Hi folks,
This is a bit off-topic, but I hope somebody can help. As some of you
know I live in Canada, but I am originally from Germany. Most of my
tools can be switched between 110V/220V input, so that's fine, except
for my soldering station. It is a Weller 40W digital station that I have
had for years and I do not want to buy a new one. The problem: it only
has a 220V input.
So I was looking for a step-up converter, and I was surprised by the
crappy quality of almost everything out there. If you look on Amazon or
Ebay, there are a lot of types very similar to this one here:

Usually around USD 50 with quite a few negative reviews (typically
around 10%) of people saying it eventually almost burned up their house.
Not interested! So I was trying to find something reasonable, which
turned out to be a bit more difficult that I had originally anticipated.
I found these here:

Do you think these are reliable? Or where else can I find something of
decent quality? I am looking for something around 300-400W.
Many thanks and best wishes from Canada
Jens
