Is it safe to attach to an extension cord?

Yes, the amps needed for the use of this throw blanket works perfectly fine with a fully functioning extension cord.

As long as the watts are the same it shouldn't be an issue although mine came with the extension cord when it was delivered.

I don't think so. I don't see an place where you could attach it. There's an on-off switch close to the end of the plug in cord.

The instructions say not to use with an extension cord. I do it anyway. I'm a rebel like that.

If you understand that extension cords, like other forms of wire, as well as hoses, are manufactured in "coils", and like to return to their natural state when storing you'll be OK. You just have to let them naturally coil, as you wind it up. It will involve a little twisting by you, to get the wire to neatly coil, but it's not a big deal at all.

Does not work on an extension cord. U have to plug directly into outlet. this is a safety feature. Something isn't plugged in tight.

Not possible - Not advisable - There are two three pronged male plugs on the unit. To plug it into and extension cord would leave one open and be a shock and fire hazard.

yes you can an extension chord but make sure it is a heavy duty one not the typical one that you would use for a lamp. and appliance type extension cord is recommended.better yet Avenue outlet installed

Yes you can as long as extension cord is grounded. Go to your hardware store and get cord that has grounding. it will work just fine.

Sure. You just need to ensure the connector and electrodes are not compromised. Adding an extention should be no problem.

It should work, though I haven't tried to clamp around individual wires on an extension cord. Someone could unclamp it to defeat your monitoring.

A regular outlet that is seen in most American households is appropriate. Do not plug into an extension cord but directly into the wall. It comes with a cord for use in an American outlet...don't know which number that is. The temperature drops about 10 degrees, give or take a few degrees when pressing, and I can use it on top of plastic folding table.

Yes, I do once in a while use an extension cord, BUT I recommend it has to be a quality gauge cord to prevent the cord from getting hot. I first used a cheap low grade extension cord . It worked fine but I felt it was warm. I used a heavier duty cord and it was fine...

Can they be plugged into a dedicated extension cord that is not a power strip or surge protector?

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

Maybe I'm unsafe but I have always used an extension cord. I would not use an indoor rated one, however. Only use a heavy duty outdoor cord.

OK to use extension cord that meets amp requirement (for heating element), plugged into GFCI outlet for safety in water area. Tape connection to avoid water entry between plugs.
