We have an electric kettle in the US and it runs just fine drawing 1500W. You're correct that the dryer is on a larger circuit, though.

- beAbU 2y ago> and it runs just fine drawing 1500W. You think that this is "just fine" because you've never experienced the glory that is a 3kW kettle!
- rootusrootus 2y agoI just get 99C water from a tap next to my kitchen sink. Why do people still use kettles?

- dymk 2y agoBecause they don’t have a spare few grand for an instant hot plus installation
- rootusrootus 2y agoYou’re off by an order of magnitude. They are a couple hundred bucks and an easy DIY job.
- dymk 2y agoIt's a couple hundred bucks if you can DIY it, which most people cannot or are not willing to do
- fragmede 2y agoJapanese water boilers keep it boiling so there's no wait at all!
- blibble 2y agoI get bored and tend to wander off waiting for it to boil at 3kW 1.5kW must be absolute agony
- lolinder 2y agoI mean... yes, I don't sit around waiting for the kettle to boil. But if I fill it and start it first the water is already boiling by the time I get everything out, so it's not like any time is wasted as is.
