which appliances to take?
hi there, my first post but i've been reading around for a few weeks. i'm an american and he's english, and we've been here in the UK for several years. now we're moving to the US for 2-3 years.
we've got several gadgets that we're not sure what to do with. i blew up a printer when i first moved here before i learned about step down converters, and want to avoid killing equipment wherever possible.
for example, our ice cream maker (which we use a lot). it's got moving parts, so i know it would need a converter of some kind. is it expensive/complicated to get what must be a step up converter? would we be better off just selling ours here and buying one over there?
we're also getting married this summer, and alongside that fun there is the registry issue. as we don't know where we'll be living in the long term, which is more useful/versatile to have-- US or UK appliances? i'm talking about mixers, food processors, etc. don't want to treat a nice food processor as disposeable.
thanks in advance!
