I brought my Nespresso Essenza machine with me from the US. I now notice the bottom sticker says 120w.

What exactly do I need in order to use it here? Is an adapter enough or do i need a power transformer?

What would happen if I plug it in right now?

Thanks

Alex

You must use a step down transformer or you will permanently damage the device. I know from personal experience. Do not connect directly with just an adapter if you have standard UK power.

the uk uses 240v mains so yes you will need the stepdown transformer as col geek has stated.
