SIMRAN 200 WATTS DELUXE STEP DOWN VOLTAGE CONVERTER MODEL SMF-200 FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL.
I bought this for my 2 month trip to Europe (which i’m only a week into and don’t have a voltage converter to use since this one broke) and the first day I got here I used it for my laptop and a few other things like my phone charger, camera charger, etc. but then when I went to do my hair I plugged my blow dryer into it and my blow dryer would hardly even blow hair and then it just stopped so I figured my blow dryer just blew its fuse but then I found out that my converter also stopped working after that. So this product works fine for most things I think just NOT a blow dryer! Don’t use it with one or else your money will go right down the drain like mine did. Also, it is actually pretty heavy. . it weighed by bag down quite a bit so remember that for traveling.

I purchased this unit for a trip to Ireland. I used it for my curing iron and on the second use it died and can not be brought back to life. It is cheap and is a waste of your money. It is also heavy, I packed it into my carry on during the trip to Ireland and it was added weight I could have left at home.
I am very sorry I decided to buy this item.

I bought this product for a two-month stay in Europe last summer. It worked well for about two weeks, but then, it would only work if I held the plug in the converter at a certain angle. After about 4 weeks, it started sparking whenever I plugged things into it, and that was the end of that.
To be fair though, I did abuse it somewhat. It specifically says on the box not to use it with items that heat up (such a blow dryers, irons, toasters, etc. ), and I admit that I used it to plug in my straightening iron.
If you need it for heated items and plan on using it for a while, I would suggest you get something else. Actually, even if you’re not heating anything up, I still suggest you get something else. My suggestion: go to Brookstone.

Shipping cost is same as product price. I would rather buy it from a shop.

Yesterday I used it with a Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter as usual Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter , I just woke up morining only to find that the purifier is not working , I told to my self it must be the device , then I checked the converter only to see that the RED indicator light of the converter is not working ,I disassemble the converter no fuse nothing weird .
It’s up to you to buy this converter I have a second one and let’s see how many months/days it will gonna last with me .
I’ll keep you updated with a second review about this , I guess I’m lucky enough to not lose the purifier itself, although I lost the 20 $ plus the international shipping fees .
