LiteFuze LR-3000 3000 Watt Voltage Regulator with Transformer Step Up/Down 110V/220V - IEC Detachable Cord - Circuit Breaker (LR-3000(DC))

it works perfectly and solved our problem of using European appliances in the US with no need of any house modifications

Pretty big, but does exactly what it should.

nice

works as advertised

I did like the idea but I feel lied too because looking at the picture it seems too be a regular 220 plug and really it was half the size of the regular 220 I purchased the biggest one too insure the quality and it still wasn't what I was looking for

voltage will jump from 105 v to 116v even there is no load. I know that it should do this but for very frequent instances. Not good because this one i can no longer file for a return.

works nicely, no problems

After a fair degree of reserach both within Amazon, at Fry's and elsewhere, it became evident that many of these products are simply made by the same company and either modestly modified or simply rebranded by them.Therefore - on the generically-assumed basis that reliability was going to be more-or-less similar for all of them - whichever the brand I chose, I then looked at what each individual unit had to offer versus price.That analysis made, I came to the conclusion that the above unite best suited my purposes for something that offered multiple outlets as well as a visual indication of the working effectivity of the unit with regard to both voltages input and output.It arrived in due course - as expected and according to the delivery schedule. The unit was well packed - double-boxed, in fact - and looked "suitably serious" when I opened it. Though it does have quite a large footprint on the counter-top...Its not "light" and anyone purchasing this for use in 220v countries had better include it in their "Container" - rather than try and carry it in their on-flight baggage...The first thing I did - naturally - on arrival in Europe was to cut off the original, USA-styled mains plug and replace it with a three-pin 220V Euro-equivalent.As a general methodology for use, I first plug in the appliance I am going to be using into the front panel - and then turn on the Transformer itself so that mains current at 220v can flow to its primary coil. Then I monitor the input voltage and check that I'm getting 110v out of it. Finally I start the unit - in this case a Juicer - and use it as normal. To turn it off, I simply reverse the order.I never leave the Transformer plugged-in or in "on" condition all the time. After all - its Chinese and they sure have been known to make some good-looking but often shonky products: especially when its impossible to now who the original manufacturer is because of the multiple re-branded offers.As most products when turned on initially "surge", I find that as a general rule it is better to have at least 40% more capacity on the transformer than the unit to which the modified current is being supplied. Hence the choice of a 1500 Watt unit to feed a 1000 watt appliance.So far - so good. I use it every day for about 15 mins of juicing and it seems to be holding up as expected. My only regret is that I didn't splash for a 2000 Watt unit - so that I might have enjoyed some of the other appliances purchased whilst in the 'States - such as a 1400 Watt sandwich-toaster.I only attribute 4 stars to this product because I am - perhaps unfairly but nevertheless based on previous experience of Chinese-manufactured products of this genre - half expecting it to give-up-the-ghost at any time and know that when it does it will be just about good enough for a small boat-anchor: because I doubt there will be any support for me that is financially viable now that I'm no longer in the USA.Maybe I'm just being pessimistic. I could quite naturally be entirely wrong and maligning a perfectly stallion product whose life expectancy will be gracefully fulfilled beyond my somewhat "jaded" expectations :) (Watch this space...!)

good
