Quoted message said:Sunpentown is based in Taiwan, but I suspect the units that are so
common in the U.S. are made here for them (possibly by Spring). They
are rated as 1.2 kW, which converts to roughly 8,600 BTU/hour, not much
cooking power. All countertop units meant for North American household
use will be somewhat limited, in that they are 115-volt units and the
typical wall or counter socket is on a 15-amp circuit; even with
nothing else plugged into that circuit, and allowing for typical
voltage variations, about 1.6 kW is an upper limit, and 1.4 kW a more
reasonable one
Of course us lucky people in uk.food+drink.misc (well most of us) have
240V 13A sockets everywhere in the house. I think that makes 3.2kW of
power available.
