Depends.
Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them.
If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.

Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
Can you plug a 230V 50Hz bread maker bought in Germany into a 220V 60Hz outlet in Manila Philippines?
no way because frequency cannot change
Will a 220V 60Hz Air-conditioner run safely at 230V 50Hz?
Not really because motors are designed to run at either 50 or 60 Hz and the wrong frequency might cause them to malfunction or overheat.
Is 50Hz to 110V as 60Hz is to 220V?
No. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?

Can you plug kettle 220V 50hz into 220V 60hz outlets?
Yes, no problem.
What has to be done to connect 220v 50Hz refrigerator to 220v 60Hz power supply?
nothing
Will a device that is rated as 110V AC 60Hz and 3A work with a step down convertor with 220V to 110V and 50Hz rating?
Depending on the device, it may or may not work. And if it works, it won't work properly. A 60Hz devices needs 60 cycle current, not 50.

Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Can 220v 50hz CPU computer run 220 60hz power supply?
No
What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
