We live in a world in the UK where we now pretend we have a 230V supply voltage, but I have yet to find one and most are still over 240V.
I have not yet known any "230v" equipment blow up because of it.

like Dave said 253V is still classed as 230V "In the United Kingdom, the standard voltage for single-phase electricity supply is 230 volts. The allowable voltage tolerance range is typically 216.2 volts to 253 volts, this is -6% to +10%"
I would double check the suppliers info, there quite a few cheap Chinese products that can't take 250V. Buying from UK suppliers tends to avoid this little trap, buying from internet including the likes of Amazon doesn't always meet UK needs

It is the voltage on the appliance badge plus or minus 10%. 230V is 253v max. I have a supply voltage of 250v.
half right minus 6% plus 10%
