No idea about the hot dog machine - but I bought a halogen heater a while back that was a bit embarrassing.

Two problems with that heater.

Problem no.1 - the plug did not make contact in any of the downstairs sockets, it only works in a couple upstairs.

Problem no.2 - it has a touchy "safety switch" on the base, that only makes contact on a perfectly flat and level surface. Shagpile carpet - forget it.

Took it back to the shop, the bloke plugged it in, and it glowed appropriately warming the surrounding environment.

Looking embarrassed, I took it back home and still couldn't get it to work. Then I started investigating seriously. I have a two way adapter that it works with, that lets it plug into any socket in the house. And I have an old bit of Formica sheet that makes it work on a carpet when slipped under the safety switch.

Try the hotdog maker in more than one socket. Try using an adapter. And check for a safety switch.

Thanks to everyone who have offered help and thanks to the one PM who offered the best help my fiance will take it back to the shop with the receipt we will buy from their own website because they offer a package thats cheaper than the one item for sale. good times, fingers crossed

Yeah you use the hot dogs as brake pads to warm them up and you sit on the buns.
