All other days in the year, Xiaomi (and to some lesser extent Nokia) is ahead of you in this department.

I'd like to see them do a temperature controlled kettle or possibly a coffee machine, though I understand kettles don't get used so much in the U.S. due to the lower voltage.

It seems like the important metric would be the kettle's power output, not the voltage. A kettle running at a lower voltage can still have the same power output (wattage).

My kettle is 1.5kW. I'd be surprised if consumer kettles ran much higher than that.

EDIT: TIL about 3kW European kettles and what I'm missing out on.
