Hi - I have a retro 60's american blender I'd like to use in the UK.
It lists on the back the following electrical info :

115 V
25-60 Cycle
5.2 Amps (!!)
575 Watts

I'm guessing I can't just use a plug converter (too much load) and if
I use a transformer it will be bigger than the blender..?

Are there any other options - anyone know a company that will convert
- re-wire etc ?

It is probably technically possible to rewire it.
However, it will cost lots more than the appropriate size of isolation
transformer. (which you could conceal, as long as it has ventilation).

A 600W transformer (or better, an 800W) one would be fine.
Screwfix have a 3000W one for 50 quid or so, so you'll be looking at
paying somewhat less.
