    +1 from me. Outstanding mixer, at an amazing price. I already have one, but tempted to get another at this price!!

    EDIT: But having been reminded it will be 110V, it is worth considering the cost and need for a step up transformer.

    • yoyo on 13/08/2014 - 12:26

      Maybe small thing, this one (the one mentioned in this post) is the "Classic", which has 275 watt motor, the other one you most likely bought in here it would have come with 300 watt motor. Also as it was mentioned in here, Classic only comes in white so no color choice. Still the price difference cannot be justified.

  • rick044 on 12/08/2014 - 21:34

    We bought one from the USA back to Aus and by the time we had to buy a step down converter it ended up being a lot more expensive than the initial price tag. Plus the motor will wear out faster due to the voltage difference being converted (not to mention the ugly convertor sitting on the bench with it!).

    I'm not saying don't get it, just realise what you are in for first and do some research to get it working properly in AUS.

    • tightarse on 12/08/2014 - 21:36

      Plus the motor will wear out faster due to the voltage difference being converted.

      Wat.

      Are you saying our main power wears out motors "faster" because it is stepped down from the grid?

      The power coming out of the step down converter should be the same as what come out of a US plug unless you buy some 100W elcheapo from a bunnings sale bin.

      • jjcf on 13/08/2014 - 12:35
        +4

        Yes, it does wear it out faster when you run it through the transformer.

        It's not the same as what comes out of a US plug, because their grid runs at 60hz and we run 50hz. And your little ebay transformer (or your expensive tortech one) isn't going to be shifting frequencies.

        So any MOTOR that uses the phases for their timing is going to run 20% slower. Depending on the motor and application in question, this can overheat it in a matter of minutes (since the cooling cap will drop faster than the speed difference), and the shift in v/f will lead to higher current draw (and, thereby, more heat buildup).

        So, at best you get something running at 80% of it's capacity and killing the motor life. At worst, things explode. As many people have found out when trying to bring in US table saws and routers.

        This is completely different than just running some kind of electronic dealie which doesn't care about frequency.

        But feel free to keep up with the condescension.

        'wat.'

      Ahhh no… The voltage has been stepped down (amazingly that's why it's called a step down transformer). Therefore it's getting 110v from the ugly box. Yes it's an ugly box but the rest of your comment is real tinfoil material, sorry.

    To those contemplating using a step-down transformer, keep in mind that when it comes to AC motors, it's not just the voltage that matters, it's the frequency too. The US is 60Hz and we are 50Hz. Running a 60Hz motor at 50Hz will make it run 17% slower. Depending on the design, duration of operation, and the load applied to it, the motor could possibly overheat as well.

    • Black Hole on 12/08/2014 - 23:32

      Can you explain why will it over heat when the motor is spinning slower. Car engine and motor in general should run cooler at low revolution.

        +10

        That's just a page selling transformers. They're not going to tell you the disadvantages of using their products, are they?

        As I said earlier, AC motors are complicated things. There are many different designs, some of which don't mind a frequency difference (e.g. universal motors), and those that do (e.g. induction motors). I'm not sure what type this particular one uses, but higher-end mixers use induction motors for various reasons (like a longer lifespan/lower maintenance as they don't need commutator brushes). If this uses a universal motor, just ignore all this and enjoy the bargain (with the appropriate transformer of course!).

        To prevent magnetic circuit saturation, the V/f relationship should be maintained. Here we are talking about running a 110V 60Hz appliance at 110V 50Hz. That means V/f goes up, which leads to an increase in current draw and associated increase in temperature. Increased temperatures can degrade motor winding insulation leading to a short. The rule of thumb is a 10 degree increase can cut the lifespan of the insulation by half.

        To maintain the V/f ratio, instead of 110V, the 110V/60Hz motor should be run at 91.6 volts/50Hz (x = 50Hz(110V)/60Hz).

        Manufacturers would normally build in some tolerance into their machines. It can still work perfectly fine (albeit at a lower speed) right now, but may fail sooner than a machine that was designed for 50Hz operation. If it isn't used frequently, that time period might be long enough not to care about.

        And to top it off, someone asked KitchenAid about using US KitchenAids in 220V Europe.
        http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/06/will-a-kitchenaid-from-…

        Q: Will the US-model KitchenAid mixer work in Europe?

        A: Yes, they will work. But we do not recommend it. US units are 110V, Europe runs on 220V. This will slow down the unit causing it to overheat.

        • Black Hole on 13/08/2014 - 06:55

        • BlitzR on 13/08/2014 - 09:20

          my wife has been using her mixer with that stepdown for over 2 years now (3-4times/mth) and its still going strong. So to buy a mixer from america, then buying a stepdown and saving half price i well worth the risk. there are many other ppl in the cooking forums who have done the save thing and not had any issues.

        • Keeno on 13/08/2014 - 10:48

          Too many Ions in the Flux Capacitor!

          This isn't applicable because the input supply is not directly connected to the motor.

          These mixers have speed control and the motor will be separated from the AC mains by a DC bus. What's relevant is if the AC/DC converter can handle 60Hz, the converter is probably just a bridge rectifier with some smoothing capacitors and I would think there should be no problems.

          @donkeykong: There's no cheap way to convert 50Hz to 60Hz. You could use a VFD and lock it at 60Hz but that's not going to be cheap anymore.

          @BlitzR: Yeah for that large price difference I would probably do it too. And if Keeno's assertion that it uses a DC motor is correct, even better! No worries.

          OK I just had a look at the KitchenAid website and it looks like only their food processors mention the use of induction motors. That likely means the mixers use a universal (or pure DC) motor, so as I mentioned earlier, just ignore all this and enjoy the bargain! I assume KA aren't using a linear PSU inside for any control circuitry so it should be OK on that front too.

          Just don't import their food processors. :)

        • jjcf on 13/08/2014 - 12:57

        Good work actually reading the page you quoted.

        1. Does your appliance have a mechanical timing device?
          If so, how critical is this timing device? The Transformer cannot change the Frequency. It is 50Hz.

        If a timing device is included the speed of the device may change due to the frequency change, 60Hz to 50Hz (eg old clocks, motors fans) Most modern electronic devices should not be affected

    • slacker on 13/08/2014 - 08:46

      This is correct. Running an AC motor at a lower frequency will cause to to draw more current. Drawing more current can cause it to overheat.

      http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/36778/relatio…

      • Keeno on 13/08/2014 - 09:18
        +2

        No, motor current draw is dependant on the connected load.

        This mixer is variable speed, which means that there is either a DC motor controlled by DC voltage or an AC motor controlled by variable volts variable frequency (or a brushless DC motor which is unlikely). In either either situation there will be a front end AC / DC converter on the speed controller which is not likely to be affected by the frequency.

    • King Tightarse on 13/08/2014 - 10:42

      eug is spot on with this.

      Generally if it's AC and it spins, it will spin at a different rate in 50 and 60 hertz countries
      Want to prove it for yourself? Plug a US tape player in to transformer and prepare to be amazed.

      • Black Hole on 13/08/2014 - 11:55

        But Keeno also has a point here as this mixer has a regulator for variable speed while tape player was set at a pre-determined speed for accurate playback.

        • Tuba on 13/08/2014 - 12:04

          I think you will find the point was that for any GIVEN speed, it will be wrong. So mixer on 1, tape on play, both will be running at the wrong speed. The main point is that with the Tape player you can audibly hear its off by the music speed, thus demonstrating that the mixer will also be off. Being off, will result in the damage mentioned.

          I have no idea if the difference will result in damage, but Im happy to take their word for it.
