    Hi

    I'm thinking of purchasing a Sani-grinder from the US. My question is it is 115v will it work in Australia with just a plug change? They are a lot cheaper to purchase from the US, even with shipping than they are from here.

    Thanks

    Bex

    Im assuming in would need a transformer converter!! may be just too much hassle. Has anyone done it here in Aus?

    I get them directly from the manufacturer in the US into here in Singapore. You need to ask them for the 240volt model. Also check the Hz too. Just ask the guys at Handler Manufacturing in New Jersey.

    Thanks Adam , am also looking at a Jet one from Gregory machinery!
     
  5. A step down transformer should allow you to easily use a 110 Volt Sani-Grinder in countries where 220 Volts is the standard alternating current voltage.

    Thanks Kevin. I know about these but someone told me they get very warm and the anxiety freak that I am! I'd be scared of blowing the place up!

  7. Just keep it in an area where it is not tightly enclosed or touching something and it will be fine. It will only heat up signficantly when the grinder is being used. I wouldn't give it a second thought.
