We have booked our removals and the rep. suggested that some electrical items couldbe taken with us. However he would not commit to anything as he had heard of people getting all sorts of things to work. We just wanted to know if simple things such as our Dyson would work with an adaptor. Any other advice would be greatly received.

Thanks

As a new member to the forum can I suggest you have a look around the Canada Wiki pages, you'll find them extremely informative and very helpful.

Thanks Lynne

Look on stickers on the items if they say 100v-240v you will be fine, if not it's the car boot sale im affraid Also dont bother with TV's , as a rule the probably wont work

Hi
most small stuff will work via a transformer, bigger stuff no good.
we brought two virtually new TV's that have the three r/b/g ? input plugs.
we get canadian tv by putting the signal thro' a cheap DVD recorder from walmart and then into the TV via the three inputs.
the other TV is for the kids games machine.
remember to pack plenty of UK four/six way extension leads and put a canadian plug on the end, it works great for charging cell phones etc ..
we ended up asking all visitors to bring one out ...
cheers
Jerry
