For those of you unaware, most households in the USA have 15amp circuits for their wall plugs. With that you can safely pull about 1200Watts constantly.

I am unsure what the normal household circuit amperage is in the EU or elsewhere...

Max sustained load on a 15A breaker is not 10A/1200w, it’s 80% of 15A at 120v, or 12A/1440w.

The normal amperage in Germany is 16A at 230V, with a peak load of 3500W and a sustained load of 3000W.
