You need a.... Westinghouse power center! 2 retractable cords and 2 outlets, one on the timer, and all 4 protected by little circuit trippers (breakers?)! Chuck

Westinghouse Omg I do need one of those Westinghouse Power Centers!! What a great idea! When everyone had a number of small appliances operated by these same cords. I also love being able to store these appliances without an attached cord going everywhere and taking more space. | ||

James, I would think the timer would have been for anything you wanted it to be, but probably morning coffee would make the most sense. Though, considering the number of perks that took the 2 prong design of the retractable cords, I wonder why they didn't put the timer on one of those? Chuck | ||

There are still certain small kitchen appliances made with detachable power cords as seen in OP's picture.
Coffee pot, griddles, fry pans, etc... Especially those designed to be immersible or otherwise cleaned with water. Where you don't see them are for things like clothes irons where it was determined such cords were a safety hazard. This was because when an iron fell people were likely to grab the cord to prevent. With a detachable cord obviously that didn't work because the thing just came away. | ||

My Elna Press has a detachable cord as well. But remember they are meant to be stored standing upwards, something not possible if cord is left attached.
My other press is a vintage Hurley Ironer Press, and cord is permanently attached on side of unit. Thus you can store it standing upright without issues. | ||
