Re: [OT] Christmas present voltage help



Simon,

They have this problem on building sites where most power tools are
120 volt. The solution is a yellow box transformer similar to this
one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-3KVA-Transformer-Power-Tools-Heavy/dp/B007WRTKLY/ref=sr_1_30?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1356472555&sr=1-30

The frequency will still be 50 Hz but most equipment can handle that
just fine so I would expect a coffee maker to be OK too.

Nick.
