Hi
I am not an electrician and would like to ask the community a question regarding a recently purchased from from the United States.
I purchased a uSqueez leg massager from the USA:
http://www.brookstone.com/osim-usqueez-app-controlled-foot-calf-massager
When returning to the UK, it was plugged via a standard adaptor you can buy (why it would let you do this I really don't know) and when doing so, it work for 3 seconds then a popping sound occurred. I then realised that I needed a step down converter form the USA 110v to the UK 230v. the product was expensive at $299 and it cannot be returned to the USA as it is not covered under warantee.
Does this mean the product is totally useless now or is there a way I can fix this? Not sure if there may be an internal fuse box I could replace, or request a part from the manufacturer and get an electrician to replace? I really hope a fix is available and any recommneded electicians would be most grateful.
Any help would be greatly received. |
