Hi

I just picked up one of these for a song:



aka http://www.saeco.ca/en/products/profess...cules.html

It has a plug that looks like this:



With a label under it that looks like this:



What are my options to make this work at home ? I have an oven that is 220v..

I am in a 110v apartment.. I could convince the landlord to let me hire an electrician if that helps..

Thanks !

I did some poking around and some calling. I talked to someone over at 220VoltAppliances and he suggested this: http://www.220voltappliances.com/itemde...ic=VC1500W or even the 1000w version..

They are actually a 30 minute drive from my place.. So I will bring the grinder in to make sure. It also looks to me like the plug on that grinder is UK.. Can anyone confirm ?

Thanks

If your oven is 220, it seems to me that you could get this grinder to work on the same line. Just change out the plug.

That is an option.. I would think I'd still need an electrian as I sometimes need to use the oven. It's the cleanest option..

A friend of mine said an electrian could split the 220 going to the stove. As long as I don't run the stove and the grinder at the same time, I'd be fine..

But to be honest, since this is a rental place and it would involve calling the landlord, explaining it all.. I'm thinking the route with the least resistence is to just get the step-up.. It probably works out to the same price too.. An electrian would cost me at least 2hrs work I figure..

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it.

To close things off. I purchased a 3000 watt step-up



The 2000 watts step-up barely turned the grinder.. At 3000 watts, it goes fine with beans.. Grinds crazy fast too..

My setup now looks like this:



Thanks again everyone
