Got mine from Maplins a few weeks ago, for £12, and it has UK 13A style plug & socket. Never thought that it might save me money! It has taught me about the variable PF of my washing machine, though! So that can't be bad....

Yes they can sell it here in the UK, but how much do you have to add for the adaptors?

Buy one of these instead

Different make, but these come up in lidl or aldi every so often at about 6 pounds, they are also usually on ebay. Good gadget to have.

They appear in aldi or lidl for about £8 every now and again.

It doesn't, but its more useful than the power unit the OP (Anthony) was going on about. :-)
