EU to UK plug adapter

marc69 · 4 Jan 2019 at 14:38

Hi,

Bit of an odd one but I purchased a hoover online but it came with an eu plug (Not mentioned on the listing). The power specifications listed are:

power supply: 220V / 240v - 50 Hz
power: approx. 1200 W

Are all standard eu to uk adapters the same and safe for use with this? Was looking at something like this

Cheers,
Marc

Just cut the EU plug off and put a UK 3 pin on surely?

2 year warranty goes then as well though

I doubt they could void the warranty for chopping the plug off. If it was sold into the UK it should have had a UK plug on it in the first place.

To answer your original question those adapters are fine (assuming it's of decent quality).

Cheers, I'll get one of those then to save the hassle. It's only for an ash hoover that will get light use.
