Hi,

I've recently moved to London in the UK and brought along my trusty cooker. 
It states that it requires 120V @60/1235 watts. After some research on the 
net it was apparant that transformers that provide > 1000W are at least the 
size of a shoebox and around $70-100. However, I later came across a 
transformer sold by jWin which rates upto 1600W and is as small as an 
average 100w transformer and costs about $10. You can see it here -

the specs.... am I wasting my time? You get what you pay for right? Any help 
would be much appreciated.

James
