This was my first thought. Not sure if it is a nostalgia thing or if it was actually good at this point. I did like it a lot back then though.

This is where the 120 volt power makes it a little worse for us Americans. 2200w would be 18 amps, easily taking most of the power on a breaker.

If kettles ever got more popular in the US maybe they could put 240v outlets in kitchens for kettles, but that would be a huge change.
