I am from the U.S. but I will be living in Germany for the next two years. To my knowledge, the German outlets run off 220 volts and 50 hertz. However there also is at least one 120 volt outlet in each room of my living quarters (I also think that is running off 50 hertz). I have hair clippers that I have been trying to use. The clippers run off 120 volts and 60 hertz. I have tried plugging the clippers into the 120 volt outlet and when I turn them on they make an extremely loud noise, unbearable to tolerate for 15 minutes to cut my hair. I have tried getting a 300 watt transformer that is suppose to convert the volts and hertz, however the same thing happens when I plug the clippers into that.
Any ideas of what is wrong and how I can get my clippers to work?
