Hi guys, I need some assistance on using small US devices designed to operate at 60hz. I'm in the UK (50Hz) trying to use US clippers. Because of the frequency difference, the volt transformers alone don't work. The clippers become loud and violently rattle.
Some say the solution is an AC to 12v DC converter and a DC to AC 110/60Hz car Inverter as seen below.

Are these methods efficient/accurate? I've heard some say that you need a pure sine wave, but most reviews seem good.
Just needed to make sure. Appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.
