Some of the other Kovac systems have poor reviews because the transformers burn out, does this model have a transformer? If so, any issues?

No it is not a transformer. But one of the globes broke during installation.They said they are replacing...

This model does not have a transformer. No problems. Have not had problems with Kovacs lights that do have transformers either.

No transformer, just straight 110 feed to the fixtures. I've had them up for a while now, and no issues, though they do get very warm/hot when on.

I have had to replace one unit due to power surge from lightining. Assuming your 120vac source is good, (test or have tested by competent persons), open the outer and inner doors and inspect the contacts. If the transformer output is 24vdc, check the circuit board on both sides, (a few phillips screws will remove it from the housing), for signs of over heat or shorting out. If no visible signs exist, contact Orbit customer service http://www.orbitonline.com/contact or 8004886156. They are extremely helpful.

It comes with a solenoid valve and a 24 volt transformer. I used the furnace transformer and did'nt need the supplied transformer.

If by "transformer" you mean the Power Supply, the answer is Yes. The Transformer plugs into the AC plug and a low voltage cable connects from the transformer to the robot. It has an on/off switch on it. I mounted mine in a decorative box near the pool so that the AC cord does not show and I store the whole thing in the box when not in use. The decorative box is Suncast SSW1200 Mocha Resin Wicker 22-Gallon Storage Seat ordered from Amazon. Looks good and fits perfectly.

The compressor is designed to run on 12-volt DC and comes with clamps to attach to a standard 12-volt battery. It works very well, but I don't think you could operate it with a reasonable sized transformer. I suspect the amp load is fairly high. Hope this helps.

The transformer controls the flow of electricity, although in more developed countries this isn't really necessary. I Went to Croatia and my friend was fine with just the converter plug, no transformer.

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

Yes the transformer is included. It's a box in the middle (approximately) of the power cord, rather than the "wall wart" style. Actually it's kinda clunky, but I haven't found anything similar to replace it with.

Yes - the output voltage is 12 VAC (not 12 VDC as a previous answer stated). But one of the other commenters was correct about the min load. When you just hook up the transformer and test the output without a load, it will read zero, or close to it. I thought the product was broken at first, but one I connected the load, all was well. It's been functioning great since (about 5 months ago).

It does have this feature. I ordered two kits. One transformer died within a couple months, the other is fine.

Correct, there is no transformer on the unit. It adds a US-style outlet to the television power cable.

No it has no transformer. 230 V in gives 230 V out. You will need a separate transformer.

Can't answer your question but I can answer a more fundamental one: don't buy this transformer. Mine just burned out after about two weeks of light use.

Yes, no need transformer@@I did heard people say not to turn on turbo mode, i did try it out, it works.But it is for tryout only, i barely use on turbo mode because it dry so quickly and good. No need to be on turbo.Hope this help!!~_~

I think so, because it it has a little plugin so a transformer might work, I bought this one for my granddaughter haven't seen her for a while.

This is my review I posted on these heaters....you will probably need an new transformer/ignitor part #75-025-0100...see my review below I purchased the smaller PT-55-SS Pro Temp Sun Stream version new and within 6 months it needed a new transformer which costs $75 w/shipping and are on a 6 month back order so I purchased another one called a Heat Hog which is the same as the Sun Stream and after running about 3 tanks of kerosene through this one it also had the transformer go out so I waited for my back order transformer to get here and when it did I installed it and once again within 3 months that one failed also...I followed all the instructions which include letting the heater go through its "cool down cycle" when turning it off and before restarting and they still burned out. My old Knipco heater lasted 15+ years with very little maintenance I should have never replaced it with these overpriced throw away models from Pinnacle. No use trying to argue your case with Pinnacle customer service since no matter what it cannot be their fault you must not have been using the heater properly.

I am stationed in England and the transformer they provided from base works. My CHI hasn't failed me yet, just isn't convenient for travel, I don't want to lug a 50 lb transformer with me on every vacation..
