Famag Mixer - Europe to USA?
Hello all,
I want to purchase a Famag IM-8. In America, they run for about $2,000... And Pleasant Hill is going to price hike soon. On European websites, they're only about $1,000... Are there any European companies that ship to the USA and also sell an IM-8 with a US plug?
Regards

Kooky, check different threads on the Pizza Making Forum.

Some have bought from sources outside the country with success, others not. You will have to get an adapter on your own for the power source. Some have had warranty issues and then it's long distance.
Just my 2¢, I'd pay the extra for the proper electrical system and a US company to deal with in case of issues. But do go thru the Pizza Making links. Lots of options there beyond the Famag even.

I agree with Dave. The Euro models will be 240v units which will require either 240v service, or a voltage regulator. The power cords will require at least a plug change, and the regulator may affect the speed control electronics. Besides, the shipping will probably approach $1000. Just bite the bullet, and buy a US model from PHG. Jim
