Would my American appliances work in Doha with a voltage converter?

I expect that it would, but need to make sure before I buy that 60" TV :D

Thanks Blackburn... yup, I'll get my stuff there... although I kinda wanna keep my kitchen (smaller) utensils - I got a converter for these.

As for the TV or whatever, I'll get there :) Gracias!

Dear ZuperZue, Ditch your electro stuff there, get a new one, its pretty cheap here. if you are still cranky about ur electro stuff, i think you will get something like a Step Up Down Voltage Converter. Good Luck.

Crap - so my stuff won't work there?

So far I just have kitchen utensils... I can get my TVs there then.

Voltage converter will convert 220volts to 110volts, however you should also take into consideration the difference in Frequency. USA appliances runs at 60Hz frequency while Qatar's voltage runs at 50Hz.
