1. It won't work..possibly at all... definitely very very poorly at best. Possible for the motor to suffer damage.
2. You'd need a TRANSFORMER.

It would likely be cheaper to buy a blender on arrival.

It depends how sophisticated the device is. If it's just a simple engine with an on/off switch, it would still keep moving but more slowly as the voltage kept decreasing. But just half of the original rating might not be enough to make it move at all. Anything more complicated, i.e. with at least some electronics as is common now, is more likely not to work at all; however I'd say it's unlikely to suffer any damage.

If it doesn't work, you'd need a transformer, and not just any but a huge one for this power rating. It'll be at least 10 kg and while running, it'll make a buzzing sound and heat up. It's not really worth it to go this route unless the blender is very special and/or expensive, or you have other stuff you'd use the transformer with. Here's an idea what a suitable transformer looks like more or less:

Me thinks the subject is a bit outside of the Travel Technology board mission: Business travel includes cell phones, computers and more. Does that mean just digital cameras are allowed on regular travel? What works where, when and why not..
