Bought to go with my wife's new KitchenAid from the US, it just works. If you need a high watt motor supported this will do the trick.

Used this for Kitchen Aid food mixer from USA, works perfectly. Not unsightly and although it is quite heavy it is also very quiet.

I recieved this a few weeks back, but I don't live in the UK, so I tried to use a travel adapter for the plug - UK to Europe. This didn't work, the traveladapter broke down after one use (I use this transformer for my Japanese rice cooker), so my dad changed the plug, and now it works perfectly! :D

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what I hoped it would........and 'Made in England'.....always a bonus!!, 11 Aug 2012

I've just returned from the United States, bringing with me a few appliances. In particular, this unit was bought for my juicer...the Waring JE2000. After several 'sessions', I can happily report the Tacima unit works very well....no heat or noise from the unit whatsoever.
'Made in England' also implies a certain level of manufacturing quality...the unit is very well made, with a small footprint and a reassuring solid feel / weight to it.
I've bought two units so far....money well spent!

I purchased this transformer in order to use a Kitchenaid mixer I bought in Canada and wanted to use in the UK.
The product is very simple to set up and works perfectly.

I've bought one similar to this that broke after about 6 months of use (just using a hair straightener every couple days, and about twice a month a PS2). I decided to buy this one, since it was the same company as my last transformer, but I used it for about 5 seconds before it turned off and it won't turn on again, no matter which outlet I use in my house.

This step down transformer is far more attractive than similar products and performs as advertised. I would recommend it to you.

I brought another transformer with me from the U.S. to use in Europe with my US audio components. It worked, but made an audible hum that could be heard when the music was not playing. It sounded a lot like an ungrounded turntable. So, I bought this product. So far it has been very effective with my cd player and turntable and totally silent. An excellent upgrade for me. I haven't yet tried it with a more demanding high-powered amplifier. But with these lower powered components it has been perfect. Recommended.

This is the best I ever purchased. No noise, no getting hot, no waste while not in use.

I had at least 5 different converters. I moved 4 times from countries and there are some things that you prefer not to leave behind, specially those you learn on time you won't have available in the other country. Have old converter with 20 years whick works fine but makes this noise of all solenoid stuff, another recent one that works good but makes a bit of noise and always waste electricity while not in use.

This is only 200V to 110V (one way) but is great to feel worry free with this converter.

I recently moved to England and brought a TV from the US. The Tacima Stepdown transformer has been powering it for months. The device is heavy and solidly constructed and left me with confidence that it would not damage expensive electrical devices.
