Stand Mixer and Power Frequency
Frequently Asked Question
Here are the questions when using a stand mixer on the incorrect power frequency
Can I run a Kenmore elite stand mixer on a 50Hz power?
I am a military spouse who is in need of several kitchen appliances. I am a nutritionist and I am working on lightening up many different recipes and cultural favorites. I volunteer teach at our local USO teens to learn nutrition and cooking and we recently moved overseas. I recieved a few kitchen necessities before the move that have never been opened and are still in the box that I wont be able to use due to power conversions. I have step up converters, but even those have too low Hertz and will blow the motors within a year. So long story I have to get new equipment. I already replaced my crockpot and instant pot (one of the new in box items) and need to still replace my blender ( it was the new in box Oster pro 1200) and stand mixer (only 3 years old). I am wondering about your Kenmore elite stand mixer as it says 220 v compatible, is the hertz dual as well? Is there a place in germany I can buy this or is it going to be purchase and ship overseas, also do those go on sale at all? Do you all have anything that is 220 that could replace the blender?
There is a technology has been developed to solve exactly the issues you are facing. As a matter of fact, the US Navy was the first to test and approve utilizing it for use in their base in Singapore about 3 years ago and they are now installed in Kuwait as well as the Bahrain base. The medical division just placed order for units to be used at the base in Bahrain as well. This technology called Voltage and Frequency Converter, not only it converts the voltage from 220V to 120V, but also it converts electricity frequency from 50Hz to 60Hz.
