Hi,

Is it worth bringing items which work on 220-240V/50Hz ?
Please share your experiences.

Thanks

I can be wrong but I don't think in Canada anything runs 220-240 V/50hz

You would need a lot of power converters (step down transformers). If you have WVR apps then they would still work in Canada.

Thanks for the replies.

Checked out some converters.
Step down transformers are expensive for high wattage apps.
I am planning to get only the WVR apps.
