  1. They probably also got you a very low wattage stove/ oven. many of the crummy ones that you see in apartments don't really change via stat or something like that. Rather they're doing some kind of pulse modulation as near as I can tell. The stove in my present apartment kind of surges on and off rather than holding a steady temperature when you have it on a medium setting. This makes it really easy to burn something unless you have a thick pan to even out the surges. This seems to be common for crappy apartment stoves.

  2. You really left out portable and semi-portable things that make torque. Amps make torque. It is really inconvenient to have our tooling limited to 120. so if you have something like a home drill press or latheyou find yourself really wishing you had the 240 version but you don't have enough 240 outlets. Same for welders but that probably falls under your portable things that make heat category. but basically any power tool that is working under a lot of load and you don't want to bog down is kind of handicapped. Shop vacs, floor polishers, belt sanders....
