I have a kitchen appliance which is rated as 240V,50HZ,750W which I brought it from India. What type (and capacity) of voltage converters I would need to use it in the US. I presume my wall outlet is rated 110v/120v;

Where can I buy these voltage converters? Any retail store or online suggestions?

I found these on Google search online sellers like these -
Diamond Series Voltage converter, Voltage transformer, Step Down VOltage converter, step down voltage transformer, step up voltage converter

But don't know how reliable they are.

Any other options/suggestions?

Can you tell what the Make, Model and type of appliance.
Frequency may or may not be important, and it may be better, more efficient to run 240 volts to this appliance.

It's a blender/mixer
Make Prestige
Model - not sure
(see this link for make/model -
Mixer Grinder Deluxe VS [mixer-grinder-deluxe-vs] - Rs.3,156.00 : Prestige TTK)
Hope this helps..

I'm sure the 1000 or 1500 watt unit will work for you. But is that blender worth an additional $100... plus shipping... when you can get one at Walmart for $19.99?

That's what I'm wondering!

You are the only one that can make that decision. Put the blender on Ebay and use the profit to buy a new one... in the correct voltage.

Probably not worth it. Diamond Series Voltage converter, Voltage transformer, Step Down VOltage converter, step down voltage transformer, step up voltage converter

No need for a transformer.If your kitchen recepticles are split recepticles,replace it with a 240v receptacle.Note your blender will run 20% faster.This will not hurt the blender if you load it up to max. 80% capacity.

Matt... I believe you are incorrect. The 240 volt suppllied in european countries are 240volt to a neutral, not two 120 volt supplies. It will certainly destroy the appliance. That's why the voltage transformers are needed.

Missuori,I never seen a neutral and ground hooked up together in appliance before.

Matt, you are a bit confused. The voltage in the US is 120 volt to neutral, and in the UK it's 240 volts to neutral. The UK appliances are designed to run on 240 volts (hot leg) and a neutral leg, not 2 120 volt hot legs. And I have no idea what your "neutral and ground hooked up together" comment references.
