One of worlds longest running experiments is when an european tourist visited america and tried to boil water using a kettle and a travel adapter.
The paper published on the experiment noted that water finally reached temperatures of 63c in 2017.

Would be great if an equally clueless European followed up with
“So I visited your country and remembered seeing this post but when I got there, none of my stuff would fit in your outlets. What the fuck?”

I’ll be choosing an inverter soon. In the US, but considering a 240v just for the kettle.

Steam irons heat faster too, you know, just in case you need to iron your fancy shirt in a hurry, not that that would ever happen to mee or anything…

Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉

Someone from Germany or France or one of the other States should do that to take the piss.
