I'm thinking of buying this steriliser but I live in the UK. Would I need to buy a US-UK transformer to use it safely?

I don't know, but I would contact Wabi costomer service to be sure. It is the best sterilization system because of the drying component. I hope that helps. If you need the phone number, let me know and I'll try to get it for you.

I live in the U.S. which is 120v. Seems like it would be no trouble/danger to use a wall converter to achieve the needed 120v. Truly a great steamer. Even does window tint removal with relative ease.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my seller is not shipping me the Japanese transformer as it is designed for 100V AC not our 120V AC. It probably isn't a problem, but I need to supply my own transformer and while I know the voltage and amperage out, I don't know the diameters of the power connector that plugs into the unit. There are a series of different sized power connectors, and it would be nice to get the correct one the first time.

I'm not an electrician but I believe you can use it if you use a universal converter . People who travel to other countries use their appliances along with this converter. The converter is a small pronged adapter that plugs into your UK outlet and you plug the US hair tool into it.

When I lived in England I had a step down transformer which I used to go from 220/240 to 110 volts. They may even sell them on Amazon. However, they are big and heavy and will probably get pretty warm if left on for 8-12 hours?

it's made to be used in the states on a 110. When i lived in Europe, I kept a transformer in the house and used that with all my 110 products. Don't use an adapter...make sure you use a transformer with enough voltage so you don't fry your dryer

Yes, this transformer will work with your sterilizer. You do not need any other adapter plugs.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers).So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for US (Type B) - 3 Pack It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter.

No you will not need a transformer. 220v is what we also have in the USA and the machine can run on 220v. Enjoy your illy! Victoria LA, CA

Sorry, can't anywhere in the manual about UK supply. It takes a 110 volts to work

I use it in Canada without transformer. The light is on but just no any steam

I was raised NOT to plug any electrical appliance into a different voltage outlet. With that knowledge, and if it were me, I'd order the one appropriate for the UK. Sam, I wish you the best of luck on your new USpicy 18W UV light. I LOVE the fantastic, professional, long lasting manicures I get from mine. Sincerely, Lin of Redding, CA

Hi Joohyun,This machine is designed for use in the US, so you will need a transformer.

The voltage rating is 110-230v so you won't need a transformer as long as the voltage for the country you're in falls within that range (most do).

I've never been to Europe, so I am not familiar with a transformer. However it plugs into a standard 120V outlet...so if you use a transformer for a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. I would think you would also need one for this light.

I would not use it without a transformer. Using it without a transformer would most likely burn up the motor.

All you will need is a voltage converter plug for that country which I am sure amazon sells and it will not be a problem. I have a friend in England who uses a converter
