I have used mines several times and had no problems the cord is pretty long but works better with a extension cord. My church and I really enjoy our own for all our church functions.

The cord is about 4 feet long. I've had the popper a couple of years and have had no problems with it! I would recommend it to a friend.

the cord is about 5 feet long. I don't know how to answer the second part of your question sorry

The cord is 4-5 feet long. I have had no negative experience whole using it almost daily for Charity fairs.

The cord is about 4 ft long - not long at all. The glass on the front cracked almost immediately after we purchased it. It's not covered under warranty. It did not effect the function at all though. It pops wonderfully, but it's not overly convenient. The oil for this unit is not available in regular stores, so that needs to be ordered on line. I have found that to be rather expensive. So over all, great popcorn, cosmetic issues with glass, and expensive supplies. Hope that helps!

I'd like to know what warmer you bought that had a short cord! That's actually what I want because it will be on my counter (using it to warm a jarred candle because they last tons longer and don't burn down) and I'd rather NOT have a 6' cord to try to conceal.

This is not normal. However, the popper will still work without it. It is your call.

Not an issue with me as I don't use the thing. My new one has such a short cord I found it worthless in my kitchen. Sorry I purchased it. I didn't want the mug so got the unit without a mug. Would rather have 6 more inches of cord.

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea where you could get the instructions. I can give you advise on how this item works though. Measure out your own desired amounts of oil and popcorn. I have learned anything more than 2/3 of a cup of kernels over fills the unit when popped and burns the bottom popcorns. I find it best to put in the desired amount of oil (we use a full table spoon of veg. oil) first, then a 1/3 of a cup of kernels on one side of the arm and another 1/3 on the other side of the arm. It takes less than 5 minutes to finish. Take popcorn off of burner right away or it will burn. Hope this helps! I'm sorry to say that I have no idea where you could get the instructions.

The manual says it does: "This popper is thermostatically controlled. It will shut off to prevent overheating, if the popping chamber is overfilled or if thepopper is used for continuous popping for extended periods of time without turning it off and allowing it to cool." So if it gets overheated it'll shut off, and then you have to unplug it for 15 mins. But if you leave it plugged in after you're done popping, i'm not sure what'll happen.

I don't know the answer to either part of your question. I just discovered that my NEW popper is cracked. I emailed the company to see what they will do about it.

I just used it for the first time. It roasted coffee to second crack in just under 7 minutes. I can't vouch for it's longevity. I have my doubts. China pretty much makes crap. If I could find an American made popper with this design, I'd pay much more. I bet there is a market for a purpose built air bed coffee roaster.$60, safe, consistent, proper wattage, chaff catcher, lasts for a few years of frequent use. I'd buy it.

I bought this popper solely for roasting coffee beans but I could never get them darker than a medium roast, even if left to run beyond 15 minutes. At that point it becomes a fire hazard since popcorn poppers typically don't need to run that long to make popcorn. After just a few uses, I sold mine in a garage sale and I was lucky to find an old West Bend Poppery II at my local Goodwill store for $2.00. Same wattage but better built than this Toastess model. I also have an old Chefmate popper that I also found at a thrift shop for $3.00. It's the same 1200 watts but runs a bit hotter so roasts don't take as long to reach my desired depth.

We use the popper often and have never had that happen to us. Maybe your unit is defective

Check this Amazon add for answers and a much better price for the same popper.

I am not sure where it is made, but my advice is to pass on this popper unless you want to unleash chaos in your kitchen. Instead buy the Nordic microwave popper...better than air popped!

don't waste your time with the cord details. plan on purchasing a 220v male plug of your choice and or hook it up direct to a 220v disconnect. but to answer your question, my unit was shipped with a standard 110v plug ( pig tail). only small problems with the unit so far, the trigger handle is cheap and just stops but if you squeeze the handle it fires back up. other than that its a great little home unit.

I never received the deluxe, i was shipped the wrong popper but i decided to keep it rather that go to all the trouble of returning it. Sorry i cant help.

The only suggestion is to find a plug end that fits and give it a try. The cord I have is very short and plugs into the wall outlet. The only other option is to find a vendor online or on Amazon and contact them. I just looked at my cable and it's not marked at all. I will say this, if you are able to charge it, keep your fingers away from the metal strips on the side. Yep you guessed it and it hurt like heck and it didn't even get the full dose as I released it as soon as I felt the jolt. It ached for a good 3 hours afterwards so I wouldn't and don't want to know what a full dose would feel like. good luck The only suggestion is to find a plug end that fits and give it a try.

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.
