Chit Chat / Moving Thermie from Dubai to Canada? Voltage issues!
« on: June 08, 2015, 07:44:52 am »
Hi all,
I bought my Thermie here in Dubai and can't live without it. However, we are moving to Canada where voltage is 120 rather than 240.
Does anyone have experience with this? I have been suggested two options:
a. install one power point in my kitchen that is 240 rather than 120 but that seems not great as nothing else would work there and might result in many fried appliances if not closely monitored, and
b. use an up/down converter but they are big black boxes that sit on the counter top and take up precious space, and not sure if they are good in the long term for daily use.
I could sell my existing one here and buy another, but thought I'd see if anyone has advice before I do that.
Many thanks.
