The cord is not that long, not an issue for me since where I keep it I have an outlet nearby. The unit is currently in Florida and I am in New York so I cant give you measurements now. I will be there at the end of June. As to the setting. I usually keep it between medium and high. It has no problem heating up and keeping a half steamer of baked ziti toasty. Usually I put items on the blech anywhere between 8-9 am and everything is warm by 11:30 when I come home from shul.
Here in New York (as well as in Florida) I have wonderful slow cookers that I also use to warm things up. Again these units has have variable setting and I can use it as a small blech but most of the times I simply put items in plastic bags and put it into the pot to keep it warm. If I am making a chulent I again, place items in individual plastic bags and simply plop them in right over the chulent.
