    Making better kettles is easier when your entire electric grid is optimised for it.

    Seriously, 220 volts will just always get you a faster boil than 120. It’s physics.

        We have 400V/16A, three phases, in kitchens for the proper stuff. That’s 19kW, if I remember correctly. Your strong power is like our standard power (240V/16A).
