I think Americans boil their water in the microwave.
Turns Out, America Only Just Discovered The Electric Kettle & The Internet Is Going Wild
I remember this sweep over the internet. Considering the speed and simplicity of kettles for decades, what a weird thing to see of Americans. Especially since they made the first one ever.
Historically kettles never really caught on because we only have 110v power, so our kettles are bogus compared to nearly everywhere else in the world.
That demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of how electricity works.
Voltage is only half the power equation. The other half is current. Power = voltage x current
So if a kettle on 110V can draw twice the current, it will have exactly the same amount of power and will heat the water in exactly the same amount of time as a kettle on 220V that draws half the current.
Bro, 15a is pretty much standard with 20a outlets being the exception. Still, most appliances are only 1500w in the US.
Yes obviously you could custom make a 4500w kettle that ran on 115v but nobody sells one.
Your comment demonstrates a fundamental ignorance... What? Who talks like that. Stupid pedantic fool.
Aw, did I hurt your feefees? :(
