AFAIK, there should be no safety problems.
There are quite a few models in the market. Korean and Japanese brands.
Mostly for instant water heaters. The unit is connected between the 220 volt

Basically it works like this. It removes a few input power cycles.

So, less power input means it takes longer to heat the water / the hot water
