European Appliances in the US
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 |
