speed tools. Devices like refrigerators and power tools often run more efficiently and last longer with pure sine wave power. So should I really trust that this converter will not damage my sensitive electronics and motors if the product itself does not indicate pure sine wave capability?
