Heh, :perfect10s: - actually, only our "russian brothers" used this "azbuka" alphabet - when they occupied our country :D We all HATED it..


Anyway, back to the topic - what I was asking was: what output in watts should the adapter have?
There are 100W, 200W, etc - I wouldt like to fry the heater...

I think the one listed on ebay is good for up to 1600 watts.

Just plug it in if it can handle a blow dryer and a curling iron it should be fine.

As for the wattage of the gm heater I dont know.

I bet they never used the word
