Does it say what wattage it needs. Because if its less than 240 it would probs burn out straight away.

yep that should work alongs its 220/240V, make sure tho there maybe a switch like on PC power supply units that you can switch for 110 or 240

also is the seller states it works in uk and then it breaks u are entitled to a refund keep the message that he states it works in uk tho if he refuses get the police or ebay involved

only problem i can see being is its a european plug socket but that can be changed with a uk plug from B&Q but if you do go for this let us know looks gd I'm tempted my self

Yeh seller says it works in the Uk, there are two models one 110v and another at 220v
Think I'll give it a go.
I will let you know if its ok.. as said it would be very handy as curently have 5 different timers and they can be a bit problematic at times.

is it cheap?

Some electrical stuff ive got from China have been a bit dodgey, loose wires buzzing noises etc, so be careful!

Hong Kong was under British rule until mid 97, and as such all their systems, including electrical, were, and still are the same as UK. They use same voltage at the same Hz, and the same plugs and sockets as UK. I was there a few months ago and bought a number of electrical items and they were all great quality at great prices.
