Mobility International USA (MIUSA) recommends using a converter that is rated at least 50 percent higher than needed. For example, use a 350-watt converter or higher for a 220-watt device. To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for chargers of tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. Travel adapters from Amazon.

Polarity setting clarified
By Donald M. Shepherd
The previous reviewer is correct, there is an obvious ambiguity in the polarity setting. I bought the predecessor of this unit 25 years ago, and it looks the same. I finally found the owner's manual, and regarding the polarity setting, it just said 'try it on the + setting, and if that does not work, move it to the minus setting.' Not very useful. By experimenting on some appliances I have, I found out what's what. If you set it on +, then the polarity of the CENTER PIN on your appliance should be positive. In other words, the polarity setting switch on the Franzus unit corresponds to the polarity of the center pin. Hope this helps.

Works well
By Bobby
I've been using one of these for a number of years now, first using the 9v battery replacement, then just straight 6v to power a radio. I haven't had any issues with the polarity switch, and I've been impressed with the longevity of it. I also was impressed by the clean power it outputs - I bought a used Casio keyboard and was trying out all the 6v power supplies I could lay my hands on, but they all produced a buzzing except this one. I ended up buying the Casio adapter because the current draw was higher than this is rated, but it was another thing which impressed me. If you want a general purpose power supply, this one is good!

Franzus # BB-333D polarity switch ambiguity
By Amazing user-reviewer
The Franzus model # BB-333D universal AC/DC adaptor/charger was attractive to me because it could take input voltages of 117v or 220v and could provide output voltages of 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 12 volts selectable through a rotary switch. Webstorm free license. However, the usage of the +/- settings on its polarity switch is unclear. When it is set to minus, it is unclear which part of the output jack has the negative polarity.

Franzus 1600 Watt Converter Instructions

My daughter is on a school exchange trip to France. She took her flat iron with her (120V, 32W) and a transformer to use. The flat iron does not have a third prong (for grounding) but has one prong that is wider, which fits into the receptacle of the transformer. My daughter sent me an e-mail that said she thought she had blown out her flat iron there. Later in the day she e-mailed again from a different location and said that the French family was having electrical problems in their home. I have not received any additional e-mails from my daughter in the meantime (two days) and assume it means they are still having electrical problems. My fear is that my daughter somehow caused the electrical problem in the family's home by plugging in her flat iron. Is that possible? Could we have purchased the wrong type of transformer? In one place (on the box) it said it converted 110V to 220-240. Another place (the actual instructions) said 110-120V to 220-240. I really hope we are not responsible for causing a major electrical problem for these people!! Has anyone heard of a similar thing occurring?
