Krups 10942226574 Ultimate Super Silent 3 in 1 Coffee and Spice Blade Grinder, Dry Herbs, Stainless Steel

Do not cut off USA plug (use a 13A / USA adapter to try it first.You will probably need to return the grinderI'd seen good reviews of this grinder and eagerly awaited it's arrival.Ordered from Amazon UK and grinder was sent from Amazon USA (it stated this would come from the USA on the page).On unpacking, the first thing I noticed was that it had a USA plug. OK, this can be replaced with a UK plug, but it may invalidate the guarantee or return. Luckily I had an adapter handy to try it out.As soon as I switched it on, there was severe arcing and sparking from underneath the grinder. On investigation, I saw that the plate on the grinder stated 120v.There is no mention on the Amazon description that the voltage is 120v instead of the standard 240v. I don't know why Amazon are selling it on their UK site when it can't be used in the UK!

Bought this item to replace smaller Krups grinder I've had for around 15 years and as now broken.The new one came with a two pin plug not compatible for UK use. Also I checked the rating which is on the bottom of the grinder this is 120 volts for use in the US. UKs outlet is 240 Volt.My advise is you do not change the plug or use an adapter to plug this device into a UK socket as their will be a danger of fire or electric shock.

Worked for a fraction of a second. After that, would not switch on at all. Well, it's certainly living up to the promise of being super silent...Previous review:Appropriate plug not includedI haven't been able to use it yet because I'm having to research what kind of adapter to use with it for a UK socket.

Comes with a US plug and US voltage - used an adapter to plug it in and it sparked immediately. Had to return it which cost a lot as there are no UPS drop off points where I live.

Beware. The machine has a US plug and runs at 120v. Do not use in the UK - 240v!
