No. Whatever voltage the appliance was set to run on, it would do the same job.
To be able to do that job it must use the same amount of power, no matter at which voltage that power is delivered, for the time that you use it.
As a result, whatever voltage the appliance was set to run on, the total energy it would use in kiloWatt-hours would be practically identical.
You have to pay the power company for the kiloWatt-hours the appliance has used, not for the particular voltage at which that power was delivered.
The usual reason an appliance such as an electric shaver or a mobile phone charger is manufactured to work on either 120 volts or 240 Volts would be:
* so that it can be used in different countries along with an appropriate socket outlet adapter
* NOT so that it can be used in the same country, such as the US or Canada, where buildings have both 120 Volt circuits just for low-power appliances (such as lights, televisions, etc.) and 240 Volt circuits just for high-power appliances (such as kitchen ranges or clother driers).

Yes. Typical voltage in a residential situation may range from 105 to 125 volts and appliances will usually run fine over this range of voltages.
depends which country the washer is configured or manufactured for us in
In 110v countries, it's got a 110v plug--the motor and heater in a dishwasher aren't very large, and the unit runs fine on 110v. In 220v countries, naturally the appliance runs on 220v.
240
Do not do this.
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.
The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
Do not do this.
No.
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug

Yes, if you rewire the bed and rewire the plug on the wall to 220 volts.
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
Is the 220V plug 220V only or 110/220V? (The former will have 3 prongs and the former will have 4) If your case is the latter just use the ground, neutral, and one of the hots. This will give you 120V single phase. If the case is the former you can't get 110V off that plug.
No
220v and 110v are almost the only voltages used around the world because they are the most efficient.
You need a dedicated circuit for that. You cannot power a 220V device off 110V.
