240 50 cycle used in US, 60 cycle

I am looking for a cheap way to bring induction to a small cabin I use in rural Vermont. I am a frequent traveler to China and see fine looking induction units for a fraction of the US cost (I know the perils of no UL certification, but have a good guide in China to separate the wheat from the chaff.) But I haven't been able to ascertain, despite a fair amount of searching, what the affect of using the 50 cycle equipment in a 60 cycle environment. Most advice says if you have a motor to run, it is a no go. Electronics appear to be OK, what do I have with an induction cooktop?

Anybody care to weigh in?
