That’s a 110Volt plug. I wouldn’t use an adaptor to make it a standard 3 pin plug as UK mains is 230 Volts and you risk damaging the hoover.

If it is a 110Volt hoover you’ll need a transformer to power it.

Like Mike says, check the sticker on the back of the hoover wherever the power cable goes in to check the voltage.

If it's 110v, then your cheap Henry will need a £60 transformer.

The things we buy because they're cheap. I recall buying a set of pilots Sennheiser headphons and mic for my buddy who was learning to pilot a copter, he laughed and said they're 20 years old and that he gets his free on the training.

I have to say maybe the plug was an indication you probably should have avoided that Henry!
