Again, this is a similar model (FLF244) but it seems to be in noir only.
And here at last is the question! Why is this is rated at 2200 watts? Do
French electrics not support 3 KW appliances? How do they handle high load
appliances such as heaters, cookers, etc.?


As far as I understand it, they are simply catering for French
electrics, which generally is lower rated than here.

If they were to sell 3kw kettles in france then a number of older
French houses would catch fire.
