I...what? I do, most of my friends do. They're amazing.

120V vs 240V.

One has much more power available to achieve the same in a different time.

For example: I can easily boil 0.5L to 100°C of water in about 2-3min.
And the kettle is rated for 2kW.

actually that the why they are slower. most plug in devices in the usa are limited to 1.5 Kw. weather you used a 120v or 240v current it would just change how many amps it draws

That's very true. With that said, I still find 110v kettles to be pretty fast for my needs. Especially if just making a single cup.

I have a small cast iron kettle that I usually microwave.

it makes spicy water.

Three reasons I can think of.

  • Americans don't drink much tea. And soo...

  • Not many stores carry electric kettles.

  • Microwave tea.

I use an induction kettle on the induction stove top in Australia (240v).

What does this mean? Are you talking about a Whistley kettle on a normal stove?
