[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2181980, member: 345386"] Gracie - I don't know how much you paid for the gadget, but there is a lower floor for import charges, so fingers crossed. Please do be careful about a cheapo plug converter. The draw of the gadget is, from memory 1000w, which is quite hefty, so needs a converter to be able to convert to 150-200% of that, to be on the safe side. I can't clearly recall the advised safety margins. (We had very complex dual ring main electricity arrangements a few years ago - nightmare!) Were you stepping down (using a 240v appliance on 110v, it's less of a risk, as it either doesn't work, or if it's, say, a kettle, it just takes ages and ages to come to a boil. Going the other way, taking over 200% of the power required is less predictable and has the potential to be very dangerous. Please be careful. If you paid the equivalent of the $10-15, I'd honestly be inclined to put it down to experience and move on! [/QUOTE]
