Customers are not happy with the fuses in the transformer. They mention that it blows a fuse, gets burned, and starts smoking. The adaptor is flimsy and sometimes sparks when plugged into the outlet. Customers are mixed on quality, value, performance, and noise.

Pro: This voltage regulator has a nice retro look-and-feel. Perfect to power vintage electronics. The voltage regulator is very quiet, but not completely silent, with an almost inaudible 60Hz hum. The instructions are translated to English with a few typos, which is alright. Just follow the steps described. Beware that the input voltage selector on the back of the unit must be set to the voltage supplied to the unit, which may not be entirely clear from the instructions.
Cons, a minor one but may matter: The AC lead to the unit has a standard European grounded plug. A US-EU converter plug is supplied to power the converter from a US socket. This converter plug has no ground pin, which would have been much better to ensure the unit and output are properly grounded when powered from a grounded US AC socket.

I really like it.. don’t waste money by buying just a step-up / step-down generator.. if the voltage is out of specific of your connected devices, they get damaged..
So a clear buy!!
I bought the item twice, both not good experience.
The first time I bought it, there were scratches, dents on the outside metal box, screws and bolts fallen out of the item, and transformer was dangling inside the metal box! I immediately reported for return due to the item defective, BUT THE VENDOR WILL CHARGE YOU FEES FOR RETURN! They never give you any headup about any fees until you get to the point of return, which is deceiving to customers!
Second time I bought it, the metal box looks better, no vent nor scratches, but THERE ARE STILL FALLEN BOLTS AND SCREWS! When I checked inside, the wires are NOT all wired up properly, transformer loose. I will have to call an electrian to rewire and secure everything.
Overall, this is TRASH. DO NOT BUY THIS! YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!!!!!

Update: In the spirit of running it to failure, I found that the more use these regulators get, the more they "calm down" and do not clatter as much. With this particular model, we use it to run our 110v microwave, crockpot, Instant Pot, toaster, and rice cooker...individually of course.
Longevity: It has been almost 11 months and the clicking clattering has somewhat subsided and these units have not failed. Also, if you have newer line protection circuit breakers in your house, you may find this will trip them upon initially energizing; no load attached. This condition doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make note of it.
Pro Tip: If you are in the market for voltage regulators, be sure to check the wattage on the appliances they will be used with to gauge the correct size needed. Also ensure that when you energize the regulator for initial use, your load is disconnected or turned off; I.e. Power up that crock pot AFTER powering on the regulator. ;)
I have only one cautionary note of interest. Since the transformer is quite heavy, and shipping is quite unpredictable…I would HIGHLY suggest that you take the cover off after pulling it out of the shipping boxes. Reason is to make sure none of the wire connections where worked loose during shipping as you may notice the transformer itself being a bit wobbly/loose. My first Simran AR-4000 had the ground wire completely disconnected from the screw it was under…just from the weight of the transformer moving back and forth during shipping (it’s quite heavy).
