Just for reference: IKEA has a countertop model that runs on 240V 10A (2kW; 175mm), sold for 39.90 EUR in Germany. Subtracting VAT and converting to USD, that's a hair under 40 USD pre-tax. I expect that proper adapters from NEMA 240V to Schuko are legal to operate? If so, you'd be cheaper off just importing these (104.867.94). Yeah, I know I'm comparing against walk-in store products. Still.
