I was about to buy an isolation transformer from Screwfix, they are £99 for a 3000VA version and £89 for a 1500VA version, but all of a sudden they have no stock anywhere and no option to have one delivered either.
I saw these Bronson++ models on Amazon but was curious to know what they are like, not sure why they are using a fan in them, I wonder what the actual rating is of the transformer, I see they are using toroidal transformers possibly to get the size down a bit and that might be why but I do wonder if their rating is a bit lower than they say it is, or the transformer is lossier than it should be.
All the EI type isolation transformers I've used have never required a fan and not been remotely hot with a decent load on them.
I contacted Bronson++ a few months back to order a replacement mains socket for one of their Variacs, but they told me they do not sell spare parts nor have access to them and just told me to send it back to Amazon if it is still in warranty (It wasn't) so I assumed they completely outsource this to China and either do not do any repair in house either or were just being awkward.
It would be really interesting to see the guts on this if you're willing to open it up
