Electronics are a bit dicey with the exception of Computers. TV are a completely different format (NTSC v. PAL). If you have a nice TV to bring over it won't work here because of the signal format. Think in terms of PC to Apple. You can't get there from here.

All other appliances would be a waste. I know that when I was in Germany the Washer dryers were a much smaller capacity. Refrigerators are different as well I believe.

DVD Players would be useless unless you bought your DVD from Oversees and shipped them. The local Blockbuster only has US region code DVDs. Games are the same way. The current issue is easily solved with Step Down Converters as noted. It is the formatting issues of today's technology that is the issue.
