Review on 🔌 Simran AC-500 Step up Down Transformer: Efficient 110 to 220 Voltage Power Converter, 500 Watt, Black by Danny Kamerer

As many other reviewers have said, it gives off a bad smell when running, so bad I turn on my machines with a Hepa air filter every time I try to get some of the smell off the air. My other complaint is actually more of a complaint about Revain. They packaged it in an oversized, long, skinny, thin box with no significant protection inside. The outer box was open on arrival and had significant damage to the box including a large cut. The box that this device came in was also badly dented even though it was inside. It all fell apart and the device was basically out of the product box, just rolling around with a noticeable dent in the Revain box. It is metal but has a large dent. It doesn't seem to affect performance as it works well and gives off the same smell that other reviewers have mentioned so I know it should work properly. correctly outputs 220 volts to the European socket on the front panel. Overall I am happy with my purchase but it would have been better if the manufacturer had better protection in their packaging to protect it as otherwise Revain hasn't done much to protect it. I should also note that Revain usually packs orders neatly. It was a semi rare case where they didn't pack it well at all.
