Looking to buy transformer for sewing machines 120V 60HZ, One specifies 110 watts. MOving to a 220V country. WHich WATT transformer should I get?

I suggest you get the 200 Watt transformer as long as you use it only for the sewing machine at a time.

well you may find you need more than 200 watt transformer. i got a 500 and run all my U.S. stuff on it. ie TV, laptop.. hard drives :)... ps stay away from the one with the usb port. its junk.....

You would need a robust step down transformer to convert 220v to 110-120v. Read the specifications for the Fryer, it may require around 1000W so your transformer must have at least that much if not 2-3x more.

If I am not mistaken, Germany like other CE country use 220V, 50Hz, correct? If so you definitely need a step up transformer which can handle 1500W. Since this is a heating element apparel and not an electronic device, I am not sure if a converter will be suitable for it though.

120V 60Hz so you would need a transformer for 220V 50HzGreat machine though!

Ok, just have the original one under my eyes.brand is EVER GLOW.CLASS 2 TRANSFORMERMODEL NO: DCU130060INPUT: 120VAC 60Hz 15WOUTPUT: 13VDC 600mAPS: I used it in France, forgot it could not support 220/230 volts, and it just burnt, so I have to buy another one, but it works perfectly fine in North America.

I would assume is USA 120V unless otherwise specified. Worth getting a transformer thought. i love this machine!

Hi! Thank you for your note. We get many questions like this from all over the world. These Nostalgia machines are all made for 120volts. You will need a voltage converter to run the macgine safely. We always recommend that you go to your local electronics store and find a convertor that will work best for your country. I wish we had them in 220. Everyone loves the machines! They are so clever and handy! Please let us know if we can help you further... Caren

If it is a 220 VAC single phase sewing machine from overseas than the LiteFuze transformer will work for you. How much power does the sewing machine use? I purchased a LiteFuze LR-1500 for my wife's Chinese Hair Dryer and a Tea Table and it works great.

Sewing machine shouldn't use so much power. The LC-500 should be enough for you:LiteFuze LC-500EU 500 Watt Step Up/Down Travel Voltage Converter, EU Cord

No, it is not. It only works with 110v. However, there is a different version of this exact same sewing machine that is 220v compatible. It is called the MW3018LE. I emailed Janome about it, and they confirm that it is the same machine (other than the voltage difference).

110w Outlet (OK in America) Need a Transformer in my case Australia which uses 220/40w

If your machine only operates on 110-120 voltage, the answer is yes. However, many electronic devices operate on dual voltage, and do not need a transformer/converter. Check your machine/device, and if the power adapter or other area of the machine indicates "input 110-220v," you do not need a converter/transformer. If it only indicates "input 110v," then you do need a converter/transformer.

you need to call the manufacturer for that information. A lot of small appliances need a transformer to work, otherwise the 220 V will fry the circuitry

It's not the watts. It best to use the power converter, to convert 110 to 220 volts. Why, in US, the power run on 60Hz, in Asian the power is 50Hz.The ratio between 50Hz and 60Hz is about 83% slower. Speed and torque goes together. The saw may have a switch to switch-over to 220 volt.But the saw speed will be slower and not enough torque to do the job, then you have to feed the wood cutting slowly. It's best to use a converter.Try it two ways, one without the converter and other with a converter and see the difference in saw performance. In the end the motor is made for 60Hz.

Hi. you will need a step down transformer to work this equipment on 220. Otherwise will burn.

Very simple-plug in transformer into wall socket (the plug has two rounded prongs -may need an adapter to fit, I'm not sure what types of wall outlets are in Switzerland). Then just plug US 3 pronged cord into the 110 V outlet on transformer. This transformer is rated for 1000 Watts, so you should be fine at only 410 Watts.

Tale Gunner offered the best answer; the picture on the Amazon product page shows a 230v/50Hz machine (although US buyers receive 110v-130V/60Hz units), so you should take care to ensure you get the right version sent Down Under. Cheers!
