    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.
