Did check out the voltage converters, while they are relatively inexpensive ( around $100 for the wattage needed), hate the look of this big box sitting around. As far as the 50/60 hrz thing, timers run slower or faster but the motor function should not be noticable.
Real problem, in terms of cost, our favorite appliance, which we hate to pay $599. internet price (110 volts) for is our coffee maker. Thanks for all the suggestions, however. The electrition / new line idea might be worth a go, or because the coffee maker is several years old maybe we just bite the bullet and purchase a new one. Thanks again. - BJ
