^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is something of a show-stopper for those of us in the

=======================
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'

The normal US home has two sockets that provide 220 V -- one for a
kitchen range and one for a clothes dryer. Both are big (like 30+ amp)
connectors. So, yes, it is a problem.
