Pyle Step Up and Down Converter - 500 Watt Voltage Converter Transformer w/ USB Charging Port, UK Power Adapter, AC 110 / 120 to 220 / 240 Volt Vice Versa, 110V/120V/220V/240V Input Voltage

Used for Europe made guitar amps on US 110 power

I bought it to use electronic devices that I bought from other countries.It was delivered perfectly in a very nice package.I had a hard time carrying because it is very heavy.It works smoothly without any problems.Yes there are some noice but its not much to bother me.Size is not small.It is really versatile product for me because I have many devices from another countries.

Works good to isolate power and prevent high amperage from the grid.

I was first very happy to find this, and it was from Pyle. Anyone who does much with audio has heard of Pyle. So I though - this is safe to buy. And it has some great features like the tap changing. But when it arrived, I was very disappointed.The initial impression is that it feels well built, except I could not find any UL mark / label anywhere. UL (and ETL) means that a product has been verified to be safe from shock and fire. The reason for no UL was evident after I decided to open it up. The protection fuse is an improper instrumentation size fuse (5mm x 20mm) and not a full sized AGC (1.25 inch) or equivalent rated fuse/breaker. And it blew while I was using this - due to the transformer's own inrush current. No load was attached! Just turned it on. Pop. The fuse is not slow blow for the transformer inrush.I was going to modify the fuse and holder to make it usable and then noticed that the transformer is not varnished. Every transformer shop I have ever worked with said that varnish is necessary to complete the insulation of the windings. So - project ended. I don't want this plugged into the utility continuously under the desk.

Since Amazon is forcing me to “edit” this review, but they provide me with a blank page instead of MY REVIEW to “edit” I guess I’m not going to waste my time writing a real review. Here are the Clifs Notes. Did NOT come with “extra fuses”. Does work. Also the long video review I made for this has disappeared from my photo app, so can’t share that or pictures either. Anyway…. the converter works and I do recommend. Thanks for wasting my time, again, Amazon.

I live in Kigali, Rwanda, I bought a Printer from Amazon and not knowing when I connected it to the power outlet, it burst but then Amazon helped and gave me another printer but I had to buy this item so as to step down my 220V to 110V which is compatible with the printer. The only issue is that the USB has never worked but It's not a big issue because I think I have may other options for a USB type A.

Works as described. I've been using it every day for 3-4 hours a day and I've had no issues at all. The description says it's portable and it is on the small side, but it's heavy. I would not recommend if you're traveling, if you're setting on a permanent place then I'll recommend this 100% great value for the money.I did noticed it did not come with a replacement fuse (not a big deal) aside from that, i have no complaints.

good product will think about buying more in the future
