Where is the promised link in the description?

Also you need to state that the step-down converter you feature only supports 100w, so if the product you’re trying to power up requires more wattage, then this one is no good at all.

Thank you very much for the information. Much appreciated.

I assume this isn't an issue if the device supports 120V-240V range natively

Can you send me a link to one of these thanks.

You can’t plug in the 110 tool on 220 it will fry the device

Be careful
1. Using a hairdryer can overload the transformer as it properly draws around 21.67 amps on the transformer
2. output frequency is different. If you connect a clock radio(some use the frequency) then it might run to fast 😀

Often, battery chargers can work with a wide range of voltage. 120V up to 250V. The problem is to use less smart devices like shavers and hairdryers. British and European devices are designed for 230/240V. They can't be damaged, but they don't have to work or with less performance. Perhaps the electric cattle can't get the water to boil, or it takes longer.

Poor video - you didn't mention the max load is really low on that converter - about 0.5 amps. That's really low. Just about enough for a phone charger etc, but will cut out or blow up with anything big like a hairdrier.

Also - you didn't mention 50 vs 60Hz. Some devices rely on a specific frequency. Anything with an induction motor will run slower in the UK. So a turntable, tape etc would not work
