Regulations make detachable cords of electric kitchen appliances hard. Most need double isolation and water-proofing, hence not detachable. It could probably be done, but it likely needs a different type of connector, akin to M12/M8 | ||

Also product liability. If you give a domestic hair dryer a 12 ft cord, someone will use it in the shower. If you give an insta-pot a 6 ft cord, someone will drape it off the counter and a child will pull it. UL standards actually limit cable length for many appliances. https://www.intertek.com/standards-updates/ul-1026-electrica... | ||

My Ankarsrum Assistent mixer has a detachable power cord with a standard C13 connector. It seems to be possible, but it’s likely cheaper to have fixed connectors. | ||
