 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello everyone, I have a couple of pairs of these, one for me and one for my wife and have found them to be effective for boots and gloves when the chalet doesn't have ritzy machines. These have been used in France, the voltage at 230v being suitable for the UK, Europe and other countries using this voltage. However we are going to Canada in 4 days time and I haven't hear a peep out of Thermic to advise whether using them on 110/120v is OK but they would just get mildly warm and would thus take longer to dry the boots effectively. Has anyone on here tried them in this situation?
Thanks

They will likely get somewhere less than quarter as warm (assuming a simple resistance) so likely ineffective.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Tykebike, they will be safe to use, but as @Chris_n said they will have approx a quarter the power as compared to when used in Europe.

@Tykebike, the voltage is converted down in the unit, the new ones are all now a cable with a usb plug so you should be fine

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@CEM, ah, so the new ones have a multi voltage (240V/110V manual or auto selecting) power supply unit with a USB outlet? In that case they should work fine as you say. 
My boot warmers (several years old) are definitely designed for 240V only operation.
