This is my take on the daily vlog concept.
Everyday I upload a 4 minute vlog, shot 4 minutes after the day before.
There’s no editing, no re-takes and no music over-dubs and they always finish right on the 4 minute mark, no exceptions.

Thanks for this. Exactly the info I needed.

Hello, I have a question for you. If I'm in the US and purchsed a radio from overseas that is 240V, do I place the switch on the converter (like yours) to the 117v instead of the 230v? Thanks
is that what i need to stepdown our 220v outlets here in the philippines so i can use my 120v ac only black decker buffing machine. Should i also switch it in 230v to the right?
What was that black converter called that made it into an aus plug? Did it come with that or did you buy it separately.
Nice, just what I needed, thanks very much 👍
No problem 👍
Can I use a rice cooker bought in Australia to use in Japan with this transformer. What side should I change the switch to. Rice cooker in Australia is 240v and Japan is 100v. Appreciate if you can help.
Cheers mate. Mine didn’t have the additional instructions. Didn’t know if the switch should be what you have or what you want!
Pleasure man! Can be a bit tricky that's for sure!
Hey man thx for the video! I was just wondering; I have electric toothbrush and trimmer bought from turkey. They are all rechargable devices and the chargers for all run on 220-240v. So do you think i can use my devices and charge them with this converter in US?
I cannot say with any certainty, but it seems like that would work.
Thanks for the vid,I was just wondering how many watts is the equipment you are powering from that converter?i was thinking of purchasing one from eBay for a heater element that is 400 watts,would that unit you have work?thanks
Thanks mate. Sorry, I don't have the Tape2PC unit any longer to verify that for you :(
I was wondering the same thing as I have something 120 watts and the packaging says 100 watts max so I am thinking 400 probably not but maybe 120 is close enough?
SO MUCH thanks for you . i didnot know how to use mine that ithink were bought in like 1999, you tought me
Glad I could help!
Hi Giveusaminute!! This seems what I'm looking for without success on Amazon.
I moved from Italy to Canada and I need a step down voltage converter for my TV and a couple of kitchen appliances. Therefore from 220-240V to 110V. Can you confirm this fits my needs? Is It still working ok?
Many thanks!!!
Thanks Giuseppe Fiorella :) It does indeed sound like this is what you need!! Mine has been working fine since making this video right up until I sold both the Tape2PC device I was using it with and the convertor itself. Hope you get the same success I did!!
THANK YOU!
Welcome!
Thanks! Heading to United Kingdom in the summer. Just got my converter from Amazon today.
Have fun!
thanks for review
My pleasure black sniper :)
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
My home in Singapore run a 220v and i have a 110/120 v soldering gun, using this plug which mode do i need to switch. Thanks in advance
You would switch it to whatever the voltage you soldering gun requires.
I have about 3 equipments with 120 input. Can i plug it all in an extension socket and just use one stepdown transformer at the end? Will it convert all the input?
My instinct would say to not do that, but I have no experience trying it.
Hey Guy, good video... like others I'm in the same situation as you... bought a sound bar from Amazon ( 110 V at 27 watt) and I living in Thailand (220 V)... sure understand all.... But, I am concerned with and my question is.... Is this little travel converter.... have you had any problems with "Continuous Use"... plug it in and forget it..?? 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week / 52 weeks a year.... have you had any problems...???
Hey Russell, I cannot comment to extended use cases. For me, it's only been used every now and then when I need to digitise some cassettes. Unfortunately I cannot offer any guidance on long term use.
Not suppose to continually use and unplug when finished.....
good to see you got it sorted! have you started converting tapes yet?
Yeah, did my first one yesterday - works really well actually! (eventually! lol)
The high pitched sound occurs because you're running a device that runs at 60hz on 50hz if you're curious. For weaker appliances it's usually not an issue. One thing I didn't see in your video or comments is that you need to compare the required wattage of the appliance to the supplied wattage of the converter. These devices aren't magic and when misused are a fire hazard; you're lucky you happened to use it with something mostly compatible. It's a safety concern the way you're recommending it without covering these things.
Thanks Jared. I appreciate you stepping in with these tips that I previously did not have any knowledge of. It's interesting that in the documentation shipped with the product there is no mention of what you have said. It also should be noted that I have used the converter along with the Tape2PC for over a year now with zero problem.
Do not use any of these on any appliances that get hot. Toaster, coffee maker, etc. The converter will fry as well.
@@user-zl9vi8oc5dI use for hot curler iron....220 to 110
@jtrigging hi Jared, can i use this for more than 12 hours with led bulbs without problems? The watt is low (total of 20watt) but here in egypt 220v and bulbs from usa are 120v
Thanks in advance
I need to know where I can get a converter to step down 240 IN Australia to 110 to run American Hair tools which have a max wattage of 500 Watts.
There's got to be plenty out there in the market for this requirement, just make sure you pick up the right one for your needs. For me, this one worked perfectly.

Australian phase to neutral is 220 or 240? Those little transformers are nice for very low current use. I built a power supply that is about 30kw in both step up and down mode. (It's huge and expensive).
I hope it works for you!
@@GivesAMinute Thank you very much! It works extremely well! Fridges and even ac units can be ran off of my power supply I built.
nice!!! i need this for philippines for all my power tools..
Good luck!

Sometimes the simple thanks are the best.
Sorry simple things
And the hardest to come by! :)
Thanks buddy,ava great arvo
Cheers man
So basically, this converter can down 220 v to 110 & 100 v ? Cuz my home electricity is 220v & i bought a japanese console that saying in the back 100v :/!
Yep, but make sure you read the instructions first!
So my countrys standard voltage is 220v and i would like to use a 120v appliance, where should i place the switch on the back?
I cannot be sure mate, it's been a few years since I made this video and I no longer have the device.
230V
If I I buy a pc from amazon and my
house have 220/240 v i can buy the pc or no pleas answer i put it in 117 or 230
North amirca operates 110/120 and my country operates 220/240 volts if I buy the transformer what to do
That's exactly what I bought the device for and it worked for me mate :)
Kuwait -iNop check out PLYE converters, just bought 1on eBay, received and high quality
110 step. Tow 240 v tow face.
hi dear, does this step down bring it down to 110 or 100v. hear that Japanese appliances use 100v and 110v may overheat or even spoil them? thanks
From my experience 110 and 100 are more or less the same and there is no danger in using either. But no, this device does not have both 100 and 110.
ok thank you for yr reply dear
My pleasure! :)
I'm trying to use a European appliance in the USA, this should do the trick?
Make and install US 220V outlet (US horizontal flat pin) and still uses 60Hz.
Royal Caribbean cruise ships uses 230V at 60Hz (Euro outlet) and 120V 60Hz on US outlet.
Will this work with my Yamaha MG10XUF audio mixer?
Not 100% sure mate.
I have the same product and is not working in a small water heater.... Do the light in front turns on when you plugged it in??? Thanks for your response
Hey katty, I answered your question (and took a photo for you) over on the Community Tab on my channel. :)
GivesAMinute Thank you so very much!!!!
My pleasure :)
For heavy appliances, ones with motors, or ones that have a heating element (water heaters, heaters, hair dryers, the like), use a step down transformer more heavy duty than the one he uses. What he uses is fine for non-heavy duty appliances, but for anything else (including continuous use) PLEASE use a higher duty step-down transformer that not only does the 240 to 110... but will also have an impact of the 50/60 hz. Otherwise it will, at the minimum just not work, but will more than like immediately burn out any circuits and the motor... and could even catch fire.
@@GivesAMinutecheck watts....use half of the watts the converter puts out goes up to....
Good review mate. i have got a similar question most people have asked already though i have received Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner - FH51200 US version with 120v, 60hz with 10.0A. will this step down transformer would work on 220/240v here in Australia. As i dont want to buy big 200 to 500W stabiliser like step down transformers. think this will be more convenient. would you recommend this or i had to resort myself in buying bulky transformers.
Thanks YanZZah :) Yeah mate, I'd say that's exactly the same scenario I have with my Tape2Pc unit. It's a US version and with the transformer I used in the video I am still running the machine no problems :)
thanks for the help, think i have to jump on ebay and buy the similar item then. glad that you are awake at this time to reply to the comment, much appreciated.
My pleasure man, glad I could be of help! And yeah, I'm up late - I'm in Vanuatu editing my vlog from today :)
Is this okay to use on my 110 volts 25 watts amplifier?
I don't want to be the one to tell you so. But I used it.
I ordered 110v audio system 5.1. Total 800watt receiver and subwoofer. May I use it for 800watt?
I can't speak for your device, but mine worked flawlessly with the Tape2PC device for about 3 years until I sold it and the convertor.
It id written on it 100 watts max. If you look closely. So I dont thinks so.
I purchased a tv an estate sale. It is from Germany and has a two round prong plug that says 250v. How do I plug it in here in Canada? Any help you could give me would be so appreciated.
What's Canada's voltage? You may need the device I have in this video (but you should check the required voltage first).
GivesAMinute 120V 60Hz.
How about your TV from Germany? Is it multivoltage (90-260V)? And it works both PAL and NTSC?
Roxy Hunter need an adapter?
Thanks Francis. :) Roxy, it looks like Francis may be able to help you out :) Cheers fellas!
TVs sold in South Korea has two round plug with bottom and top live metal connector. South Korean TV uses NTSC-M and ATSC.
i got blow dryer with UK plug and I want to get an adapter for 110v will my blow dryer work or not?
I am not sure, I've never tried it with a blow dryer.
@@GivesAMinute nobody did but my stupid ass got UK plug instead of US, but I found a thing that does like 220v to 110v hopefully it will work if not then I will just return the item
Helllo again, you were so nice helping the first time, that I decided to ask you again, if i don’t bother you too much pls!!!, i got the new transformer and i don’t understand those instructions, if I have 110 on the wall, the switch should be in the 117? Thank you for the response!!!
Yeah, thats correct katty, 110 on the wall the switch will need to be in the 117 direction :)
GivesAMinute thank you sooo much!!!!!
My pleasure katty!! Happy to help out :)
Need a European adapter for 127 Volt outlets in Brazil.
katty Acuna Brazil uses 127V in Rio and 220V in Northeastern Brazil areas.
did you figure out where the hum was coming from?
mine has became crazy and not covert from 240V to 110V. but still in 230V I mean when I plug it to 220V the output still the same 220V After someone in my house use it whit a rice coocker I ask electrician and they told me I can ONLY use this converter with devices LOWER than the wattage of my converter. Mine was 80Watts maximun and rice cooker has 700 Watts !!
Sorry to hear this mate!! Mine worked flawlessly until I sold it a couple years later with the TAPE2PC.
I am desperate to know how I can best achieve this in Australia, so I will not burn up my Hair Styling tools. The tools I have , One is heated and says 110-220 V 50/60Hz 200 Watt (1 minute) then 45Watt steady. IT heats to a certain degree and then holds that temp as you use it. It is a crimper.
The other is a rotating curler that can use heat or cool and it says 125V 60 Hz 500 W Watt. It is a Conair. I do not wish to haul around a 20 pound device while I am trying to enjoy my trip to Sydney, Cairns and Melbourne but I may have to. I burned up my hair curling device the first day I arrived in Rome with the hotel people plugging in my devices and assuring me they would be fine. All worked well but the Heated curling brush which immediately fried and blew the breaker to the whole floor of the Hotel.
There's got to be plenty out there in the market for this requirement, just make sure you pick up the right one for your needs. For me, this one worked perfectly.
Thanks Philip :) Cheers for that tip mate!
Hi there!
Just wanna ask. Is the thing still runs well? Cuz it's hard to believe that something this small can convert 220v to 110v!
I've been using it on and off for the last 2 years with no issues Shu.
@@GivesAMinute
Thanks, mate. I was a bit hesitant to get one.
I just wish that bloody Amazon in America give you the option to choose what kind of plug you want. Always send me 110v US plugs. It's just so frustrating.
@@shuouma3327 Oh yeah, that really sucks!! A simple checkbox during checkout would resolve that issue easily!!
@@shuouma3327and we always get china plugs....lol
I have a spin brush dryer but its 220 how do i know this attachment is a converter not just an adapter? Its from China...
It's a step down convertor Deanne :)

Hi GivesAMinute today I saw you in Jannali going to Woolworths. I was the person with a Star Wars hat on waiting for a bus.
Oh hey man!! I didn't see you! I probably had my headphones on?
You did.
Can't travel without them! :)
my PS4 step down transformer gets too hot quickly... please guide
As far as I understood, getting hot is normal for all of these devices.
Hi
Am an expat living in Malaysia . Just ordered few kitchen appliances, including blender , juicer , slow cooker , they all have 120 Volt in label , and here in Malaysia th actual voltage is 240 volt/50/60Htz , would you advice this gadget ?
Thank you
Hi Abamor :) That sound like the exact same scenario I had and it worked for me :)
Quit interesting ! I read that heavy appliances like blenders and juicers may need a heavy transformer , have you ever Tried to use a us blenders pr Mixers using your actual transformer , Thanks indeed
Nah mate, never tried anything other than the Tape2PC. Over a year later this thing is still working like a charm :)
How bad is the hum? Does it produce burnt plastic smell?
It's a soft almost distant hum with no scent.
What was the voltage in your wall anyway? 220?
240V 50Hz in Australia
Type I outlet (neutral and live at the top, earth pon at the bottom. China still used upside down Aussie outlet that ground pin should be at the top
Tickety-boo, indeed! 💪🏆
💪🏆
Will I be able to use this on a dryer ?
You may.
NO. A dryer needs at least 1000 watts. The one he is showing handles only 100 watts if you watch again. There are others rated 2000 watts. I got one for 15 dollars in a local store in Toronto.
Exactly what I was looking for. In my case I have to replace a power board on my printer which is 110 and only 220 exist. All I would probably need now is to get the right cord to plug into the Transformer to the printer
There ya go! Thanks Chris. Good to know I could have been of help :)
is that ikea furniture you got at home?
Yeah Sarah :) Ikea for the win!
i have some questions, does it heat up ? is it still working ? and finally do you recommend it ?
No real heat to note. I've sold it about 2 months ago along with the Tape 2PC and yes, I would totally recommend it!! Link in description if you are thinking of buying :)
just like that, I bought it, it burned out in a minute. I studied about converters, there is needed more likely a cooler so as not to jump in voltage or not to burn out so quickly. .
lan irse what did u plug bro?
@@FightNightClip power tool charger )
lan irse ow, can i ask u a question. So i am from indonesia and i currently living in the US. I brought my pc with me. I bought PSU (power supply) for my PC in Indonesia. 500 watts and 240v and i tried turning my pc on and it wouldnt turn on. So can i just buy a voltage converter transformer or do i have to buy a new US power supply for my pc?
Can I use 108 watt to that or I need a higher watt?
No because this kind of converter is rated at 100 watt, maximum!
get a higher wattage .
thanku, u handsome devil lad

OK, welcome
Was the hum from the converter ?
Yes.
@@GivesAMinute - Thanks. I was going to get one for my daughters Salt lamp. But the hum would ruin the ambiance. Oh well, Back to the drawing board.
What voltage is your wall socket mate?
240v
And your connecting a 110v tv?
@@waragd TV?
I mean you're connecting a 110v appliance?
Will it work with air purifiers ?
I don't see why not!
GivesAMinute thanks some convert works with electric product and can’t work with electronics products like air purifier which what I intent to use
Yeah but I need around 200 wats of output power that thing goes only up to 100 wats
Then this one might not be the best option for you man.
What about the frequency 50Hz to 60Hz. If you did not check that, your software is gonna work but not long.
I didn't check it and the hardware (software?) has been working flawlessly for 2 years until I sold it (including this converter), but cheers for your thoughts.
Howabout the hz? Can ur 60hz work on 50hz?
I'm not 100% certain about the hz, but the Voltage is certainly compatible.
Ok nice update!
Thanks Viona :)
Is 50 HZ not 60HZ like in the USA. Is absolutely rubbish unless you will have 220V60HZ from your power socket than will convert to 117V 60HZ. It depends on your frequency from your power it will convert voltage, not frequency.

Mine just exploded :( could it have been faulty?
Exploded? Like "went bang" or just stopped working? Got the receipt?
@@GivesAMinute exploded as in something inside the thing exploded (a fuse maybe?) and smoke started to come out of it. Got it from Amazon a few weeks ago. I set the switch to 220 (bc in Argentina our outlets are 220v) it happened as soon as I connected it to the wall, I didn't even connect anything else (like any appliance/hardware)
2:40 China uses American 2 pin plug (non polarized) and 3 pin Australian 3 pin plug.
Thanks :)
100 whole watts! Wow!
I need at least 2500 watts.
Hey its 220v to 120v Canadian change your mind all good.
Your changes must be working already Benon. I’ve subscribed to your channel for over 2 years now but you were never placed on my recommendation list on TH-cam. Even though I watch you every day! This video was front and center this morning. Thought I’d let you know. And I never get tech video suggestions
That's really interesting. It could also be (heaven forbid they know this) all the trolls interacting on the channel too tho. That increases everything for me despite them wanting to achieve that goal!
Where are you? Try it with xbox one
Are you asking me to do this?
@@GivesAMinute I guess it's more of a does it work with xbox one. I'm in china right now and my PSU blew up
I don't have one to try it with, but the Tape2Pc is still going strong.
This would be no good for my stereo receiver as it needs 280w 60kz
Yeah that wouldn't be what you need mate.
Build a little inverter with an ardunio that will get it going
the humm is due to the lack of ground wire
Thanks man. That actually makes sense. Cheers for clearing that up :)
you can get rid of the hum by grounding the amp
with additional ground cable diy

easy to make
For what I need and how much I use it I don't think I will bother, but cheers for the tip Mechanics DIY :)
Thnks nice video bought a Krups kettle(thought it would be switchable) as it was being sold outside US, thru Amazon not for cost saving just thought a better buy than the "china"made Australian brand kettles that don't last even the warranty period, only to find its made in China!But the transformer for this product would be US65-$90 to match wattage/amp output &the size of two house bricks, no cheap solution here bin it start again back to the junk,Thanks Amazon....
I'd say you are not the only one to have made that mistake John! Never again lol :)
So your device was 220 v or so then you wanted to use it with 110v? Was it the situation?
Yes.
I guess you get what you pay for ... you buy cheap, you get cheap ... just bought PYLE converter on eBay, received and the highest quality ...!!!
This has worked flawlessly for me for the last year, so I am content :) Glad you are happy with your purchase too Russell :)
Never use that to a elevtroc stove iron or oven
I used it for a tape player.
Your electronics are going to blow. The converter you are using are design for small stuff. Theconverter you are cant support all those electronic wattage!
It's been running for over a year so far... when can I expect the blow to happen HHO?
GivesAMinute From what i see you have a converter not a transformer. Converters are not supposed to support that much wattage. The wattage you need will be from a transformer. Youre lucky it hasnt blown!
Still running now mate :) Will let you know when it blows!
GivesAMinute Hows the converter?
It did not work from a portable washing machine from China (220v) to USA (110v) it worked for less than a minute...
Forgot to say that it’s a 220 water heater and I am in Canada
I used (in 240V Australia) a 150 W version on a 125 Watt rated electric knife sharpener from the USA. Within 10 mins, the transformer got very hot and started smoking, and the trip switch on my household circuit board shut that circuit down. The transformer is still hot and its innards seem to move around in its casing. It is going straight in the bin. My life is worth more than $25. Device is complete rubbish. Keep your money for a better one and stay alive.
230V is in Europe.
Warning!!! If it says it’s rated at 100watts it’s actually 10watts... if 150 it’s 15watts, if 300watts it’s 30watts. Have ran a load test on these things and it will NOT sustain it’s so called rating without a meltdown. Be warned!!!
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS VOLTAGE CONVERTER CAN BE LETHAL! The output socket is not isolated from the input mains (it is an autotransformer), and there is provision for a 3 pin plug to plug into it but there is no earth to the mains! This means that non-double insulated appliances can be plugged into this device but not be earthed, with the potential of a lethal electric shock should a fault develop in the appliance, and possibly even if there is no fault because the socket disregards polarity protection for polarised US style plugs on US equipment that that connects mains to the appliance chassis. The best thing you can do with this device is to throw it in the bin and get an approved device. Definitely do not use this device with a 3 pinned (i.e. with an earth pin) device!
Hello sir please can you help me choice/ build a good transformer converter for a USA air dryer i need to import it to Italy for my business, kindly let me know if we can collaborate. Best regards Andrea
Ghhv
I have no idea what this means.
you only have 4 minutes to expla-
Yep, 4 minutes for the daily vlog :)
100W is nothing.
I'm not sure why you would say this James? What is your point?
All the reviews on amazon say it overheats and can burn your house down!!!! I get that you are probably trying to make money off affiliate marketing but that's morally wrong given the reviews
Skyler I am not selling the product either directly or through Amazon affiliates, but cheers for your thoughts. Also, to present a different angle to those reviews I have been using this product with no problems right from the time this video went live. Just be aware: your experience may differ.
Its wrong
Please. Do the opposite.
No
It's the most untrustworthy and dangerous looking device I've ever seen. Why? It claims to be 70W but the coil is literally half the size of the legite 40W transformer I have so I'd be surprised if it could deliver more than 20W and then the device claims it has some protections and fuse - nada - there is absolutely nothing inside other than the coil and the plugs themselves...
It worked flawlessly for me for years.
@@GivesAMinute I'll give it a try then, I'll give it some load, if it burns then too bad, if it doesn't then I'll buy more :D
@@GivesAMinute apparently my intuition was correct, it went with the smoke after 15 minutes of continous 25W load, 25W is like nothing... :/ (I've used a current tester) Either yours was made before they started faking it or your device dravs so little power that it's still enough to run it :D In the end, garbage, scummy device
@@give_me_my_nick_back I was powering a tape deck with mine with no problems for a few years. Sorry yours isn't working out for you.
I bought the same, it's made in China and worked for 2-3 months only .. I don't recommend this shit
Mine worked for as long as I needed it for.
