 @Electric Pants :prince_dance:  Does it matters much ? Around here it's 220~230V with some also apparently using 240V. 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @Electric Pants :prince_dance:  It probably shouldn't. Not sure if the frequency difference is that important these days either. 
 @Scarlet :02_dance:  @Electric Pants :prince_dance:  Yeah freq difference would probably only matter for people having retro setups but maybe there's still some obscure things using the frequency as a clock signal. 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @Electric Pants :prince_dance:  
Sure, microwave clocks likely still use it, but who relies on a microwave clock? 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: some stuff would care. That's enough out of spec to shorten a motor's life. 

Most things these days (except for a few appliances) are designed to work on 100v-240v at 50Hz-60Hz so it's mostly just down to buying the right wall dongle to convert it. 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: okay that difference comes down to if it's two lives that are 120° or 180° out of phase.
