Looking at bringing an Aero Bed with a built in pump to Tenerife as an extra bed. It will be bought in the Uk. Does anyone know if this will work ok over there bearing in mind the voltage in Tenerife is 220-230V?

The voltage in the UK is now 230 volts.

The Voltage in the rest of Europe (including Tenerife) is 230 volts.

In an ideal case, it would be safest to change the plug from a UK square pin to a European dual pin plus earth, as adaptors can cause problems, but this will cancel any guarantee you have on your item.

You'll have to get a powered one, Vince. (With a regulator, of course)

We took one of those beds to Tenerife previously and the pump works fine. Just beware your weight limitations as the beds can be heavier than they look.
