In a coffee maker. I cold brew tea.

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

Do you have a link to where I can buy one of them? What model is it?

The exact model I was going to buy, but at only £55.

Then I found a Hyundai (more reliable well known make) at £45.

These things go through concrete blocks or brick like it was butter.

I suspect you're 2200 watt rating is with a locked rotor or similar.
We have angle grinders, including 9" ones, out the whazoo that plug into
a 15A receptacle. There is no "problem".

Yeah, run a 20A device off 15A, wonderful. The rating is how much it uses typically. In the case of a hoover, that's when it's idling (more power used with more air going through it). In the case of an angle grinder, that's when you're making it cut through something. You'll find a locked rotor is way above 2200W, that's why without protection it would die in seconds.

Show us your cite for that.

I see, so you "typical use" for you is just watching a hoover idling.
You just watch it, like a TV?


(more power used with more air going through it).

Every vacuum I've seen has air going through it even when "idling".




In the case of an angle grinder, that's when you're making it cut through something. You'll find a locked rotor is way above 2200W, that's why without protection it would die in seconds.


Of course everyone but a moron would let go of the trigger in a second
or less. Still waiting for spec definitions that show what exactly
the 2200W is based on. It's very typical for worst case to be based
on locked rotor. And I've shown you spec sheets for 110v
angle grinders that also show 2200W rating. They don't require a 30A
receptacle. Bottom line, there is no problem. We regularly buy and use
even 9" angle grinders on 15A, 120v circuits. Go look at HD or similar
websites. And we live in houses
here, not industrial fabrication shops. Who even needs anything but
a modest angle grinder in a house, if at all, to begin with? Maybe
you should be concerned about changing the oil in your car instead of
how US homes are wired.

800W?! That must take hours.

OK that is about a pound of water (a pint or .5 l according to the
directions) Call it 145 BTU assuming you start with 67 F water.
800w/hr = 2730 BTU so it is about 1/19th of an hour, ~3.15 minutes.

I think you can wait 3 minutes for Ramen. (that is about as long as it
takes in my microwave too)

Most microwaves are 800 to 1000 watts, so that makes sense.

Not too long ago electric tea kettles were very common in Canada and
almost unheard of in most of the USA. I remember friends coming to
visit fromthe states back in the sixties buying several and taking
them home as gifts forfamily and friends. They had never seen them!!!

America is 3rd world compared to Canada, they were fascinated, just like Africans when you show them a mirror.

The kettle is mostly plastic so there is no heat loss. It actually heats water rather quickly. I'd basically put the amount of water I need in it and the less water, the quicker it boils. I would put water in it, plug it in and go about my other activities until I heard it whistle. I never timed it but it does the job and that's all I care about. I'd buy the ramen noodles that came in the foam cup and it takes very little water to prepare the noodles in the cup. The flat packaged noodles take a bit more water and time to prepare but it's not a problem. ^_^

I miss cooking because I'd experiment quite a lot which was fun for me. No batch of pasta sauce was ever the same and I'd make a large pot of it. I usually put ground beef and meatballs in the sauce but I've used ground turkey or ground pork. I've even put diced chicken breast in the sauce. Cooking various bits of dead animal with lifeless plant matter can be very fulfilling if one enjoys that sort of thing. Of course, I like to eat. ^_^

[8~{} Uncle Hungry Monster

Your camping kettle as we'd call it (you seem to have the same power rating as silly little portable things we run off a car battery in a tent) would take ages to make anything more than one cup of tea. What if you're going to cook a meal or make drinks for 5 people?

And a Keurig is a 1500 watt unit both in Britain and North America.
The old style "canadian" (made almost exclusively be GE Canada) tea
kettles are 1500 watts, the newer plastic "international" kettles are
1200 watts.

The 3Kw kettles days are numbered in Europe and Britain as well. The
EU is outlawing them, which means unless the UK builds them for
domestic use only, their days are numbered there too.

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?

In a coffee maker. I cold brew tea.

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

Do you have a link to where I can buy one of them? What model is it?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/VonHaus-Gri.../dp/B01MTCD0QQ

The exact model I was going to buy, but at only £55.

Then I found a Hyundai (more reliable well known make) at £45.

These things go through concrete blocks or brick like it was butter.

800W?! That must take hours.

OK that is about a pound of water (a pint or .5 l according to the
directions) Call it 145 BTU assuming you start with 67 F water.
800w/hr = 2730 BTU so it is about 1/19th of an hour, ~3.15 minutes.

I think you can wait 3 minutes for Ramen. (that is about as long as it
takes in my microwave too)

Most microwaves are 800 to 1000 watts, so that makes sense.

Not too long ago electric tea kettles were very common in Canada and
almost unheard of in most of the USA. I remember friends coming to
visit fromthe states back in the sixties buying several and taking
them home as gifts forfamily and friends. They had never seen them!!!

America is 3rd world compared to Canada, they were fascinated, just like Africans when you show them a mirror.

The kettle is mostly plastic so there is no heat loss. It actually heats water rather quickly. I'd basically put the amount of water I need in it and the less water, the quicker it boils. I would put water in it, plug it in and go about my other activities until I heard it whistle. I never timed it but it does the job and that's all I care about. I'd buy the ramen noodles that came in the foam cup and it takes very little water to prepare the noodles in the cup. The flat packaged noodles take a bit more water and time to prepare but it's not a problem. ^_^

I miss cooking because I'd experiment quite a lot which was fun for me. No batch of pasta sauce was ever the same and I'd make a large pot of it. I usually put ground beef and meatballs in the sauce but I've used ground turkey or ground pork. I've even put diced chicken breast in the sauce. Cooking various bits of dead animal with lifeless plant matter can be very fulfilling if one enjoys that sort of thing. Of course, I like to eat. ^_^

And a Keurig is a 1500 watt unit both in Britain and North America.
The old style "canadian" (made almost exclusively be GE Canada) tea
kettles are 1500 watts, the newer plastic "international" kettles are
1200 watts.

The 3Kw kettles days are numbered in Europe and Britain as well. The
EU is outlawing them, which means unless the UK builds them for
domestic use only, their days are numbered there too.

We're leaving the EU,. precisely for that stupid reason. Making a kettle lower power does not save power, it just makes it take longer. They're doing the same with vacuum cleaners. As we're not going to be in the EU, they can shove their stupid treehugging rules up their arses.

And what did getting to the moon achieve for America? Are you mining it or something?

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?

I turn the burner on...
For cooking - for sure.

Or for coffee or tea I use the Kuerig.

A 1500 watt kettle heats water plenty fast enough for making hot
beverages.
The old toasters were also pretty fast. I think some of the cheap
Chinese crap we get is made for 240 with a 120 volt cord - - REALLY
slow compared to the older North American made stuff.

Most people in the UK use a 3KW kettle.
Being hot tea lovers, we must have our brew boiled twice as fast ;-)

I have an electric kettle at home I found at a thrift store years ago and paid $3.00 for it. It is extremely useful when I was in need of boiling water for Ramen Noodles. I really don't drink hot tea or coffee so I used it for other things in need of hot water. It whistles when it's ready and uses a standard 120vac outlet so I can plug it in anywhere in the house. I could boil water on the gas stove but that seems like a waste of energy and dumps heat into the house in the summer months for the air-conditioning to deal with. The electric kettle is very convenient. As I recall, it draws 800 watts at 120vac which is not very much power for what it does. It's one of the most useful small electric appliances that I own. ^_^

[8~{} Uncle Boiled Monster

800W?! That must take hours.
--


The kettle is mostly plastic so there is no heat loss. It actually heats water rather quickly. I'd basically put the amount of water I need in it and the less water, the quicker it boils. I would put water in it, plug it in and go about my other activities until I heard it whistle. I never timed it but it does the job and that's all I care about. I'd buy the ramen noodles that came in the foam cup and it takes very little water to prepare the noodles in the cup. The flat packaged noodles take a bit more water and time to prepare but it's not a problem. ^_^

I miss cooking because I'd experiment quite a lot which was fun for me. No batch of pasta sauce was ever the same and I'd make a large pot of it. I usually put ground beef and meatballs in the sauce but I've used ground turkey or ground pork. I've even put diced chicken breast in the sauce. Cooking various bits of dead animal with lifeless plant matter can be very fulfilling if one enjoys that sort of thing. Of course, I like to eat. ^_^

Your camping kettle as we'd call it (you seem to have the same power rating as silly little portable things we run off a car battery in a tent) would take ages to make anything more than one cup of tea. What if you're going to cook a meal or make drinks for 5 people?

OK that is about a pound of water (a pint or .5 l according to the
directions) Call it 145 BTU assuming you start with 67 F water.
800w/hr = 2730 BTU so it is about 1/19th of an hour, ~3.15 minutes.

I think you can wait 3 minutes for Ramen. (that is about as long as it
takes in my microwave too)

Most microwaves are 800 to 1000 watts, so that makes sense.

Not too long ago electric tea kettles were very common in Canada and
almost unheard of in most of the USA. I remember friends coming to
visit fromthe states back in the sixties buying several and taking
them home as gifts forfamily and friends. They had never seen them!!!

America is 3rd world compared to Canada, they were fascinated, just like
Africans when you show them a mirror.


Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter and Gotlobb Witmann invented
the first electric drip brewer. The Germans take care of important
matters while Brits fuss around with teaballs.

The Germans would have made the world a far better place if you hadn't
got involved in the war.


Either one...
