It’s possible he’s running it at 120v if the electrician did a bad job in the kitchen. 400v ovens are fairly common where I live and can run on 240v in a pinch (even if it’s not recommended).
The only large appliances that aren’t running 220-240v in the US are the refrigerator and dishwasher .Ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, furnaces, and water heaters are all on 240 volts.
No its electric.
Could be a US low voltage issue? Since im European.
North American ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element

Not that I know such things, but I think 120V wouldn’t even fully heat up an oven.
But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A three-phase, because we in the Netherlands and Germany are special snowflakes.

That’s awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.
My Finnish oven runs on 380V too, although it’d hard-wired insted of a weird plug.
Mines 5 phase. My Dad got because he works at oven.
That’s probably true. Our electric kettles heat up much slower too for the same reason.

In Europe, at least my oven is hooked up to 3 phase 400V. That’s more than the 240 max you get in the US.
Serious question, with that much power do you even pre-heat the oven? At that much power, I imagine you can just put the food in and turn it on.
Ah Yeah maybe, Canadian but North America as a whole is the same standard of 240v for ovens. It could also be I’ve only used lower end ovens lol.
