    Can anyone advise? My sister is moving back to ireland from canada and shipping some house hold goods. Can she use her canadian fridge/freezer and what would she need to do to convert the voltage for ireland.
    thanks

    It would probably be better to try to the Rec>>Home & Garden forum...

    But the simple answer would more than likely be no she can't use her Candian fridge here...

    She would need a very large transform, which would be able to handle the current to start the fridge compressor... the transformer itself would be quite expensive, and very inefficient...

    I'd say she would be better of just buying a fridge here...
