2.0 out of 5 stars Learn the truth about this "Converter" and don't get burned, February 27, 2009

This review is from: Franzus TSM-1875CK International 1875 Watt Converter/Adapter Set (Electronics)
The product description of this item ( Franzus TSM-1875CK International Converter/Adapter Set) is highly misleading. It says: "Converts 220V foreign electricity to 110V for use overseas on most U.S. appliances rated 0-1875 watts". But the fact is, it can only convert 220V to 110V at LOW setting, which works up to merely 25 Watts.

This product is actually two different converters built into one package. At LOW setting, it uses a small AC transformer to convert 220V sinusoidal waveform into a 110V sinusoidal waveform. This is the preferred approach which works well for any low-power electronic appliance.

To handle higher power, the AC transformer must be made bulkier and heavier (around 20 pounds just for 1000W). This makes it impractical as a travel voltage converter for large-wattage appliance. Therefore at HIGH... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly in Southern Italy, September 9, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Franzus TSM-1875CK International 1875 Watt Converter/Adapter Set (Electronics)
I went to Rome, Sorrento/amalfi coast and sicily and this thing worked with flying colors as far as charging my cell phone, Video Camera, and camera. I used southern Europe plug on the Low setting. I did not try to use it for a hair dryer or anything powerful though so i don't know about the high setting. It also did not get hot or anything like that (and neither did my devices)

Drawbacks are that while it fit in the European outlet, the heavy transformer fits in sideways, which gravity ALMOST pulls it out of the wall. What i had to do a few times was to use the hotel garbage can and rest it against it to make sure that it didn't fall out fo the wall socket and just to make it more stable. Otherwise the thing did exactly what i wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product for the price, August 2, 2009

This review is from: Franzus TSM-1875CK International 1875 Watt Converter/Adapter Set (Electronics)
I used this converter frequently while traveling for 2 weeks in the UK with an infant (6-12 times during each day and it was used every night, all night). The "LO" setting worked for recharging all of our portable electronics (video camera, digital camera, pda) and worked for our baby monitor in the evening as well (I brought along an indoor extension cord so I could plug in the baby monitor's base station and the recharger for the portable monitor). The "HI" setting worked for the baby's bottle warmer. Considering the low price (I picked it up at Walmart for $29.99) I couldn't ask for more (and I didn't have to pack 2 converters like I usually do!).

A couple of things to note (and hopefully I can save someone else from panicking): the converter gave off an electronic smell for a few hours during the initial use but did go away after that. Also the unit did feel warm to the touch after being on all night so I would be careful not to use it where the device would be... Read more
