I have a number of electrical home appliances that are designed for

  • 100V, 50Hz
  • 120V, 60Hz
  • 230V, 50Hz

I have a converter 100V <=> 220V-240V (according to the description). My power outlet has (supposedly)

  • 110V-115V, 60Hz

and in other places

  • 220V, 60Hz.

What effects do I have to expect when I use my appliances (with or without converter, as appropriate), where the appliances are

  • (120V/60Hz) Kitchen Aidstand mixer (simple motor)
  • (100V/50Hz) rice polisher (turns for a pre-programmed number of times)
  • (100V/50Hz) rice cooker (with complex functions such as indicating time, calculating time remaining for a particular rice cooking program)
  • (120V/60Hz) mixer (variable speed)
  • (100V/50Hz) CD player
  • (230V/50Hz) printer

at the slightly different voltage?

Is it sensible to measure the voltage and frequency before using the appliances and, if so, what equipment do I need?
