I think most are quoted as a range such as 2960-3180W etc.


As kettles are, essentially, purely resistive the power is
proportional to the applied volts. Stuff is speced with a volatge
range so the lower power coresponds with the lower voltage and vice
versa. I've never done the maths to see if the calculated resistance
is the same (within reason).
