continued from above:
(all on a 50 cycle/sec) work properly in the USA if I use a step up transformer. (The USA is 60 cycle/ sec)?"

Perhaps the link will help. At a minimum, you risk voiding your warrant if you use other that the voltage and frequency required on the unit name plates. At worse you risk injury and a possible fire if you really don't know what you are doing. Good luck.

Yes it can be purchased in countries like india and pakistan coz they work on 220 volts. And you just need a step down trasnformer to step the voltage down from 220v to 110v. Thats what you need to your dryer, air conditioner and other stuff.

yes they will work if you use a step-down transformer from 220v to 110V , frecvency doesnt matter in this case , becouse these devices doesnt relate to frecvency like a TV or radio do.
of course there are electonic adapters that transform the frecvency too , from 60hz , to 50hz.

No, the increase in cycles will burn up your equipment... especially the motors.
Better to sell them and buy the domestic equivalents here.

technically the ac motors/compressors in those appliance will spin that little bit faster due to the different hz.
