On the heater, or on the ebay Step Down / Up Transformer 230V-110V AC
UK-US Voltage Converter 200W 1000W UK?
The transformer. You can tell by the weird €śwaisted€ť shape of the plug.
You can pretty much be sure that anything fitted with one of those is
playing fast and loose with electrical safety.
The heater is
https://www.amazon.com/Optimus-H-411.../dp/B000GG8DTS
so is 300W
I guess it's not technically a fan, it's an infra red heater that is
designed to look a bit like a fan. I don't think it has any fan on there.
Well no, not a fan heater at all. Its a radiant dish heater. Rather more
difficult to source outside America I imagine so if youre really
passionate about keeping it then I guess I can see why you want a
transformer.
Just dont go buying any dodgy Chinese transformers like the one mentioned
earlier.
