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

The cord is about a foot long. You will need a heavy duty extension cord. The unit is powerful and does a great job.

with this unit you can only use extension cords, you do want to use good ones 10 or 12 gage so not to over load the unit and get it hot

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

Yes you can. You have to because the cord is so short. I use a heavy duty grounded cord. It's the same one I use for my trimmer.

Yes, you we'd need an extension cord to power the unit. I had an outlet installed for neatness and not to stumble on the extension cord, regularly.

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.

Not necessarily.Look on the bottom of your unit. The model number is to the left of the bar code.You definitely want to get a cord that is compatible with your unit.

I don't know about this unit but they make cord reels specifically made for extension cords that are cheaper and would probably work better. Amazon has plenty of those.

No. It runs on a cord. There is no extension cord included so you will need one of your own

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

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.

I would not. If extention cord is too small the wires could over heat. If you have a 10 gauge wire extention cord it would work.

I don't know. The info sheet that came with the extender said to email help@getextenders.com to get answers to any questions.

This item is an electric weed-eater and yes, you will need to use an extension cord. If you don't have an extension cord then you will need to purchase one. My weed-eater is working just fine.

The device actually has a short entension cord attached. You can remove the plug in the back and position the device away from the wall socket. Thus, I cannot imagine why an exension cord would would not work fine. The device does not draw a lot of power so there is no danger of overheating an exension cord.

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