Re: MOVING BACK - VOLTAGE QUESTION
We sold our house near Toronto today and will be relocating back to a North East seaside town in March 2014. Exciting!!
Question; We have a few items that we would like to take back that are 110Volts...Treadmill, Bose system, domestic Pressure Washer and the like. If I use a step down transformer in the UK (240 v down to 110 v) will this work OK?...has anyone got experience of this?

Re: MOVING BACK - VOLTAGE QUESTION
Sorry if I'm hijacking. Has anyone brought a KitchenAid Professional Mixer back to the UK (from Canada or the U.S.)? They're like $600 new so don't really want to replace it. We're not bringing anything that heats up as I've had less than stellar experiences with overheating.

Someone on another site brought a KitchenAid mixer back, and has had no problems. If the transformer is heavy enough, should be fine as long as you aren't using it for many hours every day.

. It's just used weekly for a batch of muffins, cookies etc for the family so pretty light usage but it's very good quality so not keen to replace it.
