Nur für110 volt stand nicht in der Beschreibung

site très réactif et honnête, ils m'ont prévenu que mon produit ne fonctionnait qu'en 120 volts et ont proposé de me rembourser si je ne le voulais plus. Reçu très vite. Produit conforme

Unless you have a transformer you can't use it in the UK. It's 110v. I ordered it only to find it no good for our 240v UK electricity supply. Amazon kindly sorted a refund/return.

Heats up very quickly. Impressed

This unit is a very basic unit that is super easy to use and works great. It does melt pewter hot enough to pour. I have several antique "tin solder" molds that were passed down in the family along with a steel ladle. 30 years ago we used a Bunsen burner or propane torch to melt lead. I wanted to use pewter to do the same but not heat up the garage. This unit did the trick. It took about five minutes for the electric heater element to heat the bottom of the crucible up to the pewter melting point. I let it heat another 3 minutes to reach a pouring temp, then steadily filled the molds. My old ladle was always a little shaky, but the Hot Pot 2 has enough heft to it that it was easy to control. As others have mentioned, the cord is a little shorter than what some may need, but worked out well on my bench with a power strip across the back. The unit is rated at 120 VAC. / 500 watts, so for USA but not for 200 volt circuits in Europe and elsewhere. That may account for some reported failures in the EU. Using a transformer or resister in series may work over there. The instructions warn about smoke from oil used during the manufacturing process coming off during the first usage, which did happen for me. However there wasn't much and it was only during the first use. I have not had any smoke after that. Update: This is a very safe, sturdy unit. It was accidentally left on overnight in a workshop. The next day I found it still heated up with a red hot element but no scorch marks on the bench underneath the stand. I learned a lesson on always unplugging the device after use. But the Hot Pot 2 is dependable.
