Not true at all!

220V outlets are very rare in residences - no need for them as 220V is only
used for very high power equipment. The exceptions would be central air
conditioners, electric stoves, electric water heaters, but these are
typically hard-wired in a junction box. Run-of-the-mill appliances using up
to about 20 amps are usually run on 110VAC

Voltage 220V, 8A fused.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is something of a show-stopper for those of us in
the US...
=======================
With 117 V being the normal nominal domestic voltage , I believe many
premises in the US have nominal 234 V outlets as well , hence 220V
wouldn't be a problem.........let alone be a 'show stopper'
