It Worked For Me I recently purchased this item to use on a trip to Egypt. I took it along with a plug extender I already had from a high-wattage Recoton unit I have had for some time. I used it to charge camera batteries, my shaver, and an electric toothbrush in the hotel and on a Nile river boat. The Coby converter worked fine. Nothing melted. Nothing got overly hot. Everything got a proper charge out of it.
Defective Took 3 of these when travelling indian subcontinent to use with cordless phones where voltage is 220v. All 3 burnt and this is dangerous to use.
Coby CA-55R 50 Watt International Converter The item cannot be used in Europe alone. It needs an extra unit so it can be used there (particularly France and Eastern Europe). The extra unit must be purchased separately since they send me only the adapter. So bare this in mind if someone wants to use it in these particular areas.
Just what I needed I am Italian and I bought this product to use my new linksys CIT400 VOIP gateway and handset (I also bought this item on amazon) from Italy. The converter will plug-in in any standard Italian plug. The device works fine. So far so good. If you need a 110/220 adapter for Italy, this will work. Make sure your 110V device does not require more than 50W.
Dangerous product!!! I purchased 5 of these converters for use in India where the current is 240v. I handed them out to relatives along with mp3 players and phones. They all overheated and one actually melted and the black plastic casing became deformed by morning when plugged in to charge an MP3 player. This product is dangerous, at least for use in Bangalore!!!
