Hi, I know many people have asked about bringing US electrical goods to Singapore.
What about UK electrical goods ie. Food Mixers, Laptop,Lamps etc.
Thanks

All UK electrical stuff will work fine in Singapore, just plug them in and off you go.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I won't blame the forum if its old and sets alight. As most of our things are still in boxes ( new) it will be fine.
Will I need to change plugs?

Ironically although all the electrical goods I brought from the UK are fine most of the electrical products I have purchased here in Singapore are 2 pin and require adapters!

Lol, so true of small stuff like a mobile phone or air ionizer. You come home and suddenly it's like "oh, European plug."
