I have a NuWave oven made in USA 1500w, I live in Italy and our electricity is 220/240, I wanted to know if I can use with this transformer, if you ca

The unit I have has 1600 Watt raging on it. A 1500 watt appliance would be pushing the upper limit.
1367859
Yes, but the 1500 watts is the upper safe limit. Don't be surprised if it overheats if you run the microwave on full power for a significant amount of time.

I initially ordered it. I liked it very much - EXCEPT for the weight. It feels like 5 lbs. So I returned it before I made the trip overseas with it. I then ordered a converter that was a one piece - holds all of the prongs for the different countries & was highly recommended by AAA.

Hi. you will need a step down transformer to work this equipment on 220. Otherwise will burn.

I've never been to Europe, so I am not familiar with a transformer. However it plugs into a standard 120V outlet...so if you use a transformer for a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. I would think you would also need one for this light.

If the NuWave unit is induction operated, there is no reason to believe it would not work. Good luck

You will need to check the wattage and use a 110 to 220 transformer accordingly. Make sure the it supports the W or else it may cause some damage. Hope this helps.

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

YOu really should use a 2500W model. The recommended power of the transformer should be 1.5 time the wattage of the appliance. Be careful with these transformers as they are wired incorrectly and could be dangerous if a fault occurs in your appliance. The manufacturers have wired the fuse and switch onto the neutral wire instead of the live wire. This means if the fuse blows due to a fault, the appliance plugged into it will still be live. The manufacturer also states that these are CE approved. There is now way they would be CE approved with this wiring. I am guessing that this is a false declaration of approval printed on the units by the Chinese manufacturer so as to look the part. YOu really should use a 2500W model.

The coffeemaker I purchased is 110 but you might be able to purchase one that will work on 240v. If not, I am sure you could use it with a transformer. I lived overseas for many years and used a transformer with many of my 110v appliances.

It should but of course the question is how much surge does the mixer draw on start up as motors draw more when they start. You might be safer to go 1000 watts. The other question is since this is likely a European mixer it is designed for 50 Hz (cycles per second) and the US standard is 60 Hz. This transformer does not change the cycles per second and some things are more sensitive to that than others so the best I can honestly tell you not being an expert or knowing your mixer is maybe. Sorry I can not say for sure.

No you can't. All appliances from the U.S. are 120 volts. Check Amazon.co.uk for the 240 volts version

I very much doubt it. It is made for U.S. power which is 110. I think if you want it for use in Italy, you would have to buy it in Europe where they have 220 volts.

No. This is a 120 volt unit made for use in 120 volt countries. You can use a transformer with it.

I am confused. Where are you? USA or India? If you are in the US and want to use this upconverter to supply 220 volts to operate a 1000w food processor I think you will be fine. You might want to look at the surge wattage your processor draws upon startup just to be sure. But my guess is you will be safe because you are using a converter that is rated for twice your needs. That should be a safe cushion.

Hello Ms. Martinez,I haven't used the converter yet but my understanding is it is a step-down transformer (from 220v down to 110v). As far as I know, as long as you are not using an appliance that has a motor in it and within the power rating (watts), then it is okay.I'm not sure it it answers your question.

Any American electrical product needs a transformer to work in Europe. When I lived there, I used one in my kitchen to plug in all of my appliances, even the GE refrigerator I took over with me.

this is a transformer that converts 220vac to 110vac. if using overseas, you will need a adapter to go from the standard US plug to the plug in that foreign country. it has a switch on it that allows you to use it in 15w mode or 1875w mode. I used mine set at 1875 while in Russia and it worked great. Even with my blow dryer.

Not recommended. Women's blow dryer require more than 1000W to operate with heat on. The good ones are on the 2000W range. Once you start blowing with heat you will eventually burn the fuse. You have to use a step up transformer with the appropriate rating. Unfortunately, any step up transformer of 1000W and above I have seen are massive (like 10lbs). By chance I have one 1000W and another 1500W. I use the second for my European expresso machine and works fine. I tried one 1850W blow dryer on both and the difference is noticeable and even in the big one it is not like it used to be in Singapore @ 220V outlet. Bottom line: It is cheaper and easier to have a second 110V blow dryer.
