I tried to figure out how to buy that exact kettle recently because I typically store mine away in a cupboard (and so a "cordless" kettle with separate base is just an annoyance to me) and couldn't find it anywhere.

I had to settle for a Proctor-Silex branded unit that was only sold by Home Depot online. It does not have a detachable cord.

A plugged-in kettle is not as likely to fall into a bowl of water as a hand mixer.

C13/C14 connectors are even known as "kettle leads" in some places.

Kettle plugs in the UK, close enough. I'm not sure if most kettles even use them at this point.

I'm from the UK (although haven't been there for a decade+) and remember "lead" being used in place of "cable" or "cord" by those around me. Plug would be the other end, which goes into the Mains.

“Kettle lead” is definitely good here too. It is, after all, more than just a plug.

Yeah, I know, I was just giving the colloquial name for them in the UK. We like calling things plugs, including what you might call a socket or outlet. Not exclusively but very commonly.

Commonly referred to as "jug plugs" in Australia.
