Check the total wattage consumed by your electrical devices and multiply that number by 3. You need a converter at least 3x the watts of the devices to leave enough room for surges in power they may utilize. To determine the correct wattage allowance of the voltage converter/transformer you need, first identify the wattage of the electronic devices or appliances you plan to use. This information can be found on the manufacturer's label located on the back or bottom of the device or appliance, or in the specifications section of the appliances' owner's manual. Note: Watts may be listed as "W" on your appliance. If you can't find "Watts" or "W" on the label, you may find "Amps," also known as "amperage" or "A". If only the amperage is shown, multiply the input voltage by the amperage to find the wattage. Use the following example as a guide: Volts x Amps = Watts or 110V x 1.5 A = 165W. After totaling the watts of all the devices for use with the transformer, add up the total watts and multiply that number by 3. Review: Great product - Did exactly what it claims to do Review: Singer Featherweight 222K - I bought the 500w model to use with my Singer Featherweight 222K sewing machine. Call me a purist, but I wanted to use the machine as it was originally made and not converted to US power. The instructions say to figure 3x the watts needed, so I got the 500w model. Received item unharmed, read instructions, and plugged it up. Works well. It has a low humming noise, but not noticeable while on the floor in use. I only plug it in when using it, otherwise keep it unplugged. This brand was the only one I found with a good warranty. It may be a few dollars more, but considering the item I'm using it with, it's definitely worth it. Highly recommend to my Facebook friends in the Feathweight group page, as well as anyone looking to use with a precious Featherweight.
