Will our food mixer work in Oz?
Hi there everyone,
When we came to Australia a while ago, we brought with us a food mixer.
This item means a lot to us, and is approx 20 years old, but it really does the job, it mixes all sorts of food and everything.
This still has the standard UK 3 pin plug on it, we have decided to try and get it to work.
Can anyone advise us if it will work over here?
I know it has the same voltage and everything, but if I took it to a shop do you think they would convert it to an Oz type mixer??
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers

As for the food mixer, not only does it mix the other way round, but it has to be on the ceiling while mixing, you are in down-under land remember where everything is upside down
