I just went to check, and I see that you have already multi-posted in the LA exchange square.
Was it that multi-post lover...

I would like to ask those who live in Hawaii.
We are planning to move from Japan to Hawaii next year, and we would like to know if you have brought any appliances from Japan ？
We are thinking of bringing a hair dryer, rice cooker, Dyson vacuum cleaner, etc. from Japan
Do we still need a transformer, etc.? ？ I think that many of the recent home appliances are written to be compatible up to 110v ～ 120v, but I would like to know if anyone is actually using them.

Most electrical appliances （ such as TVs, radios, audio equipment, PCs, etc. ） will work as they are. However, items with high power consumption （ such as hair dryers, futon dryers, etc. ） are dangerous because the heat value of the heater increases by 40% and they become too hot. Those with an overheat detection safety function will turn off immediately. I use a transformer for microwave ovens and futon dryers. Items that use lithium batteries （ Dyson vacuum cleaners, etc. ） When the batteries reach the end of their useful life, lithium batteries cannot be imported from Japan, so you should check if Dyson batteries sold in the US can be used without modification. （ Of course, if you intend to throw them away when they reach the end of their useful life, that is fine. ） The charger works fine. Most houses here have old-fashioned electric heaters （ with nichrome wires ） so it is difficult to control the heat. I bought a new induction range. Portable induction heater （ 1kw ） is working without transformer.

Thank you SJDummy for your reply.
I am not sure how to use this site, so I posted on a completely different topic …

One summer day, the grasshopper spends his time playing the violin and singing. Meanwhile, the ants are hard at work bringing food home for the coming winter.

The grasshopper said to the ant, "You don't have to carry food all the way home, we have plenty," to which the ant replied, "We have plenty now, but come winter there will be no food. But the grasshopper replied, "Summer has just begun. Why don't you spend your time singing happily?" He teased the ant and began to play the violin again.

Soon it was autumn, and the grasshopper was still playing and living.

Then winter came. The grasshopper looked for food, but there was nothing around. The grasshopper, hungry and distressed, remembered that the ants were gathering food, so he went to the ants' house to ask them to share their food with him.

The grasshopper remembered that he had teased the ant for working during the summer and was afraid he would not share his food, but the ant said, "Please eat. In return, please let me hear the grasshopper's fiddle".

The grasshopper rejoiced with tears and played his violin with great enthusiasm. And from the next summer, he began to work diligently.

What I'm trying to say is don't sell your labor （ your time ） cheap.

The atmosphere has changed dramatically with the new mutant and omicron stocks. Locked down in many countries.
Breakthrough infections are also appearing and they are highly contagious. In Japan, new waterfront measures have been announced and the way out is again unknown. There is a possibility that the number of places to work in the future will also decrease.

With mutant strains being discovered one after another, companies doing business in countries and regions where tourism is a major industry must be having a hard time. Companies in the tourism and restaurant industries, where labor costs account for a large percentage of expenses, are having a hard time securing human resources. Even if you want to provide your employees with good working conditions, you are still burdened with the burden of health insurance and other company expenses. I would like to ask all business owners not to give up and to continue their efforts to protect employment, even if only a little.
