Cord isn't more than a foot long. You have to hook up to an extension cord to power the device.

Yes, you we'd need an extension cord to power the unit. I had an outlet installed for neatness and not to stumble on the extension cord, regularly.

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................

There is a power cord but it's not very long so you will probably need an extension cord unless you park it next to an outlet.

No you have to buy an extension cord to go with it. Be sure to find a cord that can handle 15 amps.

I am not sure about that - but the cord for this item is extremely short. I was very disappointed in how short it was. You will need an extention cord for sure.

No. It's electric so would have to be near a plug in or run an extension cord over.

The cord that is included is very short. I always carry an extension cord when I have the light pad. That's the only issue I have with it. It's an amazing tool besides that small oversight.

There is only a six inch cord where you connect the extension cord to, you'll have to purchase an extension cord separately. I bought a 100 ft cord for under $40 on amazon and it works just fine for our small front yard.

You can use an extension cord but it needs to be the proper size. I think the book gives the specs. If not, they can be found on the minnkota website. I'm think my extension cord is 12 gauge 3 wire grounded because I wanted a 100 foot cord. A shorter extension can be a smaller gauge.

Yes, the cord is too short, only about 12-14". I have another one where the cord is probably about 6' long, much better.

No such extension available. Probably can splice it to that length, having the right type of cable.

the cord is only about 4 feet long. I researched about adapters and couldn't find any. There were some people who rigged some wires for an extension but I never tried.
