"The device handles power of 220 to 240 volts"

Watts that all about then?

Someone needs an 'ohm study' course in basic electrical units. Power does not equal volts.
This thing lasts for 6-12 months, then dies with the green power light the only thing that works. 100's of people complaining on many forums. And God help you if you have to go through their tech support.
