This is a no brainer. Appliance makers should jump on this.
Which high-end appliance do you think I would choose, if my choice is between a slow cooker (or mixer, blender, box fan, table lamp, etc.) with a long, unmanageable, trip hazard of electrical cord, or an appliance with a retractable cord?
A quick fix.
