Are British kettles more powerful than those in the US, is it the voltage difference, or does my mother just have a super charged kettle? Water definitely boils quicker here.

@crossingthethreshold it's the wattage that matters, not the voltage, though with a fixed 15 Ampere fuse, it does matter.

@renevanbelzen Thank you. So I suppose that there is a higher wattage in the UK vs the US, resulting in super charged water boiling?
