Can I use this power converter for my Korean rice cooker? I Bought it when I was in Korea but I live in the states now.

Looking at converting the voltage from 110 to 220 and vice versa, I think the thing will do the job. It looks like the Korean plugs ar similar to many Europeen (incl. Germany) so that should work too.

You need double watts than your cooker consume. So no, you need a bigger one

If your rice cooker is under 100 Watt then my answer is YES, check your manual of rice cooker...

I am not sure. It doesn't work for me. But I am not sure whether I got a broken converter or the converter doesn't work in US. you can have a try.

This is only for transform from 110V to 220V, if your cooker is required for 220V, then it's fine. Please also look at power. This small device could not stand high power output

The item died within 2 months of me purchasing it. It would be best to contact the supplier with the info on your rice cooker and let the company tell you if it's the correct model or not. It wasn't for me, but it was my fault for not contacting the supplier for more information first.

No you cannot. this thing has only 100 W or 150 W is meant for small electronics.

I am confused. Where are you? USA or India? If you are in the US and want to use this upconverter to supply 220 volts to operate a 1000w food processor I think you will be fine. You might want to look at the surge wattage your processor draws upon startup just to be sure. But my guess is you will be safe because you are using a converter that is rated for twice your needs. That should be a safe cushion.

I afraid I have to say this rice cooker only comes with US 2 pin-plug and the power cord can not be replaced by a 3-pin plug. It also only use the 110-120V power.

I have used it in Korea...actually it is in regular use with other appliances here as well. The prongs are a bit smaller than the type used here, but it works OK.

Hmm...I am using this transformer in Japan for my American appliances, however most of our outlets in our Japanese apartment are just two prong. The few (recently purchased) Japanese appliances we have are two prong, the same size as older American ungrounded outlets and fit in this device without an adaptor. How old is the rice cooker? What does the plug look like?

My answer would be no, mostly because your appliance is very high wattage. I am using mine with a 600 W food processor. It is recommended that you use an inverter that has atleast twice the wattage than your appliance. You will either end up burning the appliance or the inverter and you will also be using a lot of electricity to make a cup of coffee. Now you could use a step down voltage regulator with 2000 W rating but no guarantees. Look at the forum here, that might help: http://forum.singaporeexpats.com/viewtopic.php?p=463525

THANKS SIR The brand is a brand of Korea. Korea is used to 220v. It is possible to use pre-220v volt products from 110v. If your order, such documentation will also be sent in English. And we'll get the enabling faster product than the period specified in the Amazon.

I have never been to Korea. I have used it in Italy spain france turkey geeece and usa. I do not see why it would not work in Korea. it has a plug for everywhere.

I use 110V in the US so do not have actual experience. I've just looked at all the literature I got and it does not tell me the answer to your question. Guess you will have to call Samsung at 1-800-726-7864 and ask them.

It is safe to use a converter if the appliance connected to it can be used for 110v as well. There are a multiplicity of devices such as laptop chargers, powered speakers, etc, that have the capability to work for 240 to 110 v. You can even buy TVs in South East Asia that work this way. If you buy a laptop inthe UK it will be equipped with a UK power connector but it can also be used with 110v. Read carefully the specifications written on the power adapter itself, or in your manual.

You just need a prong converter, not a power converter. I have used mine in Asia twice. The adaptor uses 110 or 220 as with most.

I remember it's 110v but i don't recommend it. It lasted only a few months. I now have a $10 Rice Cooker and it has lasted me so far.

yes you can use US devices in Korea. keep in mind this is not a convertor, it's an adapter. It will not convert from 220v to 110v. Most laptops and mobile phones have dual voltage so you do not have to worry about that, but if you plug in the wrong device it will burn it

I use a power supply from my old Samsung. I am sorry I don't have the knowledge to respond question.

It won't work with 220-240V. And it's not recommended to use the cooker outside of USA.

Every country has it's own electrical standard. If Korea has a different standard, then a conversion device would need to be employed. If Korea and the U.S. have the same standard, then it would seem that it would "work in Korea". Best to check with someone well versed in such knowledge. Here a start but please still verify with someone knowledgeable: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm
