Reliable buck converter as advertised

This is a direct buck converter. The plugin corresponds to the description. A bit bulky compared to some of the more expensive converters but I only need it to power my rechargeable razor and maybe a small 19-24 inch TV. Delivery: This box was so damaged I had a hard time getting it from the post office. I'm not sure how it even happens in a folded pallet, but my goodness, that crate was destroyed. There were 8 other items in the box, all of which arrived safely as the manufacturer's box (the…

Pros
  • Fully grounded input/output transformer for safe operation
Cons
  • Long delivery time

LiteFuze LC-300US delivers only 150W continuously

This is a well made 150w transformer at a fair price. I'm planning to power a device that requires 230VAC and only draws 120W of power, so I think I'll be pretty happy with that. As you can see in the listing, LiteFuze calls this a "300W" transformer. I don't understand how US regulations allow the company to do this because as LiteFuze says in the manual that came with it, the device will only deliver 150 watts continuously. I am familiar with ratings for various types of transformers…

Pros
  • max power up to 300W with overheat protection; Step up or step down functions for worldwide use
Cons
  • No instructions

The plug will not work in US outlets.

US style (NEMA 5-15) plug so it can be used to INCREASE standard voltage from 110-120 VAC US 50/60 Hz to European 220-240 VAC 50/60 VAC. However, it did come with a European plug (CEE 7/7). Also, there are no illustrations of the jack or the input voltage switch in the manual, and the latter is very poorly labeled. This is an orange switch with markings simply stamped on the plastic, indistinguishable from orange. I had to use a magnifying glass to see the "15" and "30" markings on the switch…

Pros
  • . Please choose the 115V switch if you use it in USA and make sure you switch to 230V if you use it abroad.
Cons
  • Operating Speed

Works great - updated on 12/20/20

I bought one of these voltage converters to power a 1980's portable stereo system (Skitronic Discolite) which I just bought from a dealer in Turkey. It was never originally sold in the US, so it only runs on 220VAC, 50Hz. The power cord also has a Type-C plug on the end. This Litefuze 300W voltage converter is perfect for powering my new (for me) portable stereo system. It has a built in plug adapter socket that easily accepts all kinds of different plugs including Type C on my portable stereo.

Pros
  • Efficiency of this transformer 2.0. DO NOT exceed 150W continuous use. The transformer is equipped with a thermal fuse and is switched off in the event of an overload. It turns on when it cools down again

Great, well-made converter, but be aware of a few things.

Great item. I bought a few of these and actually use one as an everyday down converter for a TV and home theater that I have in the USA where the voltage and my products are 110-120v (in my country the national grid is 240v) There is a small switch that you set to your line voltage - [Except here: the values on this switch are 115V and 230V, but almost all devices work in a certain range, ie 110-120V and 220-240V.] .The converter converts an input voltage of 110-120V to an output voltage of…

Pros
  • Product Dimensions: 5" x 3.5" x 3"; 2 lbs
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
