How long is the power cord for this blower motor? I had ordered one previously for my 2001 Chrysler T &amp; C and it was too short.

I installed that months ago and can't be 100% sure, but I do recall it being similar to the OEM I took out of a 2005 dodge caravan. If I recall correctly that would make it about 6" to 8" long.

I don't have it in front of me, but I'd say that it is about 12 inches long. It's long enough to mount the button on the engine housing somewhere, but not long enough to mount up near the shifter on the blower handle. - Dave

The cord remains out by a few inches. My first experience w/this model was at a hotel. The strength of the blow power is what encouraged me to buy one. But sadly the blower stopped working after just a few months.

Not long enough to reach from the center (upper) portion of the windshield, to the A pillar, down to below the dash, then over to the power receptacle. someone sells a 16 foot cord (do a search).

I need a replacement power cord as well as unfortunately in my case, it was misplaced during a move and now it is just a chair. If anyone can provide a picture of the power cord, which type of head and what WATT it takes would help me get a replacement :) Thanks!

I would base your decision on the length of the drive. If less than 50 feet, a 14/3 guage outside cord will be perfect. If more than that a 12/3 gauge is recommended. The lower the the number, the more current it can carry. The motor is rated at 12 amp. I would also recommend purchasing a new outside cord. Remember, you are using electricity out in the snow. Be safe. Here is another reference if desired: http://www.ehow.com/how_5236098_choose-extension-cord-power-tool.html

The cord was very short. I had to cut it and splice it onto an extension. It was three prong with a ground. Sorry I don't know the original length, but I suspect it was less than 2 feet. In my opinion, this should only be bought for a replacement on the original parts washer for which it was designed. Good luck.

That is the same model I bought this power cord for and it is great, but the cord isn't as long as original. No problems though:)

The motor does not come with a power cord. You'll have to buy one at a store such as Home Depot or Lowes. The power cord should be a three wire cord rated at 15 Amps and I crimped some slip on conductors to push on to the tabs under the connector cover. The motor I bought had a wiring diagram and I followed the diagram.

I just received this fan a few days ago. And the owners instructions say, The attached cord is 6.5 feet (2 meters). And the warranty is 1 year limited

John, I have used a 100 ft 14/3 extension cord for weed wacker, hedge clipper and leaf blower but never snow blower except to start it up.I'm sure you will find a proper answer from another good "Sam". Sorry

I feel obligated to quantify my response.Since I bought this specific brand (Conair), to hopefully duplicate the great service that I have received from my "old" one, I am only able to tell you the length of cord from my older model, which is 72 inches long.

Phil,I ordered a blower for my father in law so I don't have the motor to look at. But yes it has lead wires - 21" sounds about right.

Lasko apparently didn't think that was a priority when they designed the fan. The power cord exits the fan tower through the rear, it is about 10 feet long and has a gfic device integrated into the cord about one foot from the pronged outlet. This fan performs admirably, and I would highly recommend it despite the exposed cord issue.

If you are just testing the blower just use a small extnsion cord to run blower.If you are going to try to use blower to move snow you should use heavy duty extension cord longest you have. Problem is cord will not be very flexible depending on how cold it is where you live. Try to follow up on where your cord is. Cord is very good in cold weather.

I have an 1800. I use a 12/3, for my 100' driveway. I live in the Northeast. I am very happy with this blower because it will throw the slushy and wet snow without clogging, my 2 stage gas powered 10 horse machine will always clog. In fact I find no need for the big gas powered thing, haven't touched it for about 4 years. I cannot tell the difference between the cords when I have used a 12/3 or 14/3 or 16/3. This is why I use a 12/3....Think of the electric cord as a "garden hose", and you are trying to force 120 gallons per minute through the hose. Which will be easier forcing 120 gallons through a 1/2" hose or through a 1" hose. The 1" because there is less resistance to flow because the inside of the hose is wider. So if the Toro 1800 is trying to draw 120 volts (household current), which will be easier?... through a 16/3 guage (small narrow cord) or the thicker 12/3 (wider cord). So that means your Toro 1800 won't be working as hard with the larger cord 12/3, and it will let the motor last longer. The draw backs are that the 12/3 is heavy at 100' feet in length. Also more "work" for the blower to draw current through 100' than it is across 50 feet. So I installed a lamp post with an outlet half way up my 100' driveway. Still trying to be nice to the electric motor so that it will last longer. Now with the lamp post, I use about a 60-70 foot "12/3 cord". My only other advice is try to make sure there are no rocks on your driveway. They have a habit of jamming in the auger, stopping the augers movement, while the electric motor is still trying to turn the paddle/auger. I did burn out a Toro 1800 motor this way.
