Hi does anybody own one off these as I have just got one and was wondering how to charge the unit as it comes with a usb lead which has Samsung sticker on it  and a two pin Samsung plug which is for the USA 

I was wondering if I could just use any three pin usb plug for the U.K. with the usb lead?

Thanks

That is exactly what I was using 😄. It lasts very long once charged.

As long as live and neutral line up.

Incidentally, where did you buy it from?

Hi plugged the charger in should there be some sort off battery light to show it’s charging as the lead which goes in to the unit does not go all the way in ?

It blinks only when the machine is powered on.

Thanks mate but I don’t like the way the usb does not go all the way in 

 

[vicamy]

Yes I agree. Mine is the same. The design could be better eg the charging light when machine is powered off and the usb plug etc. Mine is the basic version while yours is the pro, but they didn’t make improvements on these ‘minute’ things by looking at it 😆.

Yes it should be a firm fit as they are not cheap and being a engineer I like things to be right as it’s just prone to break 

Thanks for your help on this I feel a bit better knowing it should be like this as the instruction does not say anything about charging the unit 

cheers

Glad to help 😊👍

I was going to buy one from the States but when the shipping and tax were added the cost was too much.

Hopefully they will be selling in the UK soon.

The shipping from the USA is a killer and the tax on top don’t help the site in Europe is just as bad I would had thought someone in the uk would sell them but have yet to find anyone i was lucky to get this one cheaper but don’t know if he will do it again.i guess I could only ask if someone wanted one.👍🏿
