Electrical requirements for my old Hotpoint range

Electric Dryer Hook-Ups

Almost all were direct wired back in the 50s, it was cheaper because you saved the cost of an outlet and cord, and as I mentioned before it produced a safer more reliable connection.

Any high current draw devices that are essentially stationary may as well be hard wired. Only reason to use a plug is if it needs to be easily plugged and unplugged to swap it or for cleaning.

All the machine tools in our shop are hardwired. It is one less point of point of failure and as John said you don't have to pay for the plug and outlet you aren't using.
