Good product, but wrong label on device.
Only got it today, but appears to operate as advertised. Easy to use and multi-voltage. My only beef, is that the product has a label that says 110 volts input, but the manual and product page indicates multi-voltage. Normally, I would assume the product label was correct, and the manual was wrong, or was written to encompass multiple products with different specifications. Since the product page indicated multi-voltage, I rolled the dice and plugged it into my 220 volt outlet. It is definitely mutli-voltage. Works fine off of 220 volt input. You just need to change the default overload indication from 1800 to 3500 watts(220 volts X16 amps=3520 wats).
Also, under technical details(versus technical "specification") it also incorrectly indicates product as being for 115 volts. Even in the areas where it correctly identifies it as multi-voltage(110-240volts 50/60hz), it doesn't bother to list the maximum power if using 220 volts input versus 110 volts input. Power(wattage)=Voltage X Amperage. The power handling for 220 volts is double the power handling if using 110 volts. This could be confusing for those unlike me, who have been an electronic technician for 30+ years, and consider this basic knowledge.
