The cord is the average length not too long not too short. There is no smell at all from this heater, the heater is Perfect I ordered another one I have a total of 2! Gets very warm the best buy!

Hi Lynette - I measured the power cord and it is 6 feet long at its longest extension. According to the manual, the limited warranty is for 12 months for the actual unit, although it specified that plastic parts only have a 30 day warranty. It's been a great little air conditioner, and really cools the room down well. It also fits my very narrow windows in the attic (mother-in-law suite) - they're only 17 inches wide, and it fits great. I'd order it again.

Fairly short. About 3 feet. We used an extension cord but we loved the heater. Worked great.

Installed size; 28 1/8"wide, 8 3/8" tall and 3 1/8" from the wall to the front. I feel need to comment it's really nice, it never smells like most electric heaters do, the temperature room stays even, has multiple wiring options, and feels a lot safer than conventional electric heaters. My wife loves it and I couldn't be happier with it. I hope it work out for you too.

The cord is a little over 6 feet in length from the heating pad to the outlet. The cover is made of washable cotton and polyester. This is the best heating pad we have found so far....love the digital moist heat and the extra length of the heating pad. Hope this helps.

No plastic odor at all. The cord is 9' long & detaches from the pad so the pad can be machine washed.

Some people are answering 3 feet long. It's incorrect. Unless you actually purchased one that has 3 feet long power cord because my heater has a 6 feet long cord. Thank you

Unfortunately it is normal, but not safe. Hot cords that are touching flammable material, such as paper or plastics, can pose a fire hazard. This is exactly what my heater did before it quit working, and started to smoke from its on/off switch.

Yes, it does. It's a nice heater, if you get past the plastic odor it puts out. I don't notice it much anymore, but it still bothers my wife.

Yes, I have it is just terrible. I returned the first one I ordered and have received the second unit, only it is doing the same thing. It does not get hot, neither does the cord or outlet but it smells of melting plastic. I really do not want to send this one back but cant stand the smell.

I dimly recall that it had a bit of an odor when it was brand new and first turned on, but it dissipated quickly and now there is no odor whatsoever. This heater is oil-filled, not radiant, but a radiator look-alike. It is a perfect heater for a smallish room and I really love it.

Hello when I first plugged my heater in the first time it had a weird smell but goes away with-in a week .

It is a standard length cord which reaches quite far. The unit takes seconds to reheat after the initial heat up.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

Are you asking about the length of the cord? It's about 6 feet long. Common sense about distance to other materials...not particularly hot at the back of the heater.

I think it comes 6 ft...I installed receptacle after heater install..so cord length was not an issue for me.

We have not noticed any smell from this heater, perhaps some dust (my fault) every now and then.
