Re: [importing] electrical equipment - ins & outs

Hi,
I am moving from Canada to Lugano this month and need some help regarding appliances. We are not bringing most appliances (tv, washing machine, etc.), but are trying to see if it is worth bringing our treadmill. It costs us no extra to bring it. But, can I get a new plug for it or use a converter? It's 120 volts, 60 HX, and 9.5 amps, and is a typical north american 3 prong plug (which I know will not fit w/out an adapter). My concern with just using an adapter is that we'll end up burning out the motor or causing a fire.

Can anyone tell me if I can get it converted to a CH type plug? If so, where would I do this? Any idea on how much it could cost?

THANKS!
