If it is cordless and no batteries, what powers it?

THANK YOU! The naming is so far off it's misleading. So it's a DOCKING kettle, not a cordless one.

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.

Mice. When hot water is desired, food pellets are inserted in the base to induce miniature mice to run a treadmill hooked to a generator that actually produces electric current which, in turn, is attached to a heating coil.

It is powered by the base, which is not cordless. You just pick it up off the base and pour. I hope this helps.

There's a small base station with a plug that the kettle sits on top of. When the water has boiled, you just pick up the kettle and pour and the base stays behind.

The base the kettle sits on to heat it has a cord that is plugged into the wall.

Only the caraffe is cordless. It is shown sitting on a base that does plug in to an outlet. The caraffe has a connector built into it to supply current to the heating coil. You justlift it off of the base to pour or fill.

It does not take batteries, only AC power. I think portable refers the tiny size of it.

It has a base that it sits in that you plug into the wall to recharge its on board battery, making it "cordless in hand" and rechargeable.

Correct. It is not cordless as it does need power from an "extension cord".

I, frankly, don't remember exactly. But I have an impression that it's supposed to be plugged-in, no battery.

You will need to plug it into a wall outlet. There is no battery to charge.

No batteries, plug into household electricity. We did use a heavy duty extension cord a couple of times.

It's cordless, but you can charge it and also use it with the detachable cord.

It does not use batteries. You have to either plug it into an outlet or the car.

Cordless. Sits on a base that plugs in but you can pick up the kettle and move anywhere. No batteries.

It must be plugged in. It doesn't have a battery because it uses too much power for a battery.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

No batteries are needed. It gets what little power it needs from the USB port

It's battery operated, however, you can also use an AC adapter, but that's not included.
