I would try and get the equipment converted before you leave. It sounds like you're permanently moving there. You'll be happier with the gear converted. I moved from the US to UK and sold what made sense, converted what I was able to and bought when I arrived. I actually bought a massive hospital grade transformer for a treadmill that the manufacturer, Landis, refused to convert for me. They said I had to sell it and buy new there. I think it was about $300 so not horrible. What area of the US do you live. I may have a few things for you as I'm back in the US now but still have a bunch of stuff.
