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

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.
