This thread is highly topical to say the least.
We have a high end US Bosch 'Nexxt' WFMC6400us front loader washing machine that is clearly from the same model family as the ($NZ3,099 gulp !) NZ Bosch 'Logixx 9' WBB24750AU. What is it with Bosch anyway, is their 'x' key stuck.
Anyway, a transformer, already purchased, can convert the voltage to 240V no worries. However, the specs on the US model only states 120V/60 Hz. Doesn't necessarily mean it won't work at 50 Hz but will it ?, More specifically will it work at all or will it sort of work (spin at 1000 rpm instead of 1200 rpm, take 6 minutes to wash instead of 5 minutes, neither of which would be a show stopper) ?
No one so far, including Bosch NZ, has been able to answer this, and it seems the only way to know for sure is either we try it for ourselves. But perhaps someone else has already performed the experiment .........
So any insights on this would be welcome, especially because the container is (hopefully) loading in a couple of days, and we still are not sure whether to ship the washing machine or not.
