So…
Would this transformer from Amazon work? It’s $177, and there’s others on there up to $500 for the same voltage and I can’t afford $500 for something I’ll only be using for one thing. It seems to have a UK plug already installed, but I do have one of the small wall plug adapters if I needed to use it.
I’m confused since someone said 1800 watts is the max our plugins could use. I’m thinking of it like if it uses 2000 watts, and our wall plugs & breakers/fuses can only support 1800, how could a transformer/inverter make a difference.
Unless it generates extra electricity not supplied by the outlet. I was with the understanding that transformers only had the ability to lower power output, not increase it. Or are you saying it doesn’t need to increase it and that the wall plugs (which to my understanding are only 120 volts) will support 2000 watts fine on their own?
When I heard the max our plugs can handle is 1800 watts the first thing I thought of is hair dryers, which I’ve never seen use more than 1875 watts, so that made sense. So I’m a bit confused. I don’t want to order the transformer, get it set up and turn the vacuum on only to have it trip the breaker.
