Great at the price - but keep within limits, 2008-05-08
Comment: I moved back from the US to the UK with a lot of electrical equipment.
I purchased a few of these units.
Anything electrical , without a motor is generally okay.
If you're running, for example, a motor or a big amplifier, then do some more research to make sure that this is good enough.
I'm down to 2 having tried it with a couple of kitchen-based electrical items, and them hearing a pop, and then smelling burning.
It has uni-directional screws, so if you blow it, you blow it.
Do some internet research to ocnfirm your power requirement - not just the wattage.
If you work it out (I'm still uncertain), then you're on for a cheap winner.
The Maplin version is twice the price and exactly the same.
5 stars if the fuse in the plug did anything useful.
