Hello,I am not sure why Amazon referred your question to me. I have jot recently sold or bought this converter. I unfortunately cannot answer your question. I am sorry I cannot be of assistance.

We used this converter last year in Paris & Stockholm and had no issue with our iPhone and iPad. My kid used it this year in France and it worked. No idea as to whether Israel would be a different matter.

Yes, I just used this in London and South Africa for 6 weeks, with no problems at all. Just make sure to bring the correct adapter for the countries you are visiting. I never blew anything, never failed to charge. I just got back September 2015. So to all those that said no, suspect they did not have the right adapter for the country they were in.

You shouldn't need any extra converter aside from what's included in the kit. I didn't have any issues with devices/appliances during my travels. Just make sure your hotel can accommodate the wattage of your device.

My parents were just there in January. They said that all of the more modern hotels or the ones in the tourist areas have American outlets and their iphones and ipad didn't need the converter as they are already set up for 110 and 220. This converter/adapter does have the American plug adapter built in. As for any other outlet in Vietnam, I don't know. My parents said they didn't need it. You should check your devises before going to make sure they can accept 220. If they do and you are staying in more tourist areas, then you may not need anything.

Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area. I think it needs to be updated, but haven't seen anything from Pioneer about that. I might hold off if I were you. My Iphone has a much better, more up-to-date nav system and my car stereo guy says that the new trend in nav systems is to stream from your phone precisely for that reason. Also, if you have an iPHone 5 and want to use the AVIC-D3, the last I heard, they do NOT have a compatible adapter for the Lightning. The Apple adapter works but NOT for charging. At least on my iPad mini. Very disappointed. Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area.

Maria, I already have an adaptor. I thought this subject was already done. So, please drop this subject. I have an adaptor. Thanks for being concern.

I replied to my own post but it never showed up in Amazon (for some reason). I just got back from a trip to Europe and the device had no problem being accepted as part of my carry-on at LAX, Newark and Oslo (both ways). I specifically asked about it in Oslo and their security said "no problem" having it on carry-on luggage. Hopefully this will make it to Amazon.

Short answer is, I don't know for sure. I recently tried bringing just my USB cables for my iPad and iPhone, and with both plugged into the USB ports, had bad luck. In the last few days, I tried the same thing, but with my iPhone plugged in to a USB, my iPad plugged into one A/C outlet and my laptop plugged into another A/C outlet and everything seemed to charge normally. So, part of my goal was leaving behind the iPad cube, but I think I still need it.

Had no problems with mine, did need an adapter in places where the outlets had not been upgraded but the hotels supplied them with no problem.

I traveled to Ireland where many changes have occured but only had one problem (the Waterford factory tour had moved to another location). Sometimes I was driving across open fields but soon joined a road mon the map. No real problems and the device was very helpful.

Yes this device rapidly charges the new iPad Air. Some adapters are rated only for iPhone, and when you connect an iPad it sort of just trickle charges it - takes a long time. Those are usually rated 1 Amp. The iPad Air charger from Apple is rated 2.4 Amp. I bought this Satechi specifically because it was rated 15 Amp. And it will rapidly charge an iPhone, iPad, and a Macbook Pro all at the same time. Plus it has the surge protector. So is perfect travel device. Used it the last 3 weeks in China and Taiwan with no problems.

My EZO wall charger is used with my iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad Mini and iPad Air, so there should be no problem with iPad 4. No need for a converter as it can be used with 110/220 volts. I have used my charger for over 2 years now without needing a surge protector.

Hi Doug, Let me start by saying I am a keyboard player and own several IK Multimedia products. The Total Workstation XL Bundle for PC, Sampletank, iGrand and iLectric Pianos for IOS, and iRig Pre for IOS. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments and I'm very impressed with all of these products. I did try iRig MIDI and here are two issues I found. First; I need to use 2 keyboards in my live setup. I took a standard 5 pin MIDI cable out of one keyboard and into the MIDI input of the second keyboard. I then used the supplied iRig MIDI to MINI plug and connected the iRig MIDI to my iPad. I should have been able to set each keyboard for a different MIDI channel and trigger the sound set up on that MIDI channel in Sampletank for IOS. However, it would only allow me to use one keyboard, or input source, on only one MIDI channel at a time. Using a standard USB 'printer style' cable out of the second keyboard to the iPad Camera Connection kit(plugged into the iPad) solved this problem. I am mentioning this in case you might have two different trigger sources which you need to set to two different MIDI channels. This could be an issue. Which brings me to the second issue; there were supposed to be 2 of the special iRig MIDI to MINI cables which interface with iRig MIDI and 1 USB cable to connect to a USB power supply(which is not included). Problem was that they included 2 USB cables and only 1 special MIDI cable in the box. If I recall correctly there were @ 7 out of 11 reviewers that received the wrong cables, as I did. My best advice is to pick one up and give it a try to see if it will satisfy your needs. But I just wanted you to be aware of a couple of issues which might possibly affect it's overall performance.

I try to use the ipad and tablet for my higher powered devices, but have also used whatever available cord at times. I've not had any issues with "mixing" them up. I many times have a Kindle Fire HDX, Samsung Galaxy phone and the gps charging at the same time and haven't looked at which was plugged in where. They all charged just fine. I gave one to my son for Christmas and they do not have an ipad, but two phones and gps and kindle fire - and it works on any cord for them as well.

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.

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...
