What is Reddit's opinion of Simran AC-500 110 to 220 Voltage Power Converter Step up Down Transformer, 500 Watt, Black?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Do a Google search and Amazon shop needs to be 110v to 220v might be more portable options if you look around I've never had to use one. Idk if the lack of voltage could have damaged the synth or not I cant speak on that. https://www.amazon.com/Simran-AC-500-Voltage-Converter-Transformer/dp/B004MPR3XQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=voltage+converter+110+to+220&qid=1589748182&s=electronics&sr=1-4

I have put miles of yarn through my ZQ-II. I use a 500w 110 to 220 step up transformer. I usually do it on 110 for detail work and 220 for the longer runs when I want to go faster. It's super fast at 220, I wouldn't recommend it for someone learning.

Yes it would, but it's price and presentation is ridiculous. It seems that it's a professional device with a professional price. I bet this converter would work equally well for less than a tenth of a price: https://www.amazon.com/Simran-AC-500-Voltage-Converter-Transformer/dp/B004MPR3XQ/ref=sr\_1\_3?keywords=110+to+220+transformer&qid=1637180508&sr=8-3

Oh, you're title had me confused too.

What you'd want to do then is covert 110v (current) to 220v (current), that's how that is said; something like this might help:

But, look up regulations in the place where you'd be staying in the USA about using devices meant for other countries' specifications. For example, there are regulations around interferences, noise etc. that a device is allowed to produce that may be different between countries.

I did a quick search on Amazon and this is what I found for $39 USD

I gave the USA Xiaomi Customer Support number a call, and the agent said the model is not built for US power outlets. After some research, I found you need a transformer rather than a converter. Transformers are for electronics. I just ordered this step up converter from Amazon.

Great stuff, I ended up buying https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004MPR3XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which seems to be running ok. The motor doesn't sound like it's going too crazy!

I did initially think it didn't work, because the bushes were seized due to old coffee, so I had to clean it all our first!

You need to get a voltage converter that can handle the 330W your charger pulls (something like this) or to get a new charger that works on 120V/60Hz.

Aight someone has to say it, You dun fucked up.

Like you dun fucked up when you started digging that hole and now you're halfway to china dun fucked up.

​

All the wiz product sheets for E14 bulbs i can find are for 220-240Volt power.

​

EU uses 220 volt power, USA uses 110 volts.

​

Now i know you're over here wondering, "Can't i just run two wires to it? Double!"

​

Computer says no, If you want to keep digging then you need something like this between the fixture and american power: https://www.amazon.com/Simran-AC-500-Voltage-Converter-Transformer/dp/B004MPR3XQ/

Okay well I figured i would be able to buy something like this on amazon and it literally be plug and play. Youtube video shows it in use.

Check this out on Amazon

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004MPR3XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is what I grabbed.

I would be safe and just get a step up/step down transformer like AC-500 110 to 220 Voltage Power Converter Step up Down Transformer, 500 Watt

Mostly because I do not trust other countries brown outs and power surges that hit without warning. It’s $38 bucks for safe power transform.

That's about right. Unfortunately, what you're looking for is a commercial grade UPS - 220v to 110v is not something you normally need in a residential environment.

How about something like this?

Genius idea. How about these? No special wiring should be required.
