Great converter and adapter set
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second purchase of this brand and will likely purchase another. Easy to use but a little heavier than others. Wasn't an issue at all.

Works as Advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This converter/adaptor was necessary to run and 're charge all my US electronics during my 3 weeks in England. And in general it worked. However, the examples of which equipment worked on a high setting vs. what to use on a low setting was minimal to almost useless. Yet this was vital to know as running items improperly on the high setting could burn up important valuable equipment. So I ran all my camera, kindle, toothbrush recharging on low even though it seemed to take along time to complete and the charger often got quite warm. For the relatively high price I paid (upwards to $50) I would have thought the company could have provided a more complete set of items for which the High or low settings would be apprpriate.

Works well but is heavy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a voltage transformer, it works well. However, it is a bit heavy, and when it is plugged into the wall using a plug adaptor, plus the plug from your computer or appliance, it tends to fall out of outlet from the weight unless it is supported.

Q: QuestionWhat countries do the included adapters work in?
Asked by Tony.
- A:Answer This Dynex adapter has the flat parallel blades adapter used in parts of North America, South America, the Caribbean, & Japan, the round thin pins which work in Europe, parts of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and South America, the flat angled blades used in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and parts of China, the round thick pins used in Northern Europe, and the 3-prong blades used in Great Britain, Ireland, parts of Africa, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The adapter isn't specified so much for countries as it is for the different types of outlets in the world. I would recommend looking into the type of outlet used in the country you are travelling to and checking to see if it fits any of these adapters. Cheers!

Q: QuestionCan I use this product to charge my iPhone?Can I use this product to charge my iPhone? If so, on which level do I use, low or high?

Q: QuestionUSB Wall ChargerDoes the USB Wall Charger product need to be used with a separate International Converer kit or does the USB Wall Charger kit with the USB actually include the converter for that? I don't want to fry my ipad or iphone and want to make sure I do this correctly in Italy! Help...
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I recently went to Sweden. You should check the charger to be sure, but I believe it accepts 120 VAC (US power supply), as well as other international power supplies (typically 240 VAC). All I needed was the adapter with the two cylindrcal prongs; no transformer needed. The USB wall charger automatically converted it to the correct voltage.

Q: QuestionWill the Dynex 1875 W converter/adapter work with iPads and camera battery chargers? I saw a couple of conflicting answers to similar questions.
Asked by Big.
- A:Answer Look at your IPad charger - or any other charger nameplate for that matter - if it states 'AC 100 - 240V, 50 - 60 HZ' you don't need a converter, just an adapter to go from your plug configuration to the configuration in the country you are going. Most modern electrics and electronics are good for 100 - 240V. An adapter allows the plug to fit, a converter steps the 240 volt down to 120 volt.

Q: QuestionConverter use with flat ironsI am thinking of buying this converter/adapter to use with my single voltage flat iron that is 120V, 60Hz, 50W (US) / 25W (CSA). If it does work with this converter, what setting (high or low) would it use?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It would use the high setting.

Q: QuestionAdapter vs ConverterI know that for my mac and iphone charger, they are the dual voltage (110-240V) and just need the plug adapters included - but I also have a mini flat iron that is 110V and a nintendo ds charger that is 120V. I am pretty sure the mini flat iron is okay with this converter, but I am not sure how the ds charger will do since it would be plugged in for a longer time to charge it. Would this converter be fine?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer If you still need this, get a converter that's both high and low. you need low for electronics and high for things like your flat iron. If you plug your ds into a high, you could mess up the battery or cord. But you will need both the adapter and converter. This answer is probably late since your question was 3 months ago, but I just posted a review and this question came up.

Q: QuestionAdapters only vs with converterJust to be sure I understand correctly, For my iPad, iPhone, camera, & camcorder that say 100-240v and 50/60hz I just use the plug adapters but for my hair dryer I also need to use the converter? Will the items take the same amount of time to charge as they do in the US?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, for the devices rated 100-240v and 50-60 Hz, you just need the adapter. Your hair dryer would need the convertor. The charging time is a tricky question and I can't find an exact answer. It does appear that the Voltage isn't as big an issue as the frequency. The 50 Hz will cause slightly slower charger speeds as compared to 60 Hz, but it shouldn't be much slower.

Q: QuestionUKWill I be able to use this converter/adapter to recharge my samsung tablet and phone in the UK.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, it is very important to make sure that the phone and tablet don't draw more than 25 Watts when charging. From what I have found, most appear to pull around 10 W. You should be OK to use this charger for both the tablet and phone.
