Hi

I think you should expect a washing machine, fridge and cooker as standard. Not sure about TV and microwave. There was a microwave in our house when we bought it so maybe it is standard nowadays.
Kitchen utensils aren't generally included so if you regularly use a pressure cooker I would bring that as I don't think they are very common here - most other things are though so you can get them when you arrive.
Maybe you can ask the employer what is available in the house as you want to know what to bring with you.
Good luck with your move.

Hi hkann,

You would have to look into what is permitted to bring and what sort of duty you would have to pay.
How much you would have to spend depends on what you are going to buy and the quality etc. Things are more expensive here but then you have to consider the cost of shipping and the duty. Also lots of people are only on short term contracts here and so when you arrive you can look on accraexpat.com and see if anyone is selling what you want. We have bought a lot of things from people who are leaving.
By the way I don't know if you mean a pressure cooker or a rice cooker. My grandmother had a pressure cooker which she used on top of the stove. Rice cookers are very common here.
