    At 110V that’s a 20A kettle. So you aren’t getting that high of wattage kettle in the US. Most standard US residential breakers are only 20A (some are only 15A) and they aren’t designed to continuously run near the max amperage so the biggest we can run on a “normal” circuit is probably around a 1760W kettle but it would also have to be the only thing running on that circuit at the time.

      Unless you run a dedicated 220v circuit to your kitchen or tap the kettle into an electric car charger 🧏
