a: Is there cord Storage (wrapping posts, retractable, removable etc.)? b: What Wattage of the heating element?

The cord is not retractable, nor does it have a wrapping post or removable. The instruction booklet says the device is for 120 volts and should not be used with a converter. The heating element gets very hot and the popcorn will burn if you do not remove it at the right time. There is not an automatic shut off either so it's not something you can walk away from during the popping.

The cord is not retractable... you wind it up along the bottom of the canister for storage.

No. The directions show the cord wrapped around the base. The lack of a retractable cord wouldn't deter me from buying this again though. I love it

I no longer have the packing box, but the tag says UL rated. It looks like a high quality cord and box. I have used it for hot plates, but not an electric heater. I would be guessing if I said it was safe... but I'd feel comfortable using it for a heater now that I've seen it.

This is not a cordless unit, the red tab is the switch. order only if you don't mind watching it closely, the high heat shut-off failed early on mine. Otherwise I like it.

It's a pretty large unit, 16"w x 9"h x 10.5"d (12" if you count handle) outside is metal I think stainless on the front and black painted aluminum. The heating element I have no idea, it doesnt look like metal but similar to whats on an electric stove. it does have one element on top and one on bottom. I love mine, use it for toasting, baking cookies, I've even made salmon in it successfully

this is a 12 volt heater you can use in your car , truck, or anything that runs on a 12 volt system. The cord is stored on the side which doesn,t show in the picture

The prongs to plug into an outlet are on the back of the unit, and fold into the unit to store. So there isn't a cord to deal with.

Yes, there is a cord. Mine got ripped at the end where it's connected to the iron while i was ironing. It caught on fire, but after 15 seconds it stopped. Now I need a new iron. I will from now on iron in the kitchen instead of my bedroom. This is a fire hazard!

Nope. It's only 400 Watts, and even with the temp reading 71 degrees, I held my palm on the flat surface for a minute with no discomfort. I would NOT allow kids or pets close to it, and I'd be sure to keep the space in front and around it clear of any paper, fabric, anything flammable. It gives off a gentle, warm heat, and is not intended to be the sole source of heat.

No, the cord is NOT retractable. Yes, it is easy to store in my opinion. And, My feeling it is good for all hair types. I have fine hair and have been using it for over 10 years. This Elchim lasts a long time, so worth the INVESTMENT. Best wishes!

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

There should be an electrical cord that runs the heating element. I can't see it in the picture. On my unit the rod that supports the heating element is aluminum and the grate is stainless steel. None can be seen in the picture.

I read a review where someone like the unit but said it sometimes scared him the cord was so short and so close to the heated part...he was afraid it would melt. Is the cord really short and is the cord where it attaches to the unit really that close to the "heat"?

No. It has standard coils found on electric ranges. I use it to keep large pots of soup warm and use standard cooking pots for that.

it is not detachable from the heating element, the cord is only attached to the base.

Not sure how to answer that question. It does have a cord, as it does run by electricity. You can either wall mount the unit or you can purchase a stand for it separately. Right now ours is packed away in the box. At first we thought we would wall mount it, but after it arrived, we did not want to commit to the wall mount because of the damage it would do to the wall. Therefore, we decided to order the stand. We got the stand and it fits the unit as it should, however, by that time the weather had warmed up and it was no longer heating season. We will have to wait for the cold weather to return before we can comment on how well the unit actually heats our space.
