the warning label stating not to be used for 0-49w devices, which would be my laptop, ipad, ipod, camera etc. Have you used this for electronics?

I have not used it at all because it is unfortunately not what I thought it is. I needed a converter, to use electronics from Europe in the US. I'm sorry that I can't help you.

I returned it as soon as I got it. It came in an open plastic bag. I am so sorry but I cannot help you.

Visited Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and used it to charge laptop, camera, and android phones with no problems.

My daughter used this adapter when she was in England. She charged her I phone, laptop, and Ipod. She had then charging overnight and did not have any problems at all. The unit worked very good.

Okay, so I have a powered usb hub, but my computer must be on for this to work. So... I tried out my iPad wall charger - -worked, but fan got a bit noisy so I did some investigating. A normal computer USB puts out much less current than an iPad adapter. The iPhone adapter is closer to the computer output and should be okay. Since there is no way for the fan to regulate how much current is being fed to it, it could possibly burn out with the higher amperage (I am guessing). The iPhone charger is much less and more than adequate for this fan, since it does run well on the USB port alone. Best use - connect to computer. Second best, a phone charger that is close to the rating on the USB port. Okay, so I have a powered usb hub, but my computer must be on for this to work. So...

Any voltage converter will generate heat. This product says it can do less than 35W continuously (plugged in all the time), and up to 50W max if not continuous. So, you will need to check the power consumption on your device. If it's over 50W and the recommendation is no. If it's under 35W then yes. If it's in between, then you need to be careful on how long you have it plugged in.

When I Travel I run A fish Tank pump,500 w heater, Heating pad for the wife, charge her cell phone her I pod sometimes all at one time no problem (cooling fans don't even run)As good as A PURE SINE I don't know what your idea is for a lot of electronics. If you mean A LOT as in A LOT I would say NO.

I had no probs with my iPad and iPhone by plugging them into one of these grounded adapters. You need the adapter to fit into the wall outlet. They do not change the voltage (220) but simply allow you to plug in. You may want to check that your laptop will run on 220volts (most do), but definitely check first!

I'd be worried about 1) heat and 2) dust, neither of which are good for electronics. If you can control those two factors I don't see why not. If not, there may be more rugged units on the market.

I think you're better off asking the manufacturer. Everyone uses these for various devices and frankly, they would know better.

It'll work as a standard 110v adapter I guess will do fine if your laptop charges over a usb, quite not common since laptops come with special power transformer adapter that goes straight to an outlet not via usb but you should know better how your laptop charges.Will do fine as a car or wall traveler and works with smaller devices as cellphones tablets iPods ipads that charges via usb. Really helpful to get rid of two specific chargers for each device thou.

Tripp Lite's website specs say: "UL1449 let through rating 400, 500, 500", so if my understanding of surge protector-related stuff is accurate, this little unit is probably not the best choice for sensitive and/or expensive electronics like computers, TVs, etc... I use mine for cordless phone charging bases and microwave ovens.

I have safely used the 500 watt capacity for lamps, coffee pots, kindle, vaporizer, DVD player, etc but never used it for a laptop.

Never thought it was for any apple devices so cannpt give a good answer.The device certainly works well pugged into my laptop Toshiba old XP computer.Did find a large external harddrive would not work plugged into it.Very happy with the device, good lights for ports and I like the on and off switches.Lawrence E.

Not sure. I used it for phone and iPad and it was great. Ok I'm reading the box and all it says is "not safe for hair dryers, flat irons, or other heat producing appliances." It bills itself as safe for all personal electronics. Hope that helps.

It is only for devices with a micro USB port. The USB on the wire is exclusively for power supply.

This wattage is good for larger items like a UK TV, video machine, amplifier, etc. A smaller, 200W type converter would be ok - always get at least three times more wattage than you need as some items create a power surge when you first turn them on and can trip a transformer out. Hope that's some help.

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.

usb supplies 500mA but iPad consumes more than 500mA. iPad can be charged but very slow. That is why they say it is not "compatible"

No, Not for powering a laptop. It's good for cellular phones, IPads, tablets, etc.
