It primarily effects motors.
Many will run faster on 60Hz than 50Hz so sometimes causing overload.
Heaters, no difference.

My cousin brought a synchronous clock from Canada to Europe. From
that point onwards time seemed to drag :-)


My boss brought a clock radio from US to UK (in the days they weren't
available over here) and bought an auto-transformer to work it on our
supply. I didn't bother to warn him that if would run rather slow.
