Choosing the right Step Down Voltage Converter for your American or Japanese appliance:
Please read these easy tips before purchasing your step down voltage converter to ensure you have chosen the right one for your appliance:
1. When it comes what what size converter I need, We must establish what is the total power draw in watts specified on your 110~120V USA or 100V JAPANESE appliance?
On Most appliances there will be 3 sets of numbers which should be displayed as follows:
“Input 120V 60Hz and either xx Amps or xx Watts” 
If the appliance rating is xx A then please enter the number in the A section of the calculator “above”, this will then show how many watts it is. 
If already marked xx W then you are ready to select from the above table.
2. What is your appliance? Will your appliance be used for a brief period or running continuously? 
All 8ZED Range of step down converters have two power ratings, 1st rating is for 1 hour or less, 2nd power rating is for over an hour or continuously. These are safety power rating parameters to ensure the converter runs cool and lasts many years to come. 
Many users tend to hide the converter away behind appliances or in cupboards (in some cases not allowing adequate airflow) hence to have the safety allowance built in to avoid overheating.
3. Does your appliance have a motor, pump, heating element or compressor?
Appliances including one of these elements may require a larger transformer model than indicated by the power draw specification. These high power surge elements have large start up power requirements. Typically, you should select a transformer 3 to 6 times stated power draw if unsure. Contact Live Support or call 1300 799 455 for further assistance.
Example : However in many cases if your appliance states 120V 60Hz and 6.15A then this will be the max current draw, 120x 6.15 = 738watts , the best matched transformer in this case is the ST-1000 , But if powering for over an hour then select the ST-1500
4. Is your appliance two pin or three pin? 
All 8ZED Step Down Converters have the universal socket to suit all three variables.
Two pin, Two pin Keyed “one pin is thicker” and the Three pin “two flat one round”
5. Why won’t my appliance plug in? 
All 8ZED Stepdown converters are manufactured using high quality pressed metal pin sockets and in the initial instances of usage a slight amount of force will be required to plug your appliance in. 
6. What about the frequency of 60Hz to 50Hz? 
Don’t be alarmed, What this means in regards to your appliance. In cases of motors they will turn 8~10% slower. So in case of fridges the temperature will be slightly higher hence the need to adjust the sensor to the next adjustment.
Whilst many items with speed controls are not affected, Such as sewing machines and most turn tables. In minor cases there are “digital” speed controllers used on turntables which will be affected.
Home AV receivers are mostly immune but in some cases and field studies there are some chipsets that control the Video signal that are affected. One example is Onkyo AV Receivers cannot sync picture to the TV. 
Game Consoles, Please seek further assistance, As each console is different. In some cases a converter cannot be used.
Now for all the cooks, Kitchenaid mixers , All KSM 150 series IE the general ones you will need the ST-500, For all the kitchenaid pro’s you will need the ST-1000.

response was efficient and delivery was prompt. Thank you

The products that were supplied are good. However you do not seem to have a return policy in place. I bought 4 units and wanted to return 3 units but was told this was not possible. Still awaiting a reply on my second email. There is potential for us to use more of your devices but a no return policy would be hard to work with.

Only had this for a short while, but it appears to be running the KitchenAid mixer Pro no worries. When I got it it looked like a good sturdy piece of equipment. Delivery was also very good, arrived in two working days.

jorge said:

Kane said:

Nigel said:

Great - works as expected!!

Seetha said:

you said it'll be delivered in 2 to 3 days but we received the order only 8 days later. when I rang you to follow up your phone office said the delay was with the courier and I had to chase up with them. when I called DHL they said that your company had chosen a low fee option with 7day delivery and if you are offfering 2 day delivery to the customer you should be paying a higher fee to the courier company so the delivery standards are met. Can someone review the delivery time published on your website and perhaps change it so customers are not misled in the future. Many Thanks.
