can I use something like this with adapters as an extension cord for my treadmill which has a 21 watt motor?

My apologies for taking so long to answer...I am not sure; I bought this extension cord for my camper and can't give you a good answer. I'd suggest calling the treadmill manufacturer and ask them. Thanks!

Mark, I'm not an electrician, but as long as your adapters fit each side of the Nu-cord and your treadmill doesn't draw more than 30 amps, it will work.

a regular household plug will not plug into this cord. It is specialized. just get a heavy duty extension cord for your treadmill.

Yes...I believe so but be aware that the adapter only has one plug and limited capacity...for example you can't use an extension cord.

I use mine with an extension cord, just use a Heavy Duty Appliance Extension Cord ...

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.

I don't have my manual anymore, but another reviewer states, "The Mow Joe 14" has a 12 amp motor. Amazon is bundling it with a 16 gauge extension cord, despite the fact the manual states that for extension cord lengths under 100ft, a 14 gauge cord is required. For lengths of 100ft or more a 12 gauge cord is required (gauges work backward so a smaller gauge is a thicker wire)." So, in that case, it looks like the extension cord you are asking about is the right kind.

My machine came without cord. All you need is a normal 16 gauge extension cord.

Always use a larger gauge cord than needed. As others have stated, the increase in cable length increases resistance which lowers voltage. In order to compensate for the lower voltage, your motor will draw more current which in time will shorten the life of the motor.

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.

I don't think you should try using adapters and more battery than this supposed to take 1.5 volts each adding to many 1.5 volts can break it and they will not last as long d is a lot of power just use the d I say

I use Conntek and Coleman adapters from Amazon. They are both short, have lighted ends, and are heavy-duty. I keep them in a canvas tote alongside the generator. I mounted wheels and a handle on the generator so I can easily roll it out when I need it.These are the adapters:Coleman Cable 01915 3-Feet Generator Power Cord Adapter, 10/3 Splitter Y Adapter, L5-30P to (2) Lighted 5-20R andConntek 15340 RV 30-Amp Plug with Ergo Grip to 15/20 U.S Female Connector Light End Adapter I like my set-up and Amazon was fast and very affordable. Good luck!

Yes, you must supply your own cord.... 16-gauge at a minimum, 14-gauge is better, 12-gauge is BEST. Maximum power flow with minimal voltage drop to the motor, out to about 100-feet.... Beyond that, better get a GAS-one....

I am using extension cord to use multiple appliances units, but you must make sure total watts do not exceed max. 3000 watts

Carol, Generally, I would think so. A rule of thumb is not to use an extension cord with a thinner cable than the cable of the unit you're extending. Small frigs don't use much current so I think that this extension cable would work.

I bought a heavy duty extension cord. It works just fine. Powerful. I love it.

Sorry but no. Because a dryer needs a lot of power, it has a different style of plug. This extension can carry a maximun of 20 Amps, your dryer needs 30 Amps. and uses a large "crowsfoot" plug.

You would have to change the ends due to dryer plugs being difference. Also, this is a 30 AMP, 125 V, single pole cord whereas dryer cords are 2 pole meaning that two lines hot (110 V each for a total of 220 V at 15 amps each for a total of 30 AMPs). Care would have to be used on the load specifications and such. It might be cheaper to go to a store and buy 50 ft (or whatever you need) of the right wire and two plugs and make your own extension cord. Menards/Lowes have the available parts.

I have a motorhome with a 50 amp cord. I use this extension when my motorhome cable is not long enough. If you have a 50 amp cord on your 5th wheel you should be able to use this to extend your power cable. The cable has standard RV 50 amp ends that plug into the campground power.
