Convertor for indian wet grinder in us

dblakshmi · Jan 7, 2010

I live in US. I brought a wet grinder (220v) from India which i was using there. I hd very less time to purchase convertors in India. my friends told me that we get convertors here in US. I bought one 110-220 /220-110 transformer online. the plug of the grinder does not fit in the output of the transformer, i am not able to use the grinder. if i buy an adaptor to fit in this grinder's plug, will it work?

has anyone done this?

Hi Muva,

We checked in our grinder as one baggage. i am sure you get transformers in India to use Indian appliances in US.You can chk that n any appliances or electrical shops. I didn't have time to buy that. so i bought universal transformer 110-220 vice versa here and to that an adaptor also. it solved the problem. i am able to use the grinder.
But i assume there is a limitation of one baggage/ head in few airlines. you can chk that also and proceed.
I hope this clarifies.

Hi Lakshmi,

I'm planning to get a wet grinder from India (NOT converted to 110V). Which 110V to 220V transformer do you suggest for getting my appliance to work in the US?

Thank you for your advice.
