Hi - I am looking for a flat extension cord to go under an area rug so i can plug lamps in behind sofa with out a "lump" in the area rug. Would this

Electric cords should NEVER be placed under rugs or carpets. This is a FIRE HAZARD! The cord can overheat, people walking on cord can cause the insulation on the wire to fray and spark. Make sure to read the instructions on electronic product's packaging.

The cord part, the part that would be under your rug, is the same as any other typical household extension cord. The only thing flat is the part that plugs into the wall.

I think this would work. Of course it would still have a small lump, but it would only be truly noticeable if the rug was very thin. This was the flattest extension cord I could find when I was looking.

very dangerous to run a cord under an rug. get a longer cord and run it around the room. Its safer.

I used it behind a small cabinet up against the wall in the kitchen. The plug in the wall is probably about a 1/2" thick. The receptacle part for other plugs to plug into is about normal size as well as the cord itself. Only the wall plug is thinner.

I bought an extension plug to use with mine, however I was not pleased with the suction of this at vacuum and returned it. Loved the concept of having it readily available for my new car and it came with a very nice carry bag, but it had trouble vacuuming minimal debris.

I live on the first floor apt. building and I plugged it in my wall socket in the livingroom and fed it outside to grill. I had more cord than I actually needed...it was great but if you are a distance from your plug, then I would suggest a grounded extension cord.

Kate you would need an outlet; I thought of the same thing; I have an outlet in my garage but Ill probably have to use an extension cord; don't know if I helped you; but its a great vacuume; Danielle

The manufacturer wants to protect itself from legal liability should a consumer use a thin indoor lamp type extension cord that shorts out in the rain or gets bitten through and electrocutes a cat. I use a thick high quality extension cord combined with a water resistant connector between the bowl's cord and extension cord. Also, you should always connect outdoor devices to a GFCI outlet.

It is one of the bigger square transformer type plugs. 1-3/4" Wide x total length with plug for cord 3-1/2 " that is with everything attached. I use one of those long extension bars on the floor and plug the branches in it, and plug that into the outlet. I love them.Everything I have bought that has lights on it has these bigger plugs. It will fit into the regular outlet. But mine are behind a couch, this is easier to just hit the switch rather than try to get behind the couch to reach it. It has o really nice long cord so it will reach pretty darn far. Hope this is helpful? Any other questions, I'm here.The one person said they are bright.... I consider them warm, not the bright LED type.at least mine aren't.

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

regular extension cord with 3 prong grounded female end will plug right into the unit. buy this item ! i highly recommend it !

The cord is probably about 2 feet or so. Yes, you can add an extension. It fits a regular electrical wall socket. I can use it on my desk and leave it plugged in to the wall with no problem.

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.

I think you'd need a very long extension cord :-) As the other commenters have pointed out, an inverter would be required. You can get these that plug into the cigarette lighter socket (12VDC), and put out 110VAC. That way you can plug the massage cushion power pack into the AC side of the inverter.

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.

No, it is a fairly low wattage device (250 watts; for comparison, a common home space heater can consumer 1000-1500 watts), so any decent grounded extension cord should be fine.

I think you want something different. If I understand the question, you are looking for an adaptor. I have that problem as well in my older house. I also have a lot of adaptors in my outlets.

i would buy the adapter ends. They adapt 3 prong to 2 prong and cost about a buck . However,they do sell 3" extension cords that are 2 prong in local hardware stores. BEST BET IS TO SEARCH A BIT HARDER ON AMAZON

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.

Ah... I found these other answers confusing, but I have a similar one so it seems easiest to be to say... this is NOT an extension cord! Whatever you plug-in will just be piggy-back plugged right into where this plugs into the outlet, making it stick out of the wall double than usual essentially. The cord length is ONLY for switch-purposes.
