Buying the Vertuo Up in the UK
- Buy the UK version: UK machines run on 230 V and come with a UK three-pin plug. US models imported through marketplace sellers are built for 120 V and should not be used with a simple plug adaptor.
- Our link opens Amazon.co.uk with UK pricing in pounds. The same machine is often sold under the De'Longhi, Krups or Magimix name; the coffee system is identical, so compare colour, bundle and price.
- The manufacturer's warranty is normally handled in the country of purchase, which is another reason to buy a UK listing. Vertuo capsules are widely sold in UK supermarkets as well as online.
