How long is the cord and does it retract automatically?

The cord is only 6 - 8 INCHES, and no, it does not retract. (It requires a heavy duty extension cord in order to operate it.) Amazon sells a Coleman Brand heavy duty extension cord that we are very happy with, and it was really reasonably priced compared to Lowes, Home Depot & even Walmart.

Cord isn't more than a foot long. You have to hook up to an extension cord to power the device.

It has a very short cord, approximately 1 foot long and it does not retract.

There isn't a button. You have to pull the cord out and then it retracts automatically.

The cord is short, about 6-8 inches. I have been using it for about 4 months now and haven't had issues.

The cord is measured in feet not inches. I have not pulled a tape to it but it reaches across my living room. If you want the flexibility of a battery operated vac with the staying power of a plugged in unit, buy this. Very happy with purchase.

It stops quite well. It has a very solid "stop" once you pull the cord out and then allow it to retract an inch or so. But once you hit the retract button it retracts powerfully. A great unit and I'm glad I bought it. I wish it had the following improvements: USB jacks, outlets spaced slightly further out, carrying handle slightly larger or slightly wider.

I have not. I have installed and used two of these and never had that problem. It is not auto retracting.

Hey there, no the cord does not retract. I am not super happy with this set. Mine came in the mail pre opened and dusty and the small curlers are really small, I can only use the larger ones.

You can partially retract. As you partailly pull the cord out, it stays at the current lenght until you push the retract button. I never pull the cord out entirely.

The cord is pretty long but the unit itself is pretty small -maybe 6 or 7 inches in all. I can't measure it because it is at my Mom's.

No the cord does not retract. That is the only thing that kept me from giving it a perfect rating. It is a great hand mixer with plenty of power, but I do wish that the cord would retract.

I purchased a Retractable that was 25' long. I believe, or maybe, it came in an 18' length as well.

The cord is loose and does not retract. We use our waffle maker frequently so it is usually on my counter! I kind of coil it up and set it on top of the waffle maker when it is put away in the cupboard.

This is a tape leash, 26 feet in length. I prefer the tape to cords, personally, as there seems to be less tangling and knotting issues- in my experience. I highly recommend this retractable leash.

It is plenty long. However, retractable is questionable. Mine does not work well.

it's about 4' ish. I still use an extension cord with it so i can move around easily.

The cord is approx. 6 ft. long. There is a handle on the top only, but it it is easy to move around with the handle.

There is a "stopper" on the cord which leaves about 12 inches of cord plus the plug exposed. In all honesty, I seldom retract the cord. I figured it would be a part that wears out quickly, so I just coil the cord.
