I am in the U.S so would probobly need the 1.5x power. Another question is should go with 220v input power or 120v for my 1hp 2850rpm/3450rpm motor?

Does anyone here actual evidence that a HuanYang VFD is that bad for the price? Sometimes chinese junk is good enough. I think i'm going with them.

I recently bought an old Delta Milwaukee wood shaper that uses a 3 phase motor. The Motor is 1hp 2850rpm/3450rpm, duel volt 208-220v/440v, What VFD should I buy?
