Please can someone tell me if I can bring my white goods from the UK to Spain such as Tumble Dryer, Washing Machine etc and will they work electrically wise.

Can i just plug them into a spanish euro travel plug.

Kind Regards

Ok thank you Warren

I was mainly asking because for instance some white goods are 3 times the price in Spain they are in the UK.

Hi Howard

We brought all our electrical items with us from UK, only advice would be to buy very good quality adapters as some of the cheap ones can be a fire risk.

Best wishes

Just what we did , had no problems, especially if you already have the items  it is far cheaper.  Euoropean Moving delived from UK with no problems at a good price.

Just the same . Best thing is to bring what you need , I mean u won’t save anything cos u gotta transport them too but I suppose if there all good condition then it’s best to bring em .

Watch out for undercounter fridges though if u bring one , if you bring a full width uk one it’s likely it won’t fit into the space as widest in Spain is 550mm .

As others have said - yes they will work - and we found that a good way to make it easier is to bring a good quality UK multi way and buy a good quality EU adaptor - then you can plug all your white goods in your utility room into one UK style distribution point. Then the MULTI-WAY is fused to 13 amps (will handle almost 3 kw) and gives extra protection too!
