Power Hero 1000VA 700 Watt Step Down Voltage Transformer for Powering US 110-120V Appliances in the UK or Europe

Only used it so far with my drill battery charger but unit is well made and works as it should.

Very quiet and works perfectly with my vintage American Reel to Reel players. I was sceptical about the build quality and the possibility of transformer hum - But I needn't have been - It is very well built and silent.

Needed for my USA oscilloscope clock, 700 watts is probably overkill but but it's running now for over 24 hours and its stone cold and silent, would recommend. it appears to be using a beefy looking toroidal transformer ... looks built to last !

Does the job nicely. It was the lightest 700Watt step down convertor I could find but even then it is a hefty 4KG, I need it for my US appliances and in particular a food processor.It hasn't tripped once and is a well made piece of kit.

I've only used it a few times, and if it breaks I'll update the review, but for now I'm very happy. I have an american kitchenaid which I tried to use in the UK with just a little voltage converter from maplin, and the voltage converter melted. The smell was awful. I then read the label and it said up to 40W, and the kitchenaid needs 500W! The power hero has 700W, so I expect it'll continue to work just fine with my kitchenaid, though I'm somewhat annoyed that I have to have this enormous expensive box in my kitchen just to use one appliance. Why can't they all use the same darn voltage? come on humanity, lets get together and make stuff compatible. we could all drive on the same side of the road, all use the same width of railway tracks, and most of all ALL USE THE SAME FORMAT FOR DVDS. It is pure theft to have to re-buy your entire collection because you moved house!! Okay this is my issue and unrelated to the voltage converter so I'll shut up. just saying though.

This product stopped working after the return window had already passed, the transformer switches on but will not power any appliances plugged into it. £40 I’ll never get back

I have been using this transformer for a couple of months now and it works perfectly under quite a heavy load. Excellent value for money.

Did not work - had to return
