does this retract on its own after you stretch it out or does it stay in the same position?

It retracts a little bit, but after you stretch it out it mostly stays that far stretched.

It works similar to a seat belt, pull it out to lock. Pull out again to retract.

The cord does retract. We have not used that feature so I'm not sure how much of the cord is left out. I tried retracting ours to find out but it doesn't work.

It is adjustable as you open and close it. If I understand your question correctly, it does not lock to a certain width, but, rather, will retract as you need it.

Just used mine yesterday - I extended it out and gave a little twist - it never moved on me while I was using it - twisted it back and collapsed it when I was done

It retracts back into the base , it's a good one for sure , the knob on the side lets you tighten it up if the roll up isn't as tight as you want , I have two and I'm very happy

The cord is loose and does not retract. We use our waffle maker frequently so it is usually on my counter! I kind of coil it up and set it on top of the waffle maker when it is put away in the cupboard.

Mine comes off. You might have to jiggle it at little, don't force it. It doesn't come off smoothly, but it does eventually release.

Yes it does. It is magnetic so when you are not using it, it stays in place out of the way.

A simple answer is yes.It maintains its form very well, so if you pull it to extend a lot it will pull back and coil once you release your pressure. But it is also a long hose, so you may need to sort of help it along by shaking it a bit as it coils back. This also helps it from getting tangled on itself if you moved it around at all.

It DOES detach...hooks in with a little rod that pops into a hole and holds it on.

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

This arm DOES return to the rest by itself, it doesn't just sit on the record. But you do have to place it on the record yourself initially. It does have a cuing lever.

No it does not. It keeps it positioned at arms reach and firmly stays in place until I need it.

just with tension. there is a little screw that tightens down on the arm to hold it in place. in all honesty, not amazing but it works. I have had some issues getting it to lock into place myself...but on the other hand it is really cheap.

It does fully retract all the way down to metal clasp on the large model. Some of the smaller ones have a lead that doesn't retract all the way.

After removing the support pole and detaching the front (Velcro), it simply folds flat and then in half on itself. It's much simpler than it sounds. It almost does the work for you. If you feel resistance, you're doing it wrong. I hope that helps.
