After graduating from the same Japanese national university as my brother, he went to work for one of Japan's largest automakers and I jumped into the high-tech industry in California. Even though my brother has passed retirement age, he is still working for his retirement and does not seem to have time to take care of my mother. A rich life varies from person to person, but I believe that supporting your parents in their retirement, even if only financially, is an important part of a rich life. From California, I feel that it is important to look back to the days in Japan when people worked hard during their working years and left home to work as migrant workers in order to support their parents in their old age.

I have a simple question why you are posting in the Hawaii Exchange Plaza.

From my experience of living in other states, and this is just my subjective opinion, many Japanese families living in Hawaii are wealthy.
On the contrary, there are quite a few who receive assistance from their parents. My parents frequently come to Hawaii to visit me.

I think there are more people in the same situation in the exchange forum in LA than in the exchange forum in Hawaii.

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.
