I need to buy a hot resistance for change the original in a Helman Group RHP-625 Popcorn Maker
I buy a Helman Group RHP-625 Popcorn Maker in USA but I can not use it because it is 110v. I need 220v. First thing I thought was to buy a 110v to 220v transformer, but the transformer to the power required is too big and heavy. So searching the net I saw that there are the same models but for 220v. I need to buy a new hot resistance of 220 V to replace the 110v current. The rest of the things does not present major complications. Is that the resistance of the model is 1200w 110v and 220v the model is to 850w. Anybody know where I can buy online the resistance? Thanks.

This is a common issue in the UK or overseas with US Products. Whoever there is a great and easy fix to this. Instead on converting you popcorn machine you can contact a electrician to make a 220V to 110V plug for you to use! You can also find these conversion cords online.
Basically you are only going to be using a single leg of the 220v outlet and a ground. That will achieve the 110V that you are needing.
You can also purchase a step down transformer from any electrical warehouse, but these tend to be expensive.
IF you want a free solution I recommend going to t technical school or even a High school with a shop class or industrial arts and ask the shop instructor for advice on making a cord for you.
You might have to buy him the required supplies and some donuts, But I think that you will find that will be much cheaper than a transformer or having a electrician come out.
You might even have a great friend that can do this for you, But i suggest that you trust him with you life before you use it. You wouldn't want a faulty cord to shock someone or burn down the house.
While this machine require very little power to run 12 gauge wire will be plenty.
I hope these suggestion help you get to some great popcorn!
