I have a 230V PC from europe. will this converter help me power the PC in the US? right now it lights up but doesn't seem to work :(

Check the back of the PC near the power connector, you'll probably see a small red voltage switch, of you have have the power supply replaced fairly easily.

Yes it works, I use it for my laptop and tablet which originally both have 230V charger.

A PC usually takes more than 100W. You meed a more powerful transformer. Type in "transformer 110v to 230v 1000W" on amazon.

This unit comes with a standard AC adapter with USB to USB-mini connector (the mini connects into the unit and the USB into the adapter). I assume you could use the cable to also plug into a laptop USB port or USB port of a TV to draw power. The unit I received for USA use was 120 volts. I assume that if you have a proper converter for use in areas where there is 220 it will work. My daughter had purchased a converter from Amazon several years ago for her trip to London so she could charge up a video camera she took with her. It worked fine. There is also a short HDMI female to Male cable to slightly extend the unit from a TV. If you want to use the second USB port which is a mini there is a short USB to USB-mini cable included as well. You must be careful when you order these units and make sure that the picture shows all the items including the AC adapter. Some units are slightly cheaper, but do not come with an AC adapter.

all depends on your voltage in Europe. Seems to me if it is 110 to 277 volts there should not be a problem. anything more than that and it probably will not work. best bet would be get ahold of Leviton.

It's just a standard "American", three prong, grounded plug with four standard grounded outlets. It is not a European voltage converter. You would need a seperate converter.

Turn the switch on the transformer to 230V when using it in Europe. Then connect your American 110V item to the transformer.

Hello, I bought this converter in combination with a 110V pyrographic tool. After two days use, the tool had a short circuit and also the converter was burned through.I dont know if it was the tool or the converter that has caused the malfunction. That was my experience; I cannot advise you. The only thing I can say is that I would not buy this converter again. Wish you luck with your purchase!!! Hans Melissant

It has a American outlet and Im not sure you could use a converter to bring down to 110volt if using in Europe or elsewhere.Im unimpressed with the quality so I wouldnt buy it again and NOT bring it abroad (read my experience, the blade part isn't very good they had to resend me new ones)

Hi, it should be roughly $28 in shipping. The power supply is rated to work up to 220V; so, with a european adapter it should be able to work. Thank you and and let us know if we can help with anything else. -Dr.Bhoom

It works on 230V directly. You may need to change plug but no need to use step up transformer. I hope this helps.

I am confused. Where are you? USA or India? If you are in the US and want to use this upconverter to supply 220 volts to operate a 1000w food processor I think you will be fine. You might want to look at the surge wattage your processor draws upon startup just to be sure. But my guess is you will be safe because you are using a converter that is rated for twice your needs. That should be a safe cushion.

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards

Europe has higher power. You will need a converter. This is built for 110 volts.

Lindsey---All the Europe to USA Plug Adapter does is it converts two round prongs to two flat prongs for use in the USA. The chances of two of these adapters failing to work is not too probable. Either you have a bad power outlet connection or the Sony is inoperable. Try plugging the Sony into another power outlet & if that fails to power it up, return the Sony for one that works properly----good luck---Adios---Ralph.

Yes you can but remember these are only adaptors and not voltage convertors. Make sure to check the voltage/amperage of the equipment against that of the country you are traveling to. Generally Europe is 220 volts and the US is 120 volts. Here's a handy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country.

I think you would need a converter for the plug, just like the ones used for most U.S. appliances in Europe.

your batteries will either melt or the adapter will burn out. this is not going to work. I suggest you either find a similar high voltage batteries in europe to use, or if it is that important, then spend money on an actually worthwhile converter and not this cheap plastic knockoff that's only use is an oversized plug. also, check your adapter. make sure what it says. if it says 120-240 v, then you're gold. if not, then at the very least stay away from this thing.

I would have no idea. European power is different than that in the USA. It runs on 110 volt AC/ DC power source. That would be my concern...good luck !!
