Does cordless mean it does not need to plug in?

"Cordless" is misleading. I have this unit and I believe they are saying it's cordless because there is not a cord coming out of the unit. There is just two prongs on the back of the handle that plug directly into an ext cord. Hope that helps!

No. It comes without any power cord what-so-ever. There is a male outlet built into the device itself. You will need to plug an extension cord into it. Hope this helps

As others have already answered, there is no cord attached to the unit. You connect it to electric source using an extension cord.

This is not a cordless unit. It does require a portable cord to be plugged in to the unit in order to operate.

No, it is not cordless! You can purchase the foreign adapter plugs used for all of your other electrical stuff!

It is NOT cordless. Must be plugged into a wall socket. Not heavy at all, and very easy to manipulate. One hand does it all.

It is not "CORDLESS", the pot sits on base that is connected to an AC outlet. It's great becuase when the water boils, you pick up the pot and there is NO CORD attached. Place it back in the base and you can boil more water. no Fuss no Muss, no Batteries.

No, it needs to be plugged in. However, you can put it on a built in timer so that it is not always using electricity. This is a purchase that holds NO regrets for me. Use it everyday and bought one for our daughters with small children who say that it is invaluable for heating food quickly, warming baby bottles, etc.

It doesn't require batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

No it does not need a cord it works off of batteries . I purchased the plug because I was having to replace them every week.

Cordless. But mine doesn't hold the charge very well and it doesn't work when the cord is used. Make sure you can return it if it happens to you.

The base unit on which the handset sits has to be plugged in but the handset itself is cordless.

No, you don't need to plug it in, it comes with a battery, that is how the light is on.

The device must have a phone line attached. If you have a cordless phone system in your house, you can place this unit between the base and the wall plug and it will work there...or you can plug it in and it can work without a phone attached as a stand alone unit. It gets its power from the phone line.

It doesn't need a battery. I think what caused confusion is the need of cordless phones to have a battery to charge to be able to receive a signal. This is an "old fashioned" phone that is directly connected to the phone line. If the electricity goes out, it is not affected.

Yes, but I use the battery alone without the plug in power. My shop is off grid so it is nice that I don't need to plug it in.

No, but it doesn't need one. Power consumption is exyremely low when it is on standby.

if you are referring to the number of connections on the cordless phone and NOT the base unit , you only need to plug in the ac adapter for charging the phone //////the base unit is the only thing that needs the phone line(s) and charger plugged in :O)

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.

It's not actually cordless. The kettle sits on a base that plugs in. But you lift it up and take of off the corded base to pour or carry it around.
