Btw, why don't things like this, with short usage time but high current requirements, not have a (big) built-in capacitor to "pre-load", to shorten the heating time and put less load on the house circuits?
Edit: added more context to why.

because we unplug ours when we aren't using it, and capacitors discharge when not under current.
You do know that capacitors can hold charge, even while unplugged, don't you?
