I always check stuff like this with new appliances, but I guess there’s some people who don’t…

    Same. Also, countertop appliances should always have at least a 3’ cord. I believe that’s part of electrical code.

      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.
