Does this oven work in the UK or do I need a transformer?

If you go to Ronco, I think you can buy a 220 volt version. However, eBay deals are 110 volt and you would need a transformer. You could ask an electrician if a plug with only one positive line (instead of 2 for 220) could be adapted.

I use it in Canada without transformer. The light is on but just no any steam

It has a UK style plug. It works in the USA with an adapter. It does not need a transformer. I just picked up a cheap adapter from Radio Shack.

No it is not, it is mains operated but it is US, so in england you need a converter for it

You do have to use a transformer or you will ruin the appliance, but I have found, in living overseas and using transformers, that items that produce heat do not work as well with a transformer. For example, our crockpot never got as hot using the transformer. I decided it was not worth transporting these kind of items (heat producing items-crockpots, irons, table top grills, etc) overseas. I don't know what you mean by "how many pounds?". Are you asking how much it weighs?

Clarification: I didn't ask you where you want to use this transformer so the info about London might be useless to you. Basically, this converter kit has worked for me in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada. except London but anywhere else in England.

This is usually not an issue because the half of the kit that needs 24V goes next to your furnace - and it's easy to find the 24V there. If your furnace doesn't have any 24V (?) then no, you'll need a transformer.

Check the voltage on your ac adapter's transformer. If it says like 110-240 volts (or something similar) then you are all set. Just think of your transformer as converting the voltage automatically. The only other thing you need to check for is if you need a plug adapter so that it'd fit in the electrical outlet in England. It'd just be a simple adapter.

Mine is specifically a 110vac unit. Hooking it up to 240vac would smoke it. Without going thru another transformer I do not see it being able to work.

You only need to buy an european plug adapter (for any electrical machine) and you'll be ok because the transformer accepts 240 volt input.

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

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.

Transformer is not needed because it is universal voltage compatible. But you will need an plug adaptor for whichever country you go to.

Transformer will convert 110 volts to 220 volts OR 220 volts to 110 volts. It will not convert Europe 50hz to US 60hz. If the mixer has to have 60 hz, the transformer will not work.

I purchased one from the US to discover that it was only 110 v but have found a reasonably priced transformer does the job. Works well.

If it is an American 220V clothes dryer then you don't need a transformer. All you need to do is have an electrician put in a dual-phase 220V receptacle in place of your single-phase 110V.
