I read your reviews and was concerned. Secondly does your appliance work with UK voltage i.e. 220-240V vs. US 110 or will it need a transformer .

It won't work with 220-240V. And it's not recommended to use the cooker outside of USA.

I don't know the answer to your question. So sorry. I live in the US and use 110. The rice cooker itself is perfect, it would be worth getting what ever adaptor or transformer you need just to have this pot.

It is 120V.Please visit manufacturer website for details.http://www.sunpentown.com/sc3custstcos.html

from what i know, it is designed for use here in the usa which has only 120 volts for these kind of appliances. unless they make a model with 220 volts, don't attempt to use the 110 volt model.

You have to buy the one that says for 220. The transformer is different between 110 and 220.

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.)

Remember this item is 110v and won't work outside the US. Most European countries are 220v the UK and Ireland are 240v. You can't use an adapter and a transformer would be too expensive as they eat up electricity. They have these in other European countries in most hardware and DIY stores like OBI or Hornbach in Germany, Homebase or B and Q in the UK and Ireland.

The transformation ratio is 220/110 = 2 or 240/120 = 2. If your voltage is 230 V, then on the low voltage side you will get 230/2 = 115 V. Most appliances have some tolerance to the input voltage e.g. +- 5%. I would check first the label of the appliance, and if 115 V is within that range, it is safe to use this transformer.

You will need a converter to ensure proper functioning without ruining your appliance. Check with a certified electrician to see what they recommend.

Yes, this transformer will work for your appliance.It converts from 240v/220v/200v to 100v/110v/120v. The 10v difference is within the normal range and is not of an issue.

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.

Hi. you will need a step down transformer to work this equipment on 220. Otherwise will burn.

hi francis, it's universal power supply that switches automatically from 100-240 volts depending on your wall. it has a 2 prong american (or mor accurately japanese plug) but you just need a simple us to uk plug (not the more expensive transformer) Alternatively, you could probably get a 5v (1amp) power suppy at dixons in uk or on amazon uk if you don't want the clutter of a us to uk adapter in your outlet. let me know if you have further questions. i've lived in uk for 9yrs so i know all about getting stuff to work!

Voltage should be OK. You will need an adaptor to covert US type plug to UK and EU type.

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

The AC Adapter reads 100-240v, so it should work fine if you have a simple plug adapter to convert the US 2-prong. Have not used in the UK so YMMV.

100-240v and 50/60 hz is standard on this model.you can just use a converter for the end of the cord to the standard three prong UK plug. No transformer needed.

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for 9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X

my advice is NOT to use a transformer. Currently the VP112 is being marketed in 220V...with inventory in EU and Asia Pacific. Recently at food show in Singapore and there is a stocking distributor.
