US kettles take forever because they run at half power 15A @ 110V vs 13A @ 240V. In the UK the kettle will be boiled by the time you put teabags in all the cups

Never order tea while out in the US, you'll get a cup of cooling water with a teabag in a paper sachet by the side...
- cr1895 10y agoAh, so that's why my electric tea kettle in the NL is so very much nicer than any I've ever used in the US. I ordered it from Amazon UK and got a plug adapter and it's fantastic. Wasn't even expensive.
