Default is it possible? 1600W step-down transformer so tiny!

Hi,

I've recently moved to London in the UK and brought along my trusty cooker.
It states that it requires 120V @60/1235 watts. After some research on the
net it was apparant that transformers that provide 1000W are at least the
size of a shoebox and around $70-100. However, I later came across a
transformer sold by jWin which rates upto 1600W and is as small as an
average 100w transformer and costs about $10. You can see it here -
http://tinyurl.com/hra3r I called the shop selling them and they confirmed
the specs.... am I wasting my time? You get what you pay for right? Any help
would be much appreciated.

James
