Title: Electrical items not always what they seem
Review: I bought a digital clock radio through Amazon for my wife who was wanting a digital radio. I assumed a little naively that this is what she wanted. When it arrived, it turned out to be a digital clock with a standard radio. For the price it was reasonable so we were happy. The item, however was from the USA and could not be used in Australia. US mains power runs at 115 volts. Australian is 240 volts. Voltages differ from country to country and I expected that a large business would have been aware that an electrical appliance must be appropriate for the country of use.While there is the safety net of return of purchases, it cost me $53 to send it back - about the cost of the item itself.Take care when buying electrical items - ask questions if you can't find information on the voltage. Standard adaptors don't alter the voltage, they just change the shape of the power plug.
