That is really a Canadian thing. They like having two 120v circuits on
one yoke in the kitchen. It is not that common in the US.

Really handy to be able to run the toaster and the coffeemaker or
kettle side by side without running cords across the contertop - and
without tripping the breaker or blowing the fuse - - -

But American kettles are only a few hundred watts :-)
And most of them still use the ****ing stove to heat water.

Most Americans would ask, what's a kettle?

We don't drink that much tea and coffee comes from a coffee maker.

Don't you cook anything in boiling water? Are you really a third world country?

If they just want a cup of hot water they throw it in the microwave.

Which takes ages to heat anything, the output is roughly only one kilowatt.

a couple minutes is not ages.

Especially when most times you have other things you can be doing
in the meantime. IK guess JWS can't multitask, he just sits there
waiting for his kettle, can't do anything else, one small step at
at time. He could fire up that 2200 watt 9" angle grinder he keeps
harping about and cut up some steak or polish his nails while waiting.

I want to have a drink when I'm thirsty, not later on. That's why I never go to restaurants, why the **** does anyone want to wait half an hour to be fed? Why do you think McDonalds took off?
