    Maximum power cord lengths are in the NEC. Regardless of the original motivation, now it’s in the electrical code (US)

      I was thinking about this today when I pulled out my Vitamix. That thing has like a 6 foot cord.

      When did this get added? Or does it only apply to heating appliances? Date code on my blender is November 2020.

        I thought it was older than that but I don’t know and didn’t see anything through search.

        Maybe it’s just named appliances but my blender is also really short
