I would never undertake this for myself or a customer, period.

For an $800 machine? I bloody would find a way to make it work.

why not first plug it into a 220 outlet (I'm sure you've got one somewhere
in your house) and see if the machine even works, before you contemplate
rewiring or running 220 to your kitchen counter?

That'd be my first try out.
