Works well, but understand why you would or wouldn't need a voltage converter
First, let me clear up some misperceptions that I see being posted here:
Smart phones, tablets, laptops, and even battery chargers for digital cameras do not require a voltage converter. All you need is an adapter to plug into a foreign outlet (and it's becoming pretty common for hotels and airports to have universal outlets).
There are few electronic devices that you are likely to travel with that require a voltage converter — and some like a hair drier should not be used with the BESTEK converter.
What I use the converter for is my electric toothbrush which will not work with 220-240. There are universal charging bases, but I was having a hard time ordering one so I just went with this.
I've used the BESTEK on multi-week trips all over the world to keep my toothbrush charged. Never had any problems.
