electric goods from Canada

Hello

My mum bought me an electric grill from Canada and it states 110V on it. What I can make out it requires 1200w too. I know you can't plug it in into our sockets.

What the best thing to do?

Thanks

    You'd need a step down transformer. 240/250V to 110V. The wattage could be a problem depending on the maximum rating for the transformer.

  • Just had a look on the net for a step down transformer and it looks like it's gonna cost well over £100:eek: .

    I think its best to leave it.
