But you can't plug up to a 3.1kW device into any outlet you like anywhere in the house. Power tools, fan heaters, kettles, irons, two things on one adapter, there are so many things that half the power just ain't enough for. It's so much more convenient in the UK to be able to power anything in any room from any socket.

How much portable 3KW equipment do you have? It is pretty hard to find
anything you can carry around except your 2kw tea pots that is more
than 1440w. We are not in that big a hurry to drink tea ... or drink
tea at all.
I drink iced tea but I cold brew that.


2.4kW actually, and they're called kettles. How the **** do you heat hot water to make coffee, tea, or to put in a saucepan to cook food?

And there's a 2.2kW angle grinder sat to my left. Where the **** would you plug that in in your home?




Being in the USA, I wouldn't be so stupid as to buy a 240V grinder
knowing that our voltage is 120V. I'd buy a 120V, 2200 Watt one,
like this Dewalt that I could plug in.

Anything else I can help you with today?


Your outlets don't do 2.2kW.
