Thanks for your great service and informative video! Having bought a cheap transformer from Maplin for musical instruments I've got on ebay from America, I found that it'd soon died fairly quickly, before reading the fine print that says it's not for continuous use... Given the application requires something that can handle continuous use, I needed something more heavy duty and this fit the bill perfectly! Thanks again for your service and a great, affordable purchase.

at 1:32 you mention "input selector jumper switch." I need to buy one of those as the transformer it goes to doesn't work without it. Any ideas as to where to find one?

This is a great product. Very highly recommended. Please note that the version shown will provide up to 500W of power to the device. Check the power rating of your device. If it is 500W or less then it is compatible with the transformer in the video.

Can I use this to get 110v from my 240v twist lock outlet in the USA? Ex: I have a L6-30 outlet(for my compressor) and I can get an adapter to turn it into L5-15 and I'll still be getting 240 from that... Can I then plug this into that adapter and get 110 ? I don't know why I'm so confused by this unit... But basically I need 110, and I only have the one 30amp outlet.

I just received my Rockstobe Power 500 watt converter but realised that I had no clue on how to use it. Immediately, I looked for videos on how to use a voltage converter. Found this video and I am now just waiting for my KitchenAid mixer to arrive from the US and ready to plug it into the converter.

Glad you mentioned the fuse that is used (5A slow blow ). There is no manual or labelling anywhere. I tried a regular 5A and it blew immediately.

I’m in the Netherlands and I want to power Canadian electronics. They say it’s 230v but my transformer only converts from 220 or 240. Can I use
one of these or do I need a transformer that converts 230w?

Hello, I have the same transformer as yours, but recently it stopped powering on. When I first plugged it in it was working fine, however when I unplugged it from the wall and then replugged it it stopped turning on. Is there a way to fix this?

I want to know oh I get it to buy to come to Jamaica ho is a price go

Hi, if I have a 1000-watt mixer, and I’ll be using it for 1-2hrs (with pause in between, not continuously) is it ok to use a 2000-watt step down transformer? Thanks in advance.

[LesVentilateursduQuebec]

Very good review. For an electric fan that would use at the very most 120 watts used for only a few hours at the time, not constantly on, would the 200 watt model be enough?

I'm in the UK and I have a Japanese games console that says 100v 50w 50/60hz on the back of it, and 125v-6a on the plug. Will the step up and step down voltage converter in your video be right for it?

[RomboutVersluijs]

IM looking at getting a 2000w version of this brand. I cant find any website or so, guess it perhaps a Chinese manufacturer. Is this an okay brand to use?

[adnanabdullh]

Does it need to go into the wall power outlet or would it work fine on a power brick?

[TheLordstrider]

great video but i have few questions that not mentioned in the video.
if lets say my TV is 150W 110v. i am in UK so i use the 240 switch and convert it to 110. the questions are...
1. if i leave it plugged in the wall socket with nothing plugged in to the converter will it consume any electricity?
2. if TV is 150w will this converter consume more than 150W? (as for conversion power loss in the process)
3. if lets say i plug more things to it and the power draw exceeds Rated 500w what happens then?
4. also, if TV flactuates and uses 40w to 150w, does the converter always consumes 500w?

Hello, thanks for an informative video. I'm from the UK but I'm now living in Japan. I got my Xbox 360 Slim sent over here and since then I have been trying to find out how to get it to work over here. The Xbox AC Adapter is UK voltage and has an output of 135W DC. If I were to use this transformer, would everything work out alright? Is there any risk of messing up my Japanese TV?

Cheers

Hi I have a flour mixer that I bought from India and I want to use it in Canada. Do I need to select the 110v input in the back and the front plug the flour mixer to the 220v output?
thanks

[mci]

If I put the jumper at 240V, and plug it into 230V socket, I think the output voltage would be slightly above 100V (around 105V). and not 110V or more. Is my thinking right?

[zwitterelf]

What would be the best Watts for step down transformer for a 650W US Vicks/Kaz vapourizer to run in UK ? 1000W ?

[itildude]

I got the 2000 watt, unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find an adapter that will take my NEMA 6-50 plug to the 220 “universal” output on the transformer.
