Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Using European TM31 in the USA?
« on: June 14, 2009, 12:14:15 am »
Hi everyone,
I am knew to the thermomix community and am in the process of purchasing a TM31, here in Portugal. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using the european spec TM31 in the U.S.
Voltage is 110V in the U.S. versus Europe's 220V. That's no problem, easy to take care of with a transformer. My main concern is the difference in cycles, with Europe being on a 50Hz cycle and the U.S. being on a 60Hz. This can alter blade speeds, and other functions.
Has anyone been in this situation, and have any suggestions? Thanks - I hope to begin spreading the word about TM in the States!
