Hello Everyone,
I've been ready this site for a while and I couldn't find the answers so I am hoping you can help me.
We are planning a move from the US to Singapore this August. I am debating to take the following items:
1) Lamps. I understand that I can get all the lamps to be rewired to 220Voltage but is that really practical versus just leaving this stuff in the US and then buying new lamps in SG?
2) Vacuum cleaner. I understand I can get a high end converter but is it practical and it would cost me $300US to get on. Plus, it doesn't really work that well since I have a motor attached and it won't be that efficient. I have never used these things before so any practical knowledge would be helpful.
3) Webber Grill. I understand it is quite expensive to get a grill in SG so I am planning to purchase a new one to take with us. Wise move or wishful thinking that we can grill at a condo?
4) Kitchen appliances. I have seen threads that cuts both ways on this issue. Should I take my kitchen appliances and try my luck with an non high end adaptor or should I leave all at home?
5) King mattress. We don't have housing yet and I don't know how big the apartments will be so I am inclined not to take our king mattress and just wait to purchase a new one in SG. My husband would like to take our mattress because he has back problems and if it doesn't fit then we can dispose of it in SG. However my concern is that we will have to pay someone to come in to remove the mattress and then pay a dumpster charge and it could be a hassle. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance for your response. Also, if these questions have already been addressed earlier, kindly direct me to them and I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my response.
