Hi all,
I hope you can help me figure out a solution for my problem. I have no idea about electronics, so please try to give me an answer in simple language.
I'm moving from Europe to South America and before taking things there , I want to make sure I'm going to be able to use them.
Specifically, I want to know if a 50hz sewing machine will work there. I know I can buy a transformer, but they only solve the voltage difference. Is there any way around the frequency?
How about a smaller device, again 50hz? (It's a mouth irrigator, "waterpik")
I've read contradictory information about this. Some say there's no way around it. Others say objects will work everywhere (I don't want to take the risk of paying transport fees for nothing), and some say there are frequency converters available but quite expensive.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!
