Plug conversion help, please!

Gary* · 2 Sep 2020 at 17:28

Sister in law has bought a Xiaomi Roborock S5 hoover thingymabob and it's came equipped with a Chinese plug - I've tried a plug converter but it doesn't quite fit. I don't suppose anyone could recommend a converter that could help, please?

(if anyone could tell me how to upload an image :lolnoob: I could supply one)

ps. Happy birthday man

pps. Plug states 6A 250V

Just chop the plug off and fit a uk plug. Or is it some sort of all-in-one power brick type thing?

It's not an all in one plug no, just a two pronged do dah. I did think about doing this but it just seems a bit sketchy.

Wicked, thanks guys.

I'll chop the plug and fit a standard UK and a 3 amp fuse.

If the house burns down, I'll set up a GoFundMe.

Hi, I also bought a roborock s5 that came with 2 prong plug. I was going to use a travel adapter, but then noticed that its just a "figure 8 power cable"

can be bought very cheap

I just used one i already had lying around, been running 1month+ no issues

Asked the sister in law about this, and the Mrs as I haven't seen the thing and you're right, it is a figure of eight - no plug cutting here.

:rolleyes:

Thanks everyone, you can all go home now
