For less than a few batteries you can buy a proper isolated 240-120V transformer with US socket on the front. Go search your favourite auction site for "120V converter".

I have such a device running my flatbed photo scanner which is a US unit. Works fine. The smaller ones are just like a wall wart with a US socket on the front.

No messing about required - probably cheaper than a shaver socket..
