 Perfect for Europe!! August 5, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.
 Worked fine and not too bulky June 27, 2008

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! :)
