## Description

Mercury Stepdown voltage converter 230V - 110V 45W : desertcart.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science

Review: So far, so good - I've had this step-down current converted for a couple of weeks now, and it's never shown any signs of failing, burning or made any loud noise. I've been using it with a 37 Watt air purifier, on and off, sometimes ensuring to not exceed 1 hour usage at a time, but occasionally forgetting about this restriction (read the description and don't use with high wattage appliances). The device does get warm, but reasonably so, like a phone charger. And it does work. How do I know? Well, when I bought my American purifier (120V), I initially plugged it in using an ordinary US to UK plug adapter. The purifier was then very fast/loud, even on the lowest setting, making me think it was broken. But since I started using this converter, the purifier has been working much more quietly/slowly, when expected to do so. It looks like getting twice the current made it work twice as fast, which was not how it was meant to be. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.
Review: Do not purchase! Fire hazard - 2 mins into using this with my blow dryer brush on low i heard a popping sound. Smelt something burning and the dryer stopped!!! I quickly plugged out the converter and it was still popping and smoking... tried to capture it on video but it was faint. My room smells horrible and now my dryer is not working along with the converter plug... I am so disappointed as the reviews praised this but I should have spent a little more and got a unit that actually is safe and durable. If I could give zero star I would. Will be returning and would never recommend or repurchase!!!! Not safe at all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it 3 pin plug head and Will  it step down for a toddler ride-on car charger rating : 120V- 60Hz 0.12A**
A: It is a 3 point head but I don't know about stepping down for a ride on car I use it for a magic bullet (mixer).

**Q: will this work for a  US playstation in UK?**
A: I'm not certain but it worked for my appliance that I bought in Canada. Sorry not to be more helpful

**Q: Will this work for a u.s.a nintendo wii in the u.k?**
A: Depends on the voltage of the Wii.  The adapters take an 110v appliance and convert it to 240v, the British norm.  I use them for Christmas lights that we bought home and also for my sewing machine which I bought in the USA.

**Q: i have bought rusk str8t hair straightners they are 120v 60hz 300w. Would this converter be ok for the straightners?**
A: Mine melted when used for long periods to power Christmas lights @100 w. Better go to Maplins who sell a 120v 300w transformer. Best of all I think buy a 240v pair.
