#120125 - "AC" motor
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If, by AC motor, you mean an induction motor, then the inverter methods are the way to go. If you mean a universal motor, then a triac will work fine. Most washing machines use universal motors, with a moderaely clever driver (positional feedback on the motor shaft). Dirt cheap.

Brushless DC motors in meaningful power ratings are NOT dirt cheap .

What power do you need to handle ?
