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...

Jeroen3:
The idea of shitty power probably comes from the grid time deviation we experienced begin 2018.
