How many VA would you need?
Conrad is a major distributor of various electronics components not limited to business only.
They sell this 250VA transformer: https://www.conrad.nl/p/block-e-jet-250-automatische-voorschakeltransformator-e-jet-250-512972
But there is also a 1000VA version. (It has a NEMA5-15 socket)

But, I don't know how large or special this cooler is... You might be better of just getting a new one.

I think all it needs is a batterizer in parallel to deal with the inrush current

As an American who’s lived in USA and Europe for about the same number of years each, I have no idea where you got the idea that Europe has “shitty” power grids. In my experience Europe does a far better job, both in terms of power quality and availability. There’s a reason why UPSs and surge protectors are super common in USA, and rarely seen here outside of data centers...

The idea of shitty power probably comes from the grid time deviation we experienced begin 2018.
