> (slightly more) dangerous 230 to the much safer 110 should be considered as well... Thanks, I prefer my kettle to boil in 3 minutes, not 30. And 110V is still way more than any "non-lethal" voltage. Considering what the most deaths from the contact with the electricity is the result of doing something extremely stupid - I don't think it would make a noticeable difference. More so, knowing people it would make more deaths, because "it is safer now!".

We have 240v appliances in the US. We have split phase power where we have 120v going to most things and 240v circuits run specifically to higher power devices. We just don’t put them in bedrooms and living rooms.

I have a 110 volt electric kettle, and it does not take 30 minutes to boil.
