I made the mistake of bringing a fuzzy logic rice cooker back with me from Japan and thought I could use a converter I already had at home but when I looked at the specs on the cooker, it says 100V, 1100W, 20A. My converter is rated for under 100W. So I found someone selling a 110V to 100V step down transformer at 1500VA and 15A max. Is 1500VA the same as 1500W? Will the 5A make any difference? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff but want to make sure I don't do anything that will damage the cooker since its electronics are quite complex as far as rice cookers go. The seller is not a dealer so he is not sure either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
