Hi,
Im thinking of buying an electrical appliance, a homedics massage chair cushion, as they are half the price on US websites. I was wondering if id need a voltage adapter to bring it up to speed with the UK voltage, and if so, any reccomendations on where to get them from?
Many thanks
Paul

The voltage difference is a problem and you will need a transformer. The cost of these goes up with the power requirements. Check the power rating of the cushion and price up to see if it's worth it.
Yet another example of rip-off Britain

Uk uses volts and US uses Watts. You need a converter and a special plug. Our plugs don't fit in your sockets. Better off buying from the Uk.

if its made for use in the US its probably wired for 110 volts.
