Household appliances wouldn't work without some kind of transformer, and/or adapter. Their power grid runs at a different voltage to us (110volts I think?).
As for car stuff, if it's designed to run at 12 volts. It will work. AM/FM radio spectrums are different though so that may not work.
As far as I know American cars run at at 12 volts.

TV might not work as America runs the NTSC system where as we run the PAL system.
DVD player might be locked to region 1 too.
As said above they run on 110V @ 60Hz
Some things have internal transformers and don't care if they get 110V or 240V.
Some things do.
Some things have a switch between the two
Some things don't.
