I need to buy a 110 V mixie for use in Canada. I thought I would need to specially order one. But a dealer I contacted told me he has ready stock of 110V mixie of Preeti brand. He said it is from the South and is very reliable.
Never heard of this brand here in Mumbai.
Would appreciate feedback from members who are familiar with this brand or suggestions for alternatives.

Thanks. So the brand is good then?
Not looking for a high end versatile food processor type but just a simple mixer grinder.

well its good i also have the 220v version which was bought in 04,no issues whats so ever ,its obviously quite a lot cheaper then the 110v versions costs around 3k.
there is another cheaper 110v model i believe costs about 2k cheaper then the chef pro plus 110v.
the prices i am saying is in 2003 it may be cheaper now.since its available in the US for $145 ,the chef pro plus costs about $185 in the US.
 
Yeah that sounds more like it. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone else with feedback on this brand Preethi?
 
Buy a reliable 220V and pick up a step-down transformer of appropriate wattage readily available on Ebay for around USD 40-50. That's what my niece did in the U.S. and they work with absolutely no issues.

That's not such a good idea. It just adds one more component of unreliability. One more component to the cost. One more component to the baggage that must be carried.
A 110V mixie should not be in any way less reliable than a 220V one. Just a difference in the motor winding. Therefore I believe a mixie from any decent manufacturer with its motor wound for 110V should be fine.

well buying convertors work for electronics but not electrical appliances,especially one that has a motor.
the reason being a 220v mixie is designed to work at 50hz where as a 110v is designed to run at 60hz,which will effect the RPM of the motor,in this case it will run faster.
 
Thanks for the suggestions specially adder and hp-india. I bought a Preethi Eco Pro 110V package for Rs 3500.

This company seems very well geared towards catering to NRI customers. Their 110V package is quite classy and comes with a set of spares as well as instructions on a CD rather than a printed manual. I know a printed manual would cost more but overall, I found a lot of care given in coming up with this package.
