That is not so - we all h ave 50 hertz in europe and from 220 volt to
240 AC so there is no trouble there.

As we have aus.consumers, it might be well not to be confused by the
americans. They are the one with the odd voltage and frequenzy of 60
herts.

If you have plenty of money, I find that the AEG is as good a machine
as you can get. That was left in a beautiful farmhouse (hobby) in UK.
We bought a Hoover here and god help us I was forever changing
bearings and standing it on its head.
I must have had rocks in the head when I bought that - too much to do
and too little time - it was a frontloader as all machines should be
nowadays. ?Trouble was it had no way of getting to put in softner and
the like after the machine had filled up. ALLMOST UNBELIEVABLE.  We
now have a swedish machine called Asko. Worth its weight in gold and
did not cost quite that amount.
Funny I tried to get this AUS.consumers to get away from the whole
wide world and then we get yankee information - frankly not good
enough.
I have some experience as I ran a shop in UK for 35 years as Radio Tv
and white goods. at now 74 I do have some experience for what it is
worth.
It has to be front loader today for saving water and detergents.
