110 voltage equipment on adapters

Is there anything wrong with running some 110 equipment on adapters? We intend to ditch most of our 110 stuff (such as lighting), but there are 1-2 items like our stereo and fancy vacuum cleaner that we really like. Should I bring these?

those step down transformer (240 to 110) are OK if you gonna use it for a short period of time, although you can get some heavy duty ones. i used to have one for my cordless fone but after a while i just got a new fone locally.
the transformer does run hot and i dont think it is very energy efficient (yeah, bad carbon footprint). in the long run, it is better to get your electrical stuff locally.
