Will these rice cookers and water heaters work on UK and European power supply?

The power plug supplied with our products depends on the regional website and market from which the product is purchased:

  • Products purchased from our UK website are supplied with a 3-pin UK plug and are configured for the UK electrical supply.

  • Products purchased from our EU website are supplied with an EU Schuko plug and are configured for the relevant European market.

  • Products purchased from our US website are supplied with a US plug and are specifically manufactured for the US electrical supply.

Important: Check the Voltage

Please be aware that rice cookers and other electrical appliances imported from the USA or Japan may be designed for a different electrical supply, typically around 100–120V depending on the market and appliance. These products must not be connected directly to UK or European mains electricity, which operates at a substantially higher voltage. Doing so can damage the appliance and create a serious electrical safety hazard.

=Similarly, UK and European models should not be assumed to be suitable for use in the USA simply by changing the plug.

If you are purchasing a product for use in the USA, please purchase through our US website. Our US-market products are factory manufactured and configured specifically for the US electrical supply and are supplied with the appropriate US plug.

For safety reasons, always ensure that the product's voltage, electrical specification and plug configuration are suitable for the country in which it will be used. A simple plug adapter only changes the physical plug connection; it does not convert the voltage.
