    Our typical US 120V household outlets can’t pull that much power. Most electric kettles here draw about 1.5 kW.

    Could run a 240V circuit (or tap into the oven/range 240V circuit I suppose) and use an imported UK kettle. I’ve heard of people here actually doing this, but I can live with the slower boil times 😄
