I sometimes hear a low buzzing noise from the converter when it has been running for several hours. I initially thought it was that particular unit, so i switched it, but the new one also had the same issue. But anyway even after a few months of this there doesn't seem to be any bad effects from the buzzing noise, and there's no overheating at all, so it's still 5 stars. And that acts as an alert that I've been watching TV too long! Some have complained that they received busted units, but all the 3 500W units I ordered in Oct.2014 were perfectly fine and intact.
Others have said, and Litefuze themselves also advise this, but it bears repeating. If you plan on using it for more than an hour or so at a time, buy a converter that's at least double the wattage of the combined gadgets you'll be connecting to the converter. So in my case the stuff I'm connecting to the converter are: a TV rated at 142W, a Vizio soundbar rated about 10W, and my home theater at 12W. The math comes to 142+10+12=164W, so I needed one that's at least 164 x 2 = 328W. The closest to this is the 500W converter- it doesn't hurt to have the extra capacity.
A few niggles:
- I dont like the buzzing sound after several hours of use, but it's not loud and doesnt seem to have any more ill effects.
- More serious, I wish the small switch to change the voltage was better hidden or more difficult to access. I have it set to '230V', so it converts my 240V to 120V. But if a bumbling someone were to accidentally change it to the '115V' setting (which is easy to do with the easily accessible switch), then I think what would happen is the 1-to-2 upconversion. So my actual 240V would be output as 480V, frying my electronics almost instantly! [Again, this is just my opinion based on my understanding of how the thing works and I'm no electrician. If this is wrong someone please comment on this post and correct me - I'll alter it immediately].
- The unit itself is quite heavy, about 300-500grams (half a kg). So take that into consideration if you are planning to use it for travel. I dont, so the weight isn't an issue for me.
Overall though, these negatives are still minor enough for it to earn a full 5 stars. Excellent product!
I have been using this new voltage converter continuously for about an hour a day for a week with no problems at all. I like how it has an illuminated on/off switch on the side to turn it off without having to unplug it from the wall outlet. That is a nice feature that saves me from the hassle of unplugging it every time just to turn it off.
Keep in mind though that my portable stereo is only rated by the manufacturer to use 35 W of input power so I am not pushing this voltage converter anywhere near its rated 300 W capacity. Thus, I do not know how well it works when pushed near its limits. My converter is barely breaking a sweat so it does not get warm at all. When I read the negative reviews of this unit, I suspect that many people are trying to draw more power out of than it can provide. All that I know for certain is that I have not experienced any of the problems that those other reviews mentioned.
Overall I am very happy with this unit and it works perfectly for my use. I can now power audio equipment from overseas without any problems.
Update from 12-5-20:
It has been almost a year since I bought this LiteFuze LC-300US voltage converter and it is still working flawlessly to power my Discolite boombox. I liked it so much that I bought another one that is the exact same except that it has the higher 500 Watt power output rating. (That second one is model number LiteFuze LC-500US.) That second unit is also working perfectly and I have no complaints about it.
I included some pictures that I just took this morning of my LiteFuze LC-300US powering my Discolite boombox. I also included a picture showing the Type C plug (sometimes called a "Europlug") on my boombox that plugs directly into the socket on the LC-300US without the need for any kind of plug adapter.
I still stand by my original review and this voltage converter is great!

Needed a 500W transformer but the side of the box says (see pic), "Upto 500W. Max Watt upto 300W. If use continuously do not exceed 150 W". The continuous use being lower than max rated power is quite typical but the statement about max power "Upto 500W. Max Watt upto 300W" is nonsensical - it's 300W transformer in this case. This explains why the weight of my other 500W transformer. Given that most of the weight in a transformer is in the windings (whose thickness determines max power handling), the 1/3 weight actually indicates this might really be not even 300W but more like 150 - 200 W. This jibes with the instruction that "If use continuously do not exceed 150 W". So basically, consider the price/weight in your 'equation' as if this is a 150W device.
Could be fine for lower power use though, it looks like a nice device otherwise. though I would carry a switched-mode powerpack for lower power use since its much lighter and smaller. Switch and construction is solid and convenient (with the socket being up facing; some other transformers with side mounted sockets too close to ground are fiddly with your plugs have cords facing ground)
Power cable is inconvenient the some applications since it is less than 1.5 ft long.
