If your cat will not chew on the extension cord it may be safe. I would advise using an outdoor orange heavy duty extension cord.

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

I don't know why not. I also don't know why you want to use an extension cord. If you are thinking about a "power strip" be sure it is not the kind with a switch to turn off the power. If you are concerned about not being able to use the outlet for something else, I have mine plugged into the lower outlet and have a printer plugged into the upper outlet with no problem. If the outlets are horizontal/side by side then there will be a problem as the body of the unit is wide and will cover the outlet next to it. Hope this helps.

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................

Not in the version we purchased. However, as an "extension cord", do they need to be for code?

Not sure but since if an extension cord can be used but the product has a surge protector feature so it could well be ok. Remember that the average wall outlet is for a load max. of 15 amps and the extension cord drain should be of a concern.

Yes. Depending on electrical outlet in relation to where you set up the grill (for us it has been our dinner table) you may need an extension cord.

I have several orange colored extension cords that I connect from the generator to the appliance that I want to use. My neighbor is a retired electrical engineer and that is what he recommended.

You can use extension cords from the 120 vac end of the inverter. It is recommended that you use less than a 100 foot cord, preferably 50 feet.

Of course, but your extension cord must support three prong plugs. However, this device is best utilized by plugging directly into a wall outlet due to its design (that is my opinion not a necessity)

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

Cord length is standard -5 or 6 ft. Yes you can use an extension cord with it.

No extention cords needed , you need to find a spot on your shed that gets a lot of sunshine, the light will go somewhere in that area inside your shed, hope this helps

Yes - but it has a short cable (maybe 3 feet) so you'll need an extension cord.

You can buy plug adapters to extend cables. While it might be the easiest method it is not the best method, and should ONLY be performed indoors. (this is the first one that popped up for me: ASIN: B000BSLW8U). I purchased a 1000' box of cable and a crimper and I've been using it around the house for years.

Yes. But you can only use cords that are thin. Otherwise you will have to take it off.
