Anyway to use European Microwave in US?
Hello, long story short... I've been staying in France and purchased a grill-microwave. I have not seen any type of microwave like this in the US (Or a combination microwave **Basically grill/convection oven/microwave in one**, for that matter) and would like to keep/use it in the US.
Here is the microwave.

The main issue I assume would be the voltage difference of 220 for EU vs 110 for the US. I know there are converters for such changes, but for something this power intensive I doubt they could be used.
In short, is there any way I could safely use this microwave in the US? If it's not possible, I'll have to sell it, which I would rather not do since it's very convenient with the grill option built in.
TY for any help/suggestions you can give.
Voltage conversion alone is not enough. Microwave ovens are designed to operate on only one line frequency, either 50 or 60 Hz, and not both as are many other appliances. The line frequency in Europe is 50 Hz but in the US it is 60 Hz. So along with a voltage converter you'll need a line frequency converter, which is not at all as inexpensive as a voltage converter.
