I recently acquired a US product (a sewing machine) running on 120 volts, 60Hz and 45 watts.
Sadly I live in europe where 230v, 50Hz is the norm.
I can easily find a 230v > 120v step-down transformer - however the frequency will still be 50Hz.
As I understand this can be a big issue, with overheating and the machine running slower.
Am I totally screwed? Or what can I do?
