Power Conversion

If you are coming from a country whose AC power is 110V @ 60Hz, such as the United States, you may be interested in purchasing power converters \ transformers.

While power transformers will be able to step up the voltage from 110V to New Zealand's 220V, the power will still be operating at 50 Hz.

Operating motorized devices outside of their specification can cause wear on the motors, slowly killing your device. Be aware of this when considering your appliance, as you are now shortening its lifespan.
