    Typically no. Then again, some things these days, like computer power supplies, have a switch to run off 120 or 220v. I have not seen any appliances that have this feature though.
    It must be run at the voltage spec'd.
    So it's either a converter rated for the capacity of the appliance (wattage), or don't use it.
