I'm Swiss living in the US and my wife and I are considering moving back to Switzerland. We have a number of small kitchen appliances (e.g. blender or juicer -- nothing major like an oven or electric stove), naturally they only take US input voltage, and we would like to keep them and bring them with us, and I know that connecting them directly to a Swiss outlet will fry them instantly.
I thought that maybe we could pay an electrician to install something, so that for example a designated outlet in the kitchen would be wired to deliver US voltage. I don't know off the top of my head what the wattages of our appliances are, but I was thinking a ~115V / 8-10A circuit would be ample for our purposes.
Naturally we'd want this done professionally. I am aware of the existence of stepdown voltage converters that we could connect to a normal Swiss outlet and get 115V coming out of the other end, but we're looking/hoping for a more elegant solution built into the wall.
So is this possible, is this legal/up to code, can any electrician do it, etc.? Does anyone have experience with something of the sort?
Thanks!
