When I moved to Fiji (uses same electric as Oz) about 8 years ago I took over an US built-in stove and other US appliances. The stove never worked properly with the 220/240 phasing issues. However, all my other US items worked fine using step-down transformers. US TVs and DVD don't work with the local as US uses NTSC and Oz uses PAL. So, my TV only worked with my US DVD players and video games.
