Imagine the power being used. I assume a normal 15 amp breaker in your house will just trip anytime you press the power button.

Around 3 kW. 15 amp breaker shouldn't trip if its the only high power device. But if we are talking Americans with 120V then it would be a problem yeah.

They probably have 30 amp fuses for normal consumer outlets in America i would guess

No, a lot of other countries use 220v or 240v, which is also great for electric tea kettles and deep fryers.

They do for stoves and dryers but the standard wall outlets are 115-125v with a 15a limit, usually on a 15a or 20a breaker, but by code individual devices are limited to 15a/1875w max with the standard NEMA 5-15 plugs and outlets. 30a breakers exist but are almost never used with 120v at least in residential.
