Newbie here, I purchased a juicer from Canada (Philips avance 1894/74) on the bottom it requires 120v 60Hz 200W. Now I want to use it in Egypt where the power outlet is 220v 50Hz. I also bought an international converter on the box it says (converts 220/240V foreign electricity to 110/120V for use with most north American appliances rated 0-1875 watts)
When I plug them in, the juicer works for about 10 secs then stops, this happens everytime I press the power button bearing in mind that it makes no difference when I change the settings on the converter from low to high and vice versa. I also tried the same converter with a nitro bullet bought also from Canada and it did the same thing. I am however sure that the converter is working as i use it for a chargeable vaccum bought from the USA.

 

Do you have any kind of test equipment like a voltmeter so you can check to see whether the converter is cutting out?

Lacking a voltmeter maybe you can use a multiple outlet adapter to allow you to plug in a low powered lamp while you try to run the juicer. If the lamp dims a lot or goes out you will know that the converter is the problem.

 

Thank you

Your machine may also be frequency sensitive, the 220v is 50hz and the120v is 60hz, just a thought...
