I have 3 French appliances (Miele) which I brought to New York: 1
dishwasher, 1 dryer & 1 washing machine.

Has anybody been successful at hooking up this type of applicance here
in the US?
They take 220V, 50Hz and 3000W in average each( I have 4000 W
transformers which seem to do the trick even if they won't convert the
50Hz into 60Hz (any risk here?).
Would it be better to install a 240V line directly to the machines
instead of using the transformers?

Also, the plumbing side is somewhat challenging (the washing machine
and dishwasher both take 3/4" instead of the standard 3/8" here) which
I overcame in piling up some plumbing adaptors. A little leaking
though.

Please HELP if you survived such an experience.

Thanks

You really need to check with the manufacturers to assure that they can
successfully be operated on 60 cycle.

If they will operate properly on 60 cycle then you really want to bring
in a 240V line (might also check about the 240 vs 220) not try and use a
transformer.

You should be able to solve the leaking adapter problems as what you are
talking about is not all that unusual, Don't try using it until you have
the leak thing fixed. As a professional plumber if needed.
