UMI Step Down Transformer 220V to 110V 1200W Use US Appliances to Europe

I bought this 220-110 Volt 1200 Watt step down transformer to replace an UMI 800W unit that I was using for a home office paper shredder in MNL. I blew the caps (capacitors) off the 800W unit because I didn't realize that the shredder wattage at 720W was nominal, not peak. When I started it up after several days there was a loud bang and my transformer was no more. To ensure this didn't happen again, I purchased this 1200W bad boy and since deploying it, I haven't had any issues. There are several features of this converter that make for it to be a great purchase. First, It is quiet. Second, it has an easily read display showing the incoming voltage. Third, it doesn't get too hot and finally, it looks good. Unlike many stepdown converters sold today online which look industrial, this UMI looks very pleasing (with a white plastic casing). It can set on a kitchen counter or in a bedroom and not look really out of place. A couple of other things. The back of the case comes with an inset slot so you can hang the converter on the wall with a screw. Note that the converter is heavy (heavier than it looks) and needs to be attached securely into a stud or concrete (not just 1/2" or 5/8" thick drywall). When a load is not running, the converter uses a very small amount of standby power which is owing in part to the toroidal transformer (which also accounts for the transformer's weight). The converter's output consists of two receptacles - one is 100VAC (Japan) and the other is 110VAC (North America). Be careful which one you plug your 120VAC device into. I've applied a small piece of electrical tape across the 100VAC outlet to ensure I don't mistakenly use it. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and would purchase again should I need an additional unit.

I bought this to use my printer and tv in Europe. Great product it has a nice design.

Excellent with a Sony soundbar (Bravia bar 9) silent, works great, 100% recommendable

I bought this for my uncle's kitchenaid stand mixer, the mixer was bought in canada, he lives in Portugal, as far as I know its been working great with daily use. It weights about as much as a rhino but that's to be expected from a transformer capable of withstanding this power.

Le produit est arrivé assez rapidement. De l’extérieur le transformateur parait comme dans la description. Cependant je ne l'ai pas encore testé dans le pays du 220v.
