Will this 16 inch also work on a 100 ft extension cord, like the 14 inch does?

Always use a larger gauge cord than needed. As others have stated, the increase in cable length increases resistance which lowers voltage. In order to compensate for the lower voltage, your motor will draw more current which in time will shorten the life of the motor.

Yes, and I extended up to 150' by connecting a 50'/15A cord to a 100'/20A cord then to a 20A plug on the wall.

I run mine on four 12 gauge 100 ft hd extension cords with no slow down in power.

I put a 25 ft extension on mine and it doesn't make a notable difference. Of course there is always some but with mine I didn't notice anything. They are really short for any room unless it's a really small room do extension cords are the way to go.

Yes, we bought this product to use with our 50 amp 15 foot extension cord. I now can plug this cord into our trailer and directly into power. Without it I could only use it as an extension to my 35 foot 50 amp cord.

This cord is way over kill for what your need. U will wear yourself out dragging it around. Get a 14ga 100ft Husky from the Home Depot and forget about it.

I have 100' on mine. That almost maxes it out. I'm using the Craftsman black rubber. It works very well. Eley offers an extender which would accommodate more.

Yes it will. But remember the longer the cord the lower the gage wire. Ex; 12/3 50 feet max., 14/3 25 feet max.

I would use a 12 gauge extension cord. A 16 gauge would drop the voltage to about 5 volts at the other end.

The mower's connection is 2 prong FEMALE, so any 2 or 3 prong connection will work. What's more important is the gauge of the extension cord. I have a 14 gauge 100ft extension cord. For a 50, 75 and 100ft cord, 14 gauge is recommended. For 150ft, you'll need a 12 gauge cord. http://www.homedepot.com/c/factors_to_consider_when_choosing_extension_cords_HT_BG_EL

Electric cord. A good extension cord will work up to as far as 100 feet if it is large gauge wire.

Not sure what size the yard is but I believe the blower will work beyond 100' with the appropriate gauge extension cord.

It should work. I took previous reviewers advise and used a couple of zip locks to attach the cord at the halfway point within my 100" 10 guage cord - seldom have more than 20' (40' total) of cord unreeled. Takes a little patience - there are better and more expensive mouse traps out there - but it works fine around my home.

Not sure how far you want to go. I have used it with a 100 foot extension cord with no problem. If you are worried, go with a gas blower.

We use a 100 feet 14-gauge and there was no porplem at all. I'd say give it a try and if it doesn't work with your 12- gauge extension cords. Send it back for refund.

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

Yes it will. But if your really wanting 6.5 feet you'll be dissapointed. I remember an equivalent from another company on amazon that advertised their cord being 6.5 ft. If the length matters you might try that brand. It was a while ago so I'm not sure who it was. I just use an extension

John, I have used a 100 ft 14/3 extension cord for weed wacker, hedge clipper and leaf blower but never snow blower except to start it up.I'm sure you will find a proper answer from another good "Sam". Sorry

They recommend you minimize the length when using extension cords. I was using a 12 awg extension but it is no longer than 15 ft. With no problems. 12awg can pull 20 amps through it but I think they want to minimize the resistance which will maximize the current going to the tool. It will work but you may run I to a penetration Issue with the studs which may pop off after a few pulls.
