Review on πŸ”Œ Seven Star 220V/110V Step Down Transformer 200W with Italy Travel Adapter Plug (200-IT) by Saumeen Shamoon

This transformer with adapter for Italy was perfect for our trip to Italy

This transformer with adapter for Italy was perfect for our trip to Italy. The adapter needed for Italy is different from the adapter for other countries - these are round metal pins with three teeth. The adapter can be detached from the transformer, leaving a two-pin round adapter that also works directly with Italian plugs. This one might work elsewhere in Europe - I'm not sure, but it seems possible. The transformer did its job - it converted the European voltage of 220 V and 50 Hz to the US standard voltage of 110.60 Hz. I had no problems. I was surprised that iPhones didn't need to be charged as they are designed to handle any voltage. However, I needed it for a laptop and a hair straightener. In some hotels the hair straightener didn't get as hot as usual, but I don't think it has anything to do with the transformer. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it's quite heavy. I know I've had a lighter Transformer in the past. Since I wasn't heavily packed and it was left in the hotel room, that wasn't a problem, but it would actually be difficult to lug around.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Communication with the seller
