One thing in that thread;
> Most UK kettles are not 3000W, and most of the ones that are, are junk. Y
They may not be 3 kW, but even the most basic of them are 2200W [0], and 3000W ones are readily available are not much more expensive [1]. They're also not really junk - they're a lump of plastic, a hot plate and a thermistor - the difference between a £8 one and a £80 one is almost all aesthetics.

Err, well, from the title, I expected it to be a garage experimentation video without practical information. Thanks for the correction. :)
Video was published last week and reaches the same conclusions as this thread. Timely, and reassuring! Thanks for the SE link too.
I watched the video already before this HN thread, being a Technology Connections subscriber, but I genuinely forgot or missed that it discussed that aspect. I'm not surprised, though.
