You're thinking of a vacuum cord that automatically winds onto a spring-loaded reel, commonly seen on canister vacuums.
They're talking about an upright vacuum where you manually wrap the cord around two hooks. One of the hooks can be rotated so that it no longer keeps the cord in place.
Look at the two black hooks in front of the yellow cord in this picture:

Note that the bottom one can be rotated upward. The entire cord can then be removed from the machine in one motion.
- dusted 2y agoEuro-mind-blown I didn't know they still made those, I only know them from old cartoons :o Thanks for clearing that up for me! :)
- nottorp 2y agoThey're still available but they only seem to make them for professional cleaners (hotels etc) in europe. And they get big and you probably don't want them in your home.
- bombcar 2y agoYou can find that kind of setup on many machines around the home and shop: Look at https://bissellcdn.blob.core.windows.net/cdn-storage-container/Web%20Portal%20User%20Guides/US/1400B.pdf https://bissellcdn.blob.core.windows.net/cdn-storage-contain... - the ONLY Mention it makes is "quick release power" but doesn't document how to do it (it's a turn the hook setup).
