Moving to the UK and appliances

I'm looking for some advice re moving overseas with appliances 🙏🙏
Specifically US to UK.
I would ideally like to bring back my fridge, washing machine and TV. I'm wondering if realistically I should just try to sell them here and buy news ones once we're there. They're all fairly new.
Also smaller things like laptops, hairdryers, kettle, toaster etc.
Any other advice gratefully received!!

You need to check on the power supply what it says - if they say 110-240 (or is it 220..) then they should work fine with adapter.

If not, they'll need a step up/down transformer which isn't worth doing unless it's especially sentimental to you.

We went uk to ca and back, took some with us that needed transformers that weren't worth it. Brought back the TVs and they all work fine here (on fire stick not through tv aerial).

So unlikely for fridge/washing machine. Should be ok with tv but check the power supply/info to be sure. Wouldn't bother with hair dryer, small appliances etc - easier to get here. (I would bring a kitchen aid!)
