elecrical appliances

You are on zone 4 for electrical appliances, how many volts is that?

How much is a transformer from European to Aruban, when you buy it on the island?
Are there shops for second hand electrical appliances? Many thanks

Same as the United States

Whatever you would need to make your stuff work in the United States take to Aruba.
Aruba works on the same voltage(115AC/60 cycles) as the States.

We lived for five years in Aruba. Had some appliances we brought from Holland and used a converter which we bought locally. This is several years ago but with the steady stream of Duthch people going to live and work there for a few years, I assume you can still buy such converters.

Re: elecrical appliances

Thanks, I am coming from Belgian and i have been advised to bring no equipment which seems a shame to start over again. I'd love to hear from some Dutch person, if they brought things like Kettles and irons and other simple things like this and if the converter costs more than the item! What website do the locals use?
Thanks
