Less regulations means more shortcuts. Another example is Hyundai/Kia. Why do the Kiaboyz exist only in the US when Kias are sold all over the world? Because itβs only in the US where they sold cars without immobilizers because they werenβt required to.
You're missing one big thing - there's only one country that has horrendous consumer rights laws and a huge market, and 110v electric
Well worth making models just for that one market
ahem the actual standard is 120volts, but can tolerate down to 110volts
That's irrelevant to the advice in this thread
Hope you get your adenoids sorted
Why does the voltage matter?
If there's only one country that uses 110v, you have to make an appliances for that country specifically. If that country has really shitty consumer rights laws, why not also make the appliances shitty?
Damnβ¦ itβs all a 110 volt conspiracy
