Russian people do not understand.
The life of Americans is noticeably different from what they are used to in Russia. When moving to the US, many face an unexpected problem. Nobody in this country knows what an electric kettle is.
In the States, housewives do not use this useful and indispensable device for Russian people. If they need to boil water, then a stove or microwave oven is used. The reason for this was unexpected.
The fact is that in America the voltage in houses is 100-127 volts, while in most other countries this figure reaches 230 volts. Due to the low voltage, electric kettles will work too slowly, which means that their main advantage is coming to naught.
In addition, it is important to understand that it is not customary for Americans to drink tea at home. That is why they are unlikely to be upset that local stores do not sell electric kettles.
