You could add a 208 / 220 circuit to the kitchen. Most kitchen receptacles
are split 240 - a voltmeter from hot to hot will show this.

Some are, some ain't - depends on how old the kitchen is and the
electrician's customary way of wiring.



DON'T try to cheat with two plugs - this is a fool killer.

As long as you stay away from the prongs of the 2nd plug after you plug in
the first you should be ok. That's a big if.


You COULD (I suppose) wire a cable to one of those 2 to 6 outlet
adaptors and get the voltage that way (I've contemplated that).

Are you sure it isn't 50 cycle?


Wouldn't make any difference - 50 hz. machines will run just fine on 60 hz.
and vice versa - the slight difference in speed does not affect the
performance significantly.
