Hello - I would like to buy this coffee machinem, but as I live in the UK, I wonder if the plug will be compatible with UK sockets? Many thanks.

Hello, I do not recommend buying that coffee machine at all, mine burnt out after 2 months of careful use. But if you still decide to make the purchase, make sure they send it to you with the right plug (or you get an outlet adapter), and compatible with the power in UK (220 V) versus 110V in USA ( a transformer/adapter will do the job). Good luck!

No, it is not. The plug is 3-pin (2 flat and 1 rounded ground) Type B. Also the power is 120V

The plug is UL-NEMA 5-15 3 pin type so you need a adapter to convert it to BS1363 type.

Hi. You would need an adaptor. However, it is worth it. Makes very good espresso and is nice looking.

I do not know if the plug is compatible. I expect you could get an adapter. This coffee pot is used every day and is one of the best we've had.

Mate; not sure what a UK socket is(should have paid more attention that one time in London...), so I'll go about it by saying the plug has 3 prongs: two flat blades and a third round one. The coffee machine works well and quickly.

The bottom of the heating unit reads 120v 400watt ac only. The cord has a 3 prong plug with one the prongs being the ground. Not sure if this helps you. You could try contacting the company for that info too. Their website is http://www.aroma-housewares.com/kitchen/appliances/customer-service.html. Their phone number is 800-276-6286. We love the coffee maker.

I recommend you do not buy it. Six weeks after I bought it the handle cam off.

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

if I buy this coffee machine to spent in u.s.a the voltage is surely 110 voltage? I must to buy in what Amazon country in Italy, U.K. or where? thank you.

I used the item in Cyprus which uses the same plus as england and i blew the machine...Twice! I bought two separate machines and since the volatge is different it blew even with a fused extension plug. If your voltage is different to that of the UK, you will have to buy an actual voltage converter where you can manually set the output power. The one i used that you would normally use for an electric shaver will not be enough. Hope this helps.

on mine I use different coffee/ fairly fine grind. the cord I got with the machine was the USA plug outlets. I use it in australia as well wiht different cord. I found that the same cord that is on my computer power sorce works it is the three prong one. the machine I have is 240/110 compatable. I like it but for me it does not make a big enough cup, I need to make two little pots for my cup of coffee.

This transformer will give you 220V power supply from 110V for sure. However you'd better check power consumption of your coffee machine. This transformer is only 100w capacity, so it should be used for appliances that consume less than 100w.

Mine has an American plug. You can probably get an adapter so it works in the UK.

It should enable you to connect the coffee maker to the us type connection but be sure that the machine is designed to operate on 110 volts. The adaptor in question is not a voltage converter. It is simply a plug adaptor.

I don't believe it is. If it 240 compatible, most companies will include the adapter and there wasn't one with this coffee maker.

I bought this coffee maker, and had to return it. The problem is, the plug is designed for a Western European electrical outlet, so you just won't be able to plug it in, in the U.S. (Though obviously you could use it in Europe.) You might think that in this case, you could just have the plug changed, but this might not be safe (?), as the inner wiring voltage requirements might not be the right ones for the U.S.

It will accept plug type from USA, Canada, China, Australia, Japan, Nepal, Hong Kong and every other country you can think of EXCEPT the plug from S. Africa. The Universal input socket is not designed to accept plug from S. Africa. However, this adapter is designed to plug in to S. African Type M socket. Simple!

Hi. I am using it with a coffe (Keurig) machine. It works fine so far. I understand that it will work well for items that are not dependant of a power source 24/7. Meaning that if you use it for short periods of time and then turn off, this will eork for you. At least that has been my experience.

Many thanks for your query. I have no idea - I haven't got the typewriter yet. I know how to use it, but not the technical stuff. I was trying to establish whether this converter would cope with such a presumably powerful typewriter to convert a 2 pin US plug to fit a 3 pin UK plug and convert UK 240 volt current into US 110 volt current, without blowing up the typewriter! I don't want to buy an expensive vintage typewriter for it not to work at all in the UK. Many thanks, Sylvia

They may have a 220V version, but mine is setup with a 110V USA style line plug. Since 110V is less than 220V a simple 220-110V adapter, designed for your particular country, should be quite adequate to power the coffee maker. You can find these on ebay for $3-4 US.

Lionel ang, I don't know a lot about electricity and voltage, but this machine has a standard US plug (similar to a hair dryer). From my experience traveling to many countries, an international power adapter plug would convert this to the UK standard power socket. They can be purchased on amazon from US$3.00 (single country) to around US$15.00 (converting for many countries). If you don't receive an answer from someone more knowledgeable than I, please do a search on the international power adapters and send your question directly to the seller of these adapters. I hope you get confirmation that this would be a fit, as the laminator does a great job. Good luck.

The plug has USA prongs but is endorsed "accepts voltages 100V to 240V and outputs at 7.5v so I would have thought that it should work in the UK if you have a plug adapter, and should not need a transformer. I hope that helps. The batteries also last a very long time. (Sorry for the delay, I was away from home so did not have acces.)

You will need a transformer these machines are designed for US 110 voltage. I believe the UK is 220.
