I use electrical cord velcro straps, do a quick search on amazon, they are excellent for cable management.

Go to big-box home improvment store. Get a roll of 1/4" clear vinyl tubing for normal extention cords and the next smaller (3/16" I think) for thin cords like cel ph chargers. Cut the tubing to length and use a single edge razor blade to carefully slit one side of the tubing. Work the wire into the tubing and it will close over the cord your trying to protect. We foster kittens and sometimes we get one that loves to chew cords.

The cord is long. I use an outlet that's near the ceiling and still have plenty left.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

Cable can be wrapped any way you want to wrap it, it will still heat. I advise that you insulate all partsof cable with insulation so you don't lose any heat from the cable. I used foam insulation, but any kind of insulation will work as long as it is thick enough.

Plugging in is an option. The cord is actually pretty long, although I can't recall how many feet. It was more than I needed, so I left a lot of it bundled.

I wrap it around the base. It's not too cumbersome because the cord is not very long, which is nice because it would be hard for it to be accidentally pulled off the counter.

a good wrap will end with pulling the end strings back threw the entire handle wrap and I started with a nice loop at the eye hole and have a couple a layers of para cord , just start the ends to the other side of your handle early for easy pull threw when done , I think I have about 20 feet wrapper

I often do, with no problem. The cord seems to end up warmer than the device; but I'm often on battery when using it on the sofa. :)

No, the cord is extended, but I simply wrap it around the outside of the unit and haven't had a problem. Good idea, though!

Okay w/ lamp/telephone cords. But my cell phone cord has gotten wrapped up in there multiple times. It's a pain to get it out - not sure why the robot just doesn't stop after it's eaten half of it - it has to eat almost the whole cord so don't leave the thinner cords lying around.

It's very simple. You can either use the clip kits that are available it or just remove a little bet of the plastic on the side strips are sodder it to an extension cord. Check youtube there several videos on this subject.

try staples, comp usa etc. I did read though that they don't reccomend using it while it is charging for extended periods, if that is why you want the cord

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up
