I've heard people say that the reason Americans don't use electric kettles is because we only use 120V which heats water far too slowly. But I completely disagree.
Sure, 240V kettles are faster. But the main reason is far more simple. We have freaking microwaves. We already have a device designed to heat water. Why would we need too of them?
