Electric kettles - unless you are looking for a sophisticated microprocessor controlled one - it won't care whether you have 50 or 60Hz, and probably won't care too much about 127V instead of 110V. It might not last quite as long as it would in US, but will probably boil the water faster!

I use a line conditioner for my computers. So far, I have had no major problems.

Hi Guys, all my surge protectors are capped at 125V, where can I pick up 140V ones. I am assuming I have to get them in Bonaire as locally they are all 115 +10%

Peter..I suspect the automatic voltage regulators sold at Hi Tess are a bit better than the stock surge protectors.

I have had good luck with app.that use both 50-60htz .I learned the hard way on a tv. Once I bought a vizio tv that was 50-60 hz and place it in our condo that is a rental it has been there for 2years with no problem.Also all low voltage app. phone computor alarms I used a radio shack low voltage convertor 5to 15volt ajustable that is 50-60htz approved.

Your largest factor is the 50hz. instead of the 127 volt. We have voltage in the us often of 130 not as consistent as we may think. The 50hz will make all 60hz app. run hot. I bought a Vizio tv 50hz -60hz. 3years ago and have no problems.My grill also I bought 50hz -60hz 3yrs. ago in my rental at the Bellafonte.
