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) stand 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?
