Char-Broil140 550 Universal Rotisserie for Performance Gas Barbecue Series, Silver

Having purchased a Charbroil Gas BBQ I decided to go all out and ordered a Charbroil Rotisserie which duly arrived via Amazon. Very well packaged and delivered on time.On opening I found the following problems; 1) The electrical cable was approximately 12 inches long and once fitted to the BBQ it barely reached beyond the back of it and if their was a socket on the wall and you connected it, you would be unable to open the lid due to the proximity to the wall. 2) The plug on the cable is a continental one so it will not fit a UK socket without an adapter. 3) As the plug is a male it is unlikely that you will be able to purchase locally an earthed EU female socket. I tried and eventually had to resort to EBay to locate a suitable adapter at a sensible price. I then had to use an extension lead to connect it to my outside wall socket.Apart from that, the product is very well made, just a pity the someone in the chain did not have the forethought to look after their customers ease of use. Very frustrating.I don’t think that this is Amazons problem, it’s a manufacturer / supplier one.

The motor and the product overall work perfectly hover suffer from a silly design. The power cable is extremely short (see picture) and comes with a Euro plug (not mentioned in description)Have to use an adapter and an extension lead but due to wire being short, you need a heavy duty adapter and power lead because they are so close to the fire they will burn... their plastic almost started to melt with the heat from the bbq !!

unable to use as not compatable with uk electrics

Be wary of the usa 2 pin plug you will need an adaptor, also the lead is very short and I have to use an extension

Just what you want apart from european 2 pin plug
