How flexible is the power cord? I have a pad now and the cord is extremely stiff.

It's approximately 6ft long and very flexible. Btw: I reviewed this several years ago and my wife is still using it and still loves it. She asked me to buy her another one in case they quit making them.

Seems great to me. This is the best heating pad i have ever had. It has lasted through several years of almost daily use! I had a very expensive one the died on me twice in a row in a few months. The cords are stiff on cheaper models. Not this one.

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

The cord is fairly substantial at around 76 inches. The pad itself is about 15 X 13 inches and is not flimsy. I think the product is of a much higher quality than anything I have ever used and the cord needs to be up to the job of graduated heat. It is somewhat stiff but OK for me.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

I use it all the time, works great for me. Make sure all the connections are secured. ie: the pads, if pads are loose, you will get a jolt. Found out the hard way. Try that.

My pad does not smell, and I have used it a few times and never noticed a smell. The cord I am not sure, but I know it is over 5 feet. I love the softness of this pad and it is really flexible not stiff like a lot of those heating pads. I hope I helped you a little :)

Very flexible. I actually have it slightly folded up to connect to my wii u and PS3 whenever I want to switch.

Have had no problems with this issue. I often use the laptop on my lap and it seems firm to me.

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

mine is doing the same thing. I have replaced the pads and still doing it. I think because of the thin cords from the device to the pads they are just not strong enough and the interior wires break ...I figure it has been a year and I got many, many uses from it...so will buy a new one. Wish the cords from device to pad were not so cheesy!!

You need to have the right sequence of plugging and replugging. I believe that you need to first plug the cord into the pad...then plug into wall.

This 2" pad is a good quality...but is too soft to turn over on easily. I would try 1" of the same quality.I am 225 lb.

Yes this cord is flexible and lays flat. Its much better than those cheap orange cords you get in stores

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

Yup! I've had it since last fall, using only the power cord and no problems so far (knock on wood).

Go buy yourself a brick from your local hardware store. That brick will be softer than this pad. A lot softer...

Around 2 feet and very stiff/not too flexible. Recommend getting a longer USB 3.0 cable adapter.

I've never had a problem with the smaller cord fraying (with OR without the power curl). That said I really like the power curl keeping the cord organized and that MAY help prevent fraying (both ends of the power cord are secure tightly when completely wrapped). Hope this helps.

Mine was a little stiff at first as well, but make sure you're using a twisting motion more than a sliding-up motion.
