Can this be used with a heavy duty extension cord for out door use

We used it outside often. On a side note, the device died on us last year after about 2 1/2 years of use. I wouldn't say that we used it often, but when we used it we kept it running pretty consistently.

I only use it outdoors and the reason I bought it. But, if I were to purchase another outdoor mister I would get a rotating upright fan. This will cool only one person and you need to be close to it so you can get wet.

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.

That would be nice. But, no. You will need a good quality outdoor extension chord. I would suggest 100 ft.

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..

Hello Wendy, I use an standard outdoor extension cord for light duty. I have heavier outside cords but they're not as easy to maneuver when trying to make sure I don't run it over. Home Depot, Lowe's or even Walmart will carry the cord.

Would not suggest that. I purchased a heavier outdoor cord from Lowes and burried it under the driveway 3 years ago for a fencer. No problems. Hope this helps... Bill

I don't see why not...extension cords are usually smaller in diameter than garden hoses. (That's not too bad an idea!)

Just buy an outdoor extension cord from Home Depot or Lowes and it will work fine. Just don't run it over with the mower

Glen, it would work fine IF the connectors would fit within the enclosure. It is a tight space - I am using it on two outdoor extension cords (the orange ones) which are larger than the normal plug - they fit with a little room to spare. The holes on each end are very snug for heavy wire but I suspect it would work - not hard to open then a tad for a forced fit also. Hope that helps.

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.

This is not battery operated so it all depends on how long your extension cord is.

I would NOT recommend this for outdoor use. You need an extension made for outdoor use, and, the correct cord to carry the power you need to satisfy whatever you will be running outside (vary from 16, 14, 12, etc. gauge, about 6 ft to 100 ft lengths). I would suggest a visit to your local Lowes, Home Depot or home center with your exact usage needs and ask for someone with electrical experience.

Not possible - Not advisable - There are two three pronged male plugs on the unit. To plug it into and extension cord would leave one open and be a shock and fire hazard.

No. It has a short cord at the handle and you need a long outdoor extension cord. I purchased the Extreme Weather Cord on the Amazon site.

I didn't use an extension cord, so I really don't know. Looking at both ends of the wire, I don't know if you could use an extension.

You might be able to use it by itself if the outlet is in the perfect position; I didn't measure it (it's under three feet of snow right now) but I use it with a grounded extension cable from my garage. The electrical resistance isn't so great as to become a safety issue with an extension.

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