Can a normal heavy duty extension cord be used if necessary instead of purchasing the 75' cord that's available

No problem there. We use a typical heavy duty extension cord with no issues.

I regularly use a 50' industrial cord for extension out from the house. I wouldn't use much more than that, and I would make sure it's industrial/contractor grade.

We've been using a normal heavy duty extension cord since day 1 with no problems.

Yes you can add the Surge to an extension cord, Just be sure to use a heavy duty extension cord with the ground pin

Not that I'm aware. I wouldn't be afraid to use a shop type Orange extension cord. We had a 6 ft one one for a couple of weeks with no problems. Just make sure it is a three pronged so its grounded :)

I like this one, but it might be overkill... Yellow Jacket 2806 10/3 Heavy-Duty 15-Amp SJTW Contractor Extension Cord with Lighted End, 100-Feet

Don't Know. I did not keep this product since it was misrepresented over the phone by the Company. I needed something to clean a very long driveway. I called to ask if i could use a heavy duty extension and extra hose. They said YES, However, when the product arrived the warranty book in Large letters stated never use with an extension cord or hose more then 50 feet. It was returned unused..

I use a regular weight, outdoor rated extension cord, sometimes connecting two for a total of one hundred feet, and I have not experienced any issues.

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

Have used two of these units for two years now as bedroom A/C's and they have performed very well. Cord is about 5 ft. long and I do not believe a person should use an extension cord. I have seen people use a very heavy duty cord (possibly have one made with proper gauge wire and connectors) as short as possible to get them by but it is not a recommended practice. Certainly do not rely on commercially available standard extension cords as they can and will overheat and cause a fire. Check with a local electrician for particulars for safety's sake.

This may seem like a dumb question, but are you using a heavy enough extension cord? You would definitly want to use #12 cord. I have had a comperssor that would not kick only to realize the extension cord was too lite.

Make sure it is a heavy duty extension cord with a polarized plug, and make sure you match the taller sides. I got mine at Home Depot, and it works for me for what it's worth. (I got the heaviest 100' cord they had, and they don't come cheap).

Don't skimp on extension cords. Buy a good one and get a thick (low gage) one that matches their recommendation for the length of cord you plan to use.

the "built in cord" is less than a foot long...yes you need an extension cord.

I would get a heavy duty cord, at least 14 gauge, up to a 100 ft. length. If longer, I'd resort to 12 gauge.

I use a 100ft 14 gauge extension cord. It not been an issue. An alternaive to an extension cord would to use protable generator. I have done that as well. This is a great little tiller for the price.

There is no extension cord provided. The retaining spadce is not adequate for an extension cord.

Cord is only around 3 ft. Yes, you can use an extension cord, but as always, only this heater should be connected to the extension. And I would recommend using a heavier gauge extension cord.
