Question 1

Looking for something that will work in Brazil.....have no idea what to buy!

Accepted Answer

It *should* work in the parts of Brazil that use 220 volts and use an outlet that is supposed to be compatible with the Europlug, which this unit has. (This assumes you are based in North America.) But as another user noted, Brazil uses both 110 and 220 volts depending on where you go, so it would be best to check with folks in each city you will be visiting. This also assumes that the unit will work. It worked for me the first time I visited Europe, but never again afterwards.

Question 2

i know i cant plug a hair dryer but what about a small flat iron?

Accepted Answer

check the wattage on your flat iron. If it's over 200 W, then definitely not, and even if it's approaching 200W I'd be wary of using it for more than a couple minutes at a time. That being said, if it's like 150W or lower, you're probably fine, and if you're closer but not over you're probably still okay as long as you exercise some caution. My experience is, if it overstresses the converter, it trips some thermal switch that just shuts down the device. Once it cools, it'll be good to go again.

Question 3

Going to South Korea, will this suffice for charging video cameras?

Accepted Answer

Yes at least it worked for mine.

Question 4

xbox slim takes 135 watt , will this work on 220v indian power supply going to xbox ?

Accepted Answer

I do not know. I can only speculate. The wall connector is European. We were in France this summer and it worked flawlessly. I do not know what type of wall connectors are in India. This is a step-down transformer. The output is 110 V. However, most modern devices can run on 220V or 110V. This is normally noted on the 'brick' of the device. First you should make sure that you need a step-down transformer. Our computers did not require this device. I only used it for my electric razor. Generally, motors require a transformer. As for your Xbox, I would check the documentation to see if a transformer is required. I would guess that this device could provide 135 watts. Remember that this is speculation only!
