1500 W isn't a lot, so it's likely to be a single element and thus no
way to rewire for 220V. If for some reason it has two 750W elements it
has the potential to be rewired for 220V.


Ok, I should be able to open it up and determine if it's a single or
dual element.


Why was it you wanted to move to the land of incompatibility?


That's where my wife lives! I'm moving to a lovely little country town.
3 block walk to the downtown, clean air, little traffic, friendly
people, and her house is paid for. We'd both have to work our asses off
here to do half as well as we will there, working part time.
And frankly, I've had a life-long fascination with Australia.
I've never been on the ground in the mid-west, but it's rather like I
would imagine it. One can drive for miles and miles on back roads and
see nary a building. Just rolling hills, fences, and sheep. Lots of
sheep....
