Can I take Canadian Thermomix (TM3.1) to Australia?

[arafalov]

I am moving to Australia and want to know whether my Canadian TM3.1 would work in Australia. I saw a thread in the opposite direction (Australian to USA), but don't understand enough about electricity to even know if it is applicable.

I know the plugs are different, but the important thing is voltage. Does anybody have an advice on this?

The other option is to sell it and to look into buying TM5 on arrival, but that's an expensive proposition even if I get a good price here.

Canada operates on 110 v, whilst Australian electricity is on 220 v. Hence, you will need a step up/step down power converter - unsightly. The plug is also different. I moved from Aus to US last year and decided to sell TM31 in Aus rather than deal with converter issues.
