I always check stuff like this with new appliances, but I guess there’s some people who don’t…
I woul’ve just cut it and extended it… and find out in the process that there is more to that cable than meets the eye.
Same. Also, countertop appliances should always have at least a 3’ cord. I believe that’s part of electrical code.
3’? Three… minute? \j
3 feet.
’ is feet
" Is inches
Example: someone who is 5 foot 9 inches tall can write their height as 5’9"
Thank you for enlightening me in the freedom units sir
I also remembered it’s often written in that format on clearance height signs and such so here’s an “In the wild” example.

Have no idea about those standards to be honest, all sorts of Chinese shit appliances get imported here, I don’t think we have a code that regulates that.
Yeah I know plenty of chenese stuff ignores it. I forget where it’s said but countertop appliances are supposed to be 3’ cords and others are supposed to have 6’ cords. And then in houses you’re supposed to have plugs at those distances so people usually shouldn’t need extension cords.
As we say in Germany, tja.
Machste nix

On the flip side, you just taught me that the extra length can be wound up underneath!
Check your kettle, air fryer and other kitchen appliances as well.
Let’s have a guess what country that guy lives in. 😉 The post with the most upvotes wins.
could be any?
Sure, but some are more likely than others. I was hoping for a game of guessing and upvoting.
Def Bulgaria with toasting knowledge like this.
Bulgaria, where toasters go to die. 🙂
I mean we have toasters like this in Australia for like $10 with the same cable management design. Seems pretty standard to me.
This made me get out of bed to check my toaster but no, the cord really is just that short
Guess you bought the wrong toaster then lol…
