I want a Breville Smart Oven Air: the Smart Oven Air® - https://www.breville.com/us/en/products/ovens/bov900.html

But they only seem to be available from countries which use 110-120V. It's 1800W.

Is the only option a huge transformer, and if so what specification would I need? And would running it for long periods of time (e.g. when using the dehydrating function) or at the top end of its power demand be an issue in that case?

Or is it possible to get a US socket fitted in my home, and if so how would that compare price-wise to the transformer? I mean I assume it would basically be a transformer, but hidden in the wall.

Or are there any other ways of doing it? Pros and cons of any of the options welcome.
 
Alright so, funny thing happened: i tested the transformer in a couple of outlets outside the kitchen and it worked fine. Not working in any of the outlets in the kitchen... any possible explanation for that?
Hi - likely kitchen outlet circuit has tripped. Go to fuse board and look for one switch that’s in the off position. Hopefully it will click back on. Confirm outlets now working with a lamp or kettle etc. Report back :) .

Hi,

Nothing in the fuse box has tripped, it’s just the breaker on the transformer.
 
Dino,

Is your box full of breakers (trips) or fuses?

You said earlier that the kitchen sockets were no longer working?

So you might have to reset a trip or replace a fuse.

Oh i see, no the fuse box is a bit more sophisticated than that.

The kitchen sockets are working fine, it’s the transformer that keeps tripping whenever i plug it in the kitchen though...
