I bought the kettle but I've forgotten the voltage differs in diff country. How can I get a step down transformer or is there any option as our country voltage is 220volts. However the kettle is only 120volts. Please help.

You would need a step down transformer that can handle at least 1KW (1000W), although to be on the safe side 1500W, as the kettle is rated at 950W. One of these would cost about $60 (http://www.amazon.com/ELC-T-1500-1500-Watt-Converter-Transformer/dp/B00EPWZVEE/) price would vary in other countries but as you can see it takes up a lot of space, is heavy and it won't be splash or waterproof so you run the risk of damaging it or electricution, if you really want to use it (as it is a nice kettle) put the transformer somewhere safe (above and out of the way of the kettle) and use a long extention cable (http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-9-Foot-Heavy-Indoor-Extension/dp/B00066GNWW/).

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

Sorry, I have no idea...am just enjoying using this wonderful kettle - so much better than all those used by my family before ;)

I don't think you need a step-up transformer for it if it runs on 100v. This is for appliances that run on 220v - anything 100-120v should just work in a regular outlet.

This kettle is 950 watts and 120 volts. It continues to brew perfect pots of tea for me. I hope that you can aquire one, as I am sure you will be pleased.

The cord length on my unit is 30 inches (from base to plug). There is a selection switch on the bottom of the kettle that allows you to choose between 110 or 220 volts. I love my little kettle!

Yes, the converter can handle both step up and step down conversion. Therefore if you are taking 220/240V devices to a 110V region or vice versa, US(110V) to Hong Kong (220V), this device is what you need. Bare in mind - you can run all the appliances off of one converter using a multi-plug. To determine the size of the transformer you require, tally all the wattage of the devices you'll be taking with you and multiply this by 2. Therefore, if you'll be using a 1000W microwave and a 500W kettle, and want to use them at the same time, you'll need a 3000W transformer.

you will need a transformer to convert 240v to 120v and you will need to put a Uk plug on itI think you can get transformers on Amazon UkProbably cheaper (higher price in £ but lower shipping cost and no need for transformer) if you buy on Amazon.it where it is called Robot Kayak Clever

I purchased a step down transformer to reduce my countries voltage of 230 down to USA,s 110. It works fine Vince, New zealand

I live in NZ and purchased a step down transformer from Dick Smith. This allows me to run US appliances.

if your wall outlet is a 220V or 240V and you want to use electrical devices that are rated for 120 or 120 volts, you might not need this device. Step down transformers are smaller, and usually cheaper since they half the voltage to your device and convert the unused voltage to heat. Running the device and the transformer depends on the device and it's rated Wattage. However as long as the device is not running 24/7 then you can run the actual transformer 24/7. For instance I use it to plug in my 220V Samsung Multi-function scanner/copier/printer to a 110V wall outlet. The printer and the transformer are on 24/7. However every time I actually print something out, I can hear the coils in the transformer make a sound. Remember besides volts you will need to consider the wattage too. You will need to make sure that your transformer has 2 or preferably 3 times the rated wattage of your device to cater for the spike when you switch on your device each time. (in my case it's each time I print) Amazon will not allow responders to post links so search on google for a voltage converter buying guide. I found one on a website called 220-electronics and I read through that information before deciding to purchase this product.

Dunno but step-down transformers are cheap. I even built a couple in my time,. The fact that the likely use is 220v 50Hz is irrelevant since Hz should not matter.Try import-export houses

the model I have you would have to use the transformer to step it up this is a 110 unit but you might be able to order the correct unit for your voltage needs you have to check with Amazon

What UK appliance are you trying to use here in the USA. You can use any of the Simran AC models like Simran AC-100, Simran AC-200, AC-500, AC-1000 etc depending on the wattage of your appliance. Remember to leave enough margin for power spike while buying a transformer. You may call us at 630-775-1700 and we can help you in deciding the model that you would need.

You will need a transformer for the voltage. We moved here from Europe and are using step-ups for the same purpose. That way our European equipment works here in the USA. I hope that help!

You would have to have a transformer, it did not come with a 220 option. But since it is a German company, the should have that version as Germany is 220. I would recommend ask the company. They answered my question in 4 hrs.

Yes. This kettle works great. Just returned from a trip to tunisia and we had hot coffee every morning. No adaptor needed, simple switch on bottom of unit set to 220. At home in USA, switch to 110 and use the included adaptor plug. Works perfectly.
