Piece of garbage, July 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simran Dual Wattage Foreign Voltage Converter/ World Travel Kit (Electronics)
Nice idea, and I had a similar device before. But the plug is jammed, cannot plug anything into it. Kind of useless if nothing will plug into it. I cannot believe that there was no quality control to actually try plugging something in... seems like one of the tests a company should be making. Anyways, into the garbage bag.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

I originally purchased two of these, took forever to arrive in Kuwait via APO AE. By the time I got them I used them twice and they overheated and melted the plastic housing. They would be great if they work but they dont. Unable to send back cause of the crappy return policy. Treat these like the plague.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Hi,i have never wrote bad review.
and this is the first.
i bought this Simran unit for 900W product and it just doesn't work.
i tested it with multi meter and found that the 1600W option
return between 40V-70V instead of 110V-120V.
the 50W option works fine.
bottom line if you need to use it for product with more than 50W
this is just doesn't work!
save your money.

I bought this converter because I was going to France and wanted to charge my cell phone. As soon as I tried to charge it, I realized that the converter, even though it said that it was for Europe, did not work in France. I have since returned this item.2 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
Do not buy this product it does not work!!, July 21, 2010

I recently purchased this product and took it with me to Europe. It did not work at all in 3 different locations. My wife tried using it for her hair dryer and her flat iron, and neither would work. Yes, I knew to use the adapter as well as the plug, and we had it on the highest setting. When you purchase a product like this, and intend to use it out of the country, where you cannot find one to replace it, you expect it to work.1 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

My wife attempted to use her hair straightener with this product on the 1600 setting and the plug first popped and melted a bit. The straightener got extremely hot so gave up. The next day, she tried again and the fuse blew. Very disappointed.6 of 25 people found the following review helpful:

I bought this converter for my trip to Spain. I used my straightening iron on my hair,it converted the voltage wrong, and it fried my hair! It was horrible. I had to cut parts of my hair really short and ended up with a mullet. Worst experience ever! Do not buy this item!
