Upgraded 2200W 220V to 110V Converter for European Travel, Voltage Converter US to Europe for Hair Dryer Straightener Curling Iron, 2500W Adapter with EU/UK/AU/US Plugs for Laptop Camera Cell Phone

It worked exactly as expected and performed very well. I bought it for my mother-in-law, and she used it for her hair curlers, hair dryer, and for charging both her phone and her roommate’s phone during a 9-day trip through Italy Rome. She was very pleased—no problems whatsoever. It worked great, and I highly recommend it!

Update 10/10/2020-------------------------Do NOT count on their warranty, it is USELESS. They do NOT stand by it, not only that, but they are terrible at communication. it's great when it works, but if it falls, No warranty !!!Pros:-1- Looks and feel that it was very well built, and of good quality material, not cheaply made2- It stays relatively cool (unlike other adaptors), even when left plugged for extended period of times , and uses no fans, so no noise3- The American flag is printed on the converter side, so it act as a constant reminder as to what is converter and what it not and just act as a plug adaptor (doesn't convert current)4- I like the USB for faster charge of your small electronics at the same time, rather than using a separate charger, so when on the go, this can replace multiple charger, different ones for iPhone, iPad, android phones etc, which is a big plus5- comes complete with 3 plug adaptor, which makes it really versatile and universal for using almost anywhere where you need to convert the 220-240 to 110 current or even use the adaptor side with universal voltage electronics6- Nice Hard protective travel case - although this doesn't come from all sellers, as my first one came only with a less protective travel mesh in a small nice cartoon box, but without the hard case. The confusing thing, that both sellers have the unit for exactly the same price, just slightly different photos, which was very hard to pick up on, till I came to order me second one, and this when I realized that I amassing the hard case. I contacted both sellers. Do Tech confirmed that theirs comes with the advertised hard case, and Gugule, confirmed that theirs sells only with the travel pouch, but when I asked Gugule customer service, if they can help by sending me a free case for my first order, rather than returning it and re-ordering it from the other seller. Abby from customer service, went out of her way, and contacted the other seller, which turned out to be another subsidiary from the same company, and they promised to send me another hard case for free, which they did, and that made me very happy and the nice gesture from both sellers were much appreciatedCons - or rather wishes for future improvement1- it would be nice to have it as universal step UP/ step DOWN converter than one can take anywhere in teh world, in the same small size factor/ beautiful design2- Although the converter side of the unit comes clearly marked with the American flag, I still can see myself plugging a 110 electronic in the wrong, plug adaptor, non converter side, ruining whatever I am trying to plug, as it can easily be done, specially when the plug adaptor is already built in, so it won't make you stop for second to rethink what you are doing, if that adaptor wasn't built in, so I would suggest adding clear wording or a stop sign in red on that sign indicating that, that side of teh unit is NOT a converter and it is to be used only by either for 110 volts machines on the same voltage, 220 Volts on the same voltage, or by a universal voltage electronics - as for me, for the time being and for my purposes, and since all I need is the step down function, I ended up putting a red post it note and taped it over, to cover the 2 plug adaptor sides, sa to act as constant reminder and hopefully help me remember not to burn another trimmer adaptor, as I already did that twice before ( NOT with the adaptor)I hope this review will be found helpful for everyone.Thanks Abby from Gugule and Thanks Do Tech customer service for your courtesy and professionalism, but I wish you standardize the unit with the hard case for everyone, which make sense, to protect the unit, which is meant be useful during travels

BEWARE - Does not work for hair dryers in India. This converter caused us a major headache and issues as it took down electricity at the place we were staying. We had to call an electrician and pay for him to fix the issue. I tried to reach their customer service to return it, but nobody bothered to reply.

I own two of these devices and use them frequently. When plugging a US curling iron plug into the US flag receptacle, my wife has burned out 2 different $60+ US-purchased curling irons (the curling iron handle got so hot the handle began to melt). I believe the voltage converter correctly reduced the 220V to 110V but the variable heat dial on the curling iron was turned up too high, which burned out the curling irons. I am no expert, but don't believe this product reduces the amps enough which creates too much wattage for a US curling iron. I believe the solution is to either always remember to turn down the curling iron variable heat dial to the minimum prior to plugging in the curling iron (reducing the wattage) or to purchase a dual or multi voltage curling iron to avoid the issue.

The reason I bought this converter/adapter was to act as a high-amp plug adapter for my hair dryer on a trip to the UK. My hair dryer is dual-voltage, so I didn't need a converter per se. Simple plug adapters are only rated for 3 amps, however, not enough for the dryer. The DoAce is rated for 10 amps, which was more than enough. I almost passed it up, thinking I could borrow hair dryers, but I'm very glad I bought it and took it along.Once I got to the UK, I discovered that most of the places I stayed, even hotels, did not have USB charging ports for my phone and e-reader. I used it as a charger almost every night. And yes, the hair dryer on its 250V setting worked well in the 220-240V outlets.The DoAce is quiet, doesn't become hot with use, and comes with a convenient carrying bag that keeps unit, cord, and plug organized in your suitcase.

I bought this after going through so many pages of which converter to buy and finally decided on this one. The deciding factor was it has a 2200W capacity, which was more than what the other products advertise.I used this when I was in Denmark and Sweden and I had no problems using it for my devices. It is very small, compact, and it comes with a hard shell case that is convenient for travel with different adapters inside. For it's compact size and capacity--it does the job of charging different gadgets. It comes with 1 converter plug, 1 adapter plug, and 4 usb plugs.For those deciding whether to use this for high power tools like hair straightener, curling iron, or blow dryer, I would not recommend it even though the picture says so. I would not recommend using ANY high powered device on small compact converters. You need a high capacity high power converter (not realistic because if you end up bringing ones they are usually big and bulky). So just opt into getting a hair straighter/curler/blow dryer that is dual voltage and use the adapter in this device to plug it directly in the country of your choice. That is a much safer bet and your problem is solved. That is what I do when I travel.Other than that, for multiple devices and to those who travel a lot, this is a definite must have!

We just got back from a trip to London. My wife used this product with her curling iron and it worked great. We plan to travel to other places in the future as well. This product comes with all kinds of adapters for power systems around the world, so it's a good addition to our kit.
