Take a zip tie and leave a little slack in the cord to recline the machine then tie it off... No need to worry after that... Not sure if you take off the handle to clean stairs or not...If you do, I'd just zip tie it to the base...If not, the handle is fine too...
Just like I do on the Cimex after having the cord based pulled from it.... The plastic is stripped where it meets the Cimex... I think
@Desk Jockey also zip tied they're cords too....
