Mostly only a Power specified, those at standard voltage 230V.
Since the mains voltage can fluctuate, the manufacturer has decided to have a powerArea indicate.
2000-2400W (100%-120%) corresponds, for example, to a voltage range of 220 to 241 volts (100% to 109.5%).

Our mains voltage has an average of 230V. It is allowed + 10% differ. 207V – 253V, the higher the voltage the higher the power in Watt.

this large voltage range would even include a power range from 100% to 149%

The question is, what are 100%? I would settle the 100% at 230V and 2200W.

That’s right, I just simplified it, was too lazy to expect a more complicated example.
100% 230V makes sense, then you have to hold +/- (also minus) indicate a few %.

This means that the power of the device moves approximately between 2000 W and 2400 W, depending on the current voltage.

The manufacturers have probably confused some customers. I’ve never seen this before. For the user of the device, such fluctuations are completely meaningless, especially for the kettle. The classic simple indication “2200 Watt” would be clearer and more helpful. This is the planned Rated power with neglect of current deviations.

Since the mains voltage has a certain tolerance, the power input on your kettle also has a certain tolerance.

This depends on the operating voltage.
