Before I left for Europe, I checked out voltage converters here in the US.
For about $25 or so, a 100 watt transformer can be purchased that can be
used as either a step-up or step-down transformer. I suspect 100 watts is
the maximum short term draw, and continuous is most likely about 60 watts or
so.
