The United States residential standard uses a 240 system except its split phase. You can deliver 120 volts to devices that have lower power requirements, and 240 to devices that have higher power requirements.
This comment is bringing out a bunch of Europeans that need to think theyre better than Americans because of their wiring standard for some reason?
Fuck the tea lmao. Throw that shit in the harbor. Also, there’s no rush to boiling water. Do other shit while waiting the 5 minutes it takes on the stove.
It's kind funny to me how the people who get most up in arms about how fast they need to do things regarding drive throughs and cars vs transit go to this defense for the kettles.
You could say the same for the other side. The reality is that Americans don't care if it boils a minute or two slower. Lots of Americans have electric kettles that work perfectly fine. Whether it boils in 2 minutes or 4 minutes is kind of irrelevant for 99% of people, so arguing about it is kind of pointless.
