Unit is well made and quite heavy but sits well in the UK socket. Worked immediately it was all plugged in and connected. No issues at all. This transformer is made in the UK and it’s great to support a British company. Review: Never have I been so happy - I have wanted something like this to work for me for so long that I can't even explain. After years of waiting and hard work, I've finally found what I was looking for and hoped for. For so long too. To begin with I have to say that you need to do your research, not every ps2 will work I think and check the difference in voltages and watts between the UK and USA. Make sure you know what you are doing before you even try otherwise you will feel the stress that I did. I was looking up information about whether you can use an american PS2 in europe and wasn't getting very hopeful answers. Most of them were about chipped PS2's, emulators and then heard all about region locked games. I wasn't getting anywhere and this made me really depressed. I then looked at some converters but didn't really understand how they worked so that was no good for me either. I really didn't want to do emulation but I thought I was left with no other choice. I spent the whole day looking at how to work emulators and it turned into one confusing and distressing video after the other. I finally found one that looked pretty simple and that I was going to do but then I found out that I still couldn't do it. All hope was gone, I thought there was no hope left and had the worst headache ever from all the stress and sadness from it all. It was all turning into a nightmare. I didn't know what to do anymore but I couldn't give up. I decided to use my brain and look into more detail about it all. After finding out about which converters might work, I looked up a few and saw some promising ones but not entirely suitable. Then I found this one. It all looked very promising, it seemed like the exact one that I needed. With the questions I needed answering, what voltages, etc. I brought this and it arrived very quickly but I had to wait another 2 or 3 weeks for my american ps2 to arrive. I didn't get my hopes up too much but it felt so nice to have the most hope and biggest chance of this happening yet. The PS2 arrived and I was excited yet nervous at the same time. I plugged it all in, turned the PS2 on and it came on like normal. I couldn't handle my joy. I literately for the life of me couldn't believe it. I'm still shocked at how well it works, it works like a normal ps2 would without any real issues. When I saw the PS2 menu appear on my TV it felt surreal. Because of this, I now have so many more games to look forward to playing and I feel they will be good games which is exactly why I wanted this so badly. After going through so much stress, sadness and depression it means so much to me that this worked. It's made such a difference mentally as now it will always be in the back of my mind that it worked out in the end. I'm so happy :D Thank you very much. ## Features - For using USA Equipment in the United Kingdom. Use for low powered accessories only - Rated at 50VA (approximately 50 Watts).
