Many low cost electric appliances save money by not including a power switch. It's one of those little annoyances that tends to grate over time. The cord switches you typically find at hardware stores are made for lights and generally can't handle much load, but online you can get some that go as high as 16 amps. This means they can control a 110 volt appliance that draws 1,760 watts and a 220 volt one that draws 3,500 watts. Best of all, they tend to be inexpensive and easy to install. I've retrofitted a rice cooker, an electric grill, and a battery charger.
