Well, whatever it is shipped out yesterday! Now all I have to do is wait a month and we’ll figure it out! :)
Maybe we can do a poll of what we think you'll be getting.

==> I'm saying you're getting an AC adapter plug, as pictured in the last 3 images.
Not a CO2 regulator as was advertised for $3.54, including shipping.
 
That sure would be a bummer. I could definitively say it was a bust of a purchase at least ;)
In all likelihood, it will be just fine. I'd recommend tightening all fittings and adding teflon tape where appropriate. There are junk sellers out there but they don't stay in business long, and besides, you have invested very little. At this price they can sell a bunch of units and build up a good rating/feedback, then raise the price to a profitable level. I've been to a couple dozen factories in China, and they more or less know how to make a quality product. Met some fantastic engineers, nice people to collaborate with on new products. Masters at cost reduction, though it always involves tradeoffs.

As requested I have add a poll for voting what I will receive, even if it is not much at least we can have fun with it! :tank:

YVW!
Are the rubber bands the same what we refer to as the plastic washers?

Or are they the black rubber surrounds on the gauges?
 
Depending on how precise the regulator can be adjusted, but probably not. If the precision is 1MPa, one adjustment ups your pressure by 91psi. Your degree between 0-1 is 91psi.
I was incorrect with my conversion, 1MPa = 145 PSI. Just be careful and check your gauge units.
 
If you look closely at the high pressure gauge it goes up to 3000 psi. So it's not a normal gauge for showing amount left in the CO2 cylinder.
Look at all the HBT losers who take days to force carbonate when it can be done in seconds.

I'm guessing option 4 and we don't ever hear back from OP because he chose the wrong voltage.

Hey.. please consider removing “Chinaman brewing assistant” from your poll options. I’m sure you weren’t intending to offend, but that term is pretty racist and offensive.
 
For me, the regulator price shows up as $36.99, and the adapter is $1.04. You're getting an adapter, and you overpaid for it.
 
Could have just gotten a solid taprite, made stateside, supported workers here. Even if this ends up being a regulator, it will be junk
 
What part of that do you insert into your butt? And I can't see in the pictures where you attach the UK to US AC Power Plug!!!

What PSI would you suggest?
