Look for a 360° rotatable base that works for both left and right-handed users, a secure magnetic or friction-fit connection between kettle and base, and a neat cord storage compartment in the base to avoid clutter.
Yes — all consumer electric kettles sold in India use a cordless kettle-on-base design. The 'cordless' label just means the kettle itself lifts off the base without a cord — the base is always corded to the wall.
Yes, particularly if your kitchen outlet is to one side. A 360° base means you can place the kettle any orientation and still pour comfortably — no reaching around the cord.
