Here come those complaints I was predicting. I have to admit I
wonder the same thing with some appliances. I bought a blender for
the first time in years about a month ago - $25 Oster, Walmart - works
ok for what I need - but the cord is incredibly short. I'm living in
an apartment building that went up in 1925, it's not like there's an
outlet on every wall. But even within only a foot or two of a wall
plug in the kitchen the wire just barely makes it to the outlet. I
have seen this with other items. I am not making excuses for the
people who manufacture these products, but I'm assuming there's got to
be a reason why they make their plug wires so short. Maybe they're in
cahoots with the extension-cord people.
