Tools and Hardware Reviews of Proctor-Silex 10082 Foreign Travel Voltage Converter and Adaptor Set
Customer Review: Low wattage products might be a concern ...
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this for our recent vacation to Europe...it worked perfectly for a heater we were carrying to heat food for our toddler but it almost blew up the battery charger we were carrying for our digital camera. The adapters worked fine in Swtizerland, Italy and Germany.Customer Review: Not for your shaver or battery charger
Summary: 3 Stars
The converter is fine if you are using it for a hair dryer or some other appliance that consumes more than 50 watts. This means you cannot recharge your shaver or camera battery. Check the manual before you buy.Customer Review: There's a problem not mentioned here

Two different places in this product's description say that it is recommended for use with hair dryers when traveling in foreign countries. That's what I bought it for. But the 50-watt minimum is a problem, because the package warns that it cannot be used with products that have built-in electronic shock protection (i.e., a GFCI). That rules out any hair dryer sold in the U.S.! I guess if you plug it in before turning the hair dryer on, the GFCI is going to get fried because it will not consume enough power for the voltage converter to work.Customer Review: Careful what you use this with!

This unit is not suitable for low current/wattage items. My wife plugged our cell phone charger into it...and that was the end of the cell phone. If you plan on charging devices, you probably will have the same reslts...buy something rated for 0 to 50 watts!Customer Review: Damaged product
Summary: 2 Stars
The voltage converter is not functioning as it should, convert 220V to 110V. The 110V is not uniform so the appliances are not working normally.
