Like I already said, US households are wired to the 240V 60Hz standard, it just depends on what device the outlet is intended for. The outlet can be anywhere from 110V for low volt appliances all the way up to 240V for high volt appliances.
Yes, I know that many US homes have 220V outlets for electric ranges or water heaters but most outlets are not and the ones that are are not typically accessible for general use. It’s silly to say “240V 60Hz is actually the US standard” in this context since most US residents aren’t going to have one accessible as a special outlet just for a kettle. Or if they do, they better tell their guests before they accidentally plug in a blender.
I have one I can easily access right behind my stove top. It’s not like it’s a special connection, it’s literally just the usual 2/3 prong. If you know about it in the first place, it’s not hard to access. It’s not like the stove is bolted into the fuckin wall in 99% of US houses.

Nice. I wish I had one… Oh well, back to the microwave.
