    I bought a cheap electric coffee grinder on E-bay and it came with a US plug but was still 220V AC. Why would they make a coffee grinder with a US plug when the USA uses 110V AC?

    we do use 220 here....but its mostly just for larger appliances or tools

    the smaller plug simply looks like the regular 110 except one prong is perpendicular (20a)....the heavy duty one is gigantic

    edit:

    I just realized op isn't in the states, and doesn't need 220 to 110 conversion

    it could be a dual voltage


    my plasma cutter works on 110 or 220...it senses automatically what its plugged in to

    the 220 works way better though
