Exactly. The washer will be 220 volts, and with the amount of power it draws you would be hard pressed to get an adapter that could upconvert 120 to 220 and handle that amount of amperage.

Plus some European washers have heating elements in them to heat the water, so that would be yet another load.

I would say that by the time you get this converted, it will cost you more than buying a decent used one designed for North America.
