Voltage converters

Post by saabnarayan » Mon Oct 29, 2018 9:46 pm

Hello peeps!
I have just landed in Helsinki and am looking for voltage converters from 230 to 110v so I can use Canadian appliances and electronics. I almost never find any answers when I google. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Voltage converters are huge and expensive. Are you sure you aren’t looking for plug converters for devices that work on both Finnish and Canadian voltage?

You are looking at big transformer then most likely. Appliances sound like 1kW+ stuff and that means 1500VA+ transformer and they are decent size boxes. I wouldn't want one of those in my kitchen.

Neah not plug converters. I have quite a few of them for phone or laptop. However I am definitely looking for box sized transformers and yes around 1500w which can be used for 550w blenders and I definitely do not mind the size. And I am totally aware of how big they are. Recommendations on where I can get them would be great. Thanks.

Google "jännitteenmuunnin 110v" and you'll get a few places that sell them.
