From a purely consumer/user perspective, what is the better choice when choosing between the same appliance that is available in 110v & 220v models?

Question

Most of the answers to this question that I’ve searched for here and on google get into a lot of technical stuff, intended more for people who are building electronics. I want to understand – from a consumer perspective, someone looking to purchase whichever model is best for them – the pro’s & cons, and if there’s any particular reason to choose 100v over 220v when given the option, for something like a house fan.

In that context – a house fan for example – would the 110v model be less strong/effective than the 220v model?

Is there anything important to note if buying from a bargain site vs. a well known tech company?

Thanks!

Honestly, it is more a question of where you are located than performance.Only USA and few other countries use 120v voltage as a standard voltage. Most other countries use 220v. So unless you are planning to custom wire your home stick to what is standard in your country.
