KitchenAid Kenny

KitchenAid Kenny delivered some devastating news yesterday: I can't use my beloved mixer here- not even with converters or transformers. : ( 

According to Mr. Kenny Running 60 Hz appliances in a 50 Hz environment forces the motor in your appliance to run at a slower speed, and can potentially cause immediate motor or operational failure.  Then there was some chatter about fire.  

I've already lost one KitchenAid (my beautiful yellow one) to over-taxing the motor; I don't think I could handle the loss of a second.  Damn.  It will now have to live, for a time, next to the vacuum cleaner & box of onions.  The wrongness of it all.
