    To my knowledge, they’re not very common in the US because their low voltages in households means that kettles take ages to boil.

      Relevant Technology Connections-video on the subject: https://youtu.be/_yMMTVVJI4c

      iirc, the power thing made a slight difference but probably doesn’t explain the issue entirely.

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/_yMMTVVJI4c

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

        Yeah, I’m an American tea drinker, always have used an electric kettle. It still just takes a couple minutes or something, nothing major. I think it’s just fewer tea drinkers, maybe.
