You're missing one big thing - there's only one country that has horrendous consumer rights laws and a huge market, and 110v electric

Well worth making models just for that one market

ahem the actual standard is 120volts, but can tolerate down to 110volts

That's irrelevant to the advice in this thread

Hope you get your adenoids sorted

If there's only one country that uses 110v, you have to make an appliances for that country specifically. If that country has really shitty consumer rights laws, why not also make the appliances shitty?

Damn… it’s all a 110 volt conspiracy
