Hi ! I hope someone can help. I bought A Siemans Combi Oven here in the UK 3 yrs ago & now want to buy one to put in a property in northern Italy. The oven is a combination of a grill, normal oven and microwave & I use it all the time, it's great ! But I have been told that combi ovens aren't sold in Italy. I've contacted Siemans (called 7 different numbers uk & Munich) & they either don't know or direct me to their website. The one for Italy doesn't have the combi oven showing.Can anyone tell me firstly, if I buy one in the UK would it be ok for use in Italy (have read the other posts on this but still not sure !) and secondly, if that's a no go, what if I buy one from Germany - would the energy output & wiring be ok to use in Italy ?Thanks so much for any help - I'm going nuts trying to find out !

Thank you Badger & Hazy , that's a great help !  I've looked up the voltage for UK & Italy and one website says Italy is 220v, another says it's 230v so I will have to check. The UK is 240v, so do you know if this difference would be ok ? Would it cause the electrics to keep tripping if it's only 220v in Italy ? Thanks for any answers again !

Voltage is no problem in either case. It is the wattage that you need to be looking at on the unit. If it draws up to say 2500w and you only have the minimum 3000w + 10%, then you would have to be carefull what else you operate at the same time as that unit is working
