Its a power surge extension so you can use for TV as well because you get the same capacity of power when compared to directly plug in to wall surge.

Yes although you may want to purchase an extension cord for headphones, they are cheap, so you don't have to sit really close to the television. The extension will have a female 3.5 mm end and a 3.5 mm male end.

One of those heavy duty (mine is orange) extension cords should be ok. I left my refrigerator plugged into one of those for 5 years and when I had an electician come out to put in an outlet closer, he told me that the extension cord I had been using was just fine...it's just those little flimsy indoor extension cords you should be concerned about. Heavy duty with a three pronged plug and your kitty house should be set! Good luck.

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

I have been using mine several years with one of the heavy, orange, outdoor extension cords and it has worked fine. I do take the precaution as they recommend, to not allow the cord connection to sit in the snow.

We still have ours on a heavy duty 3 prong extension cord and it works just fine. VERY easy to install.

If you're asking about the extension cord that I think you are, you probably can, but I wouldn't recommend your using it for a refrigerator. I tried using that extension cord with a refrigerator I used in the garage, refrigerator developed operating problems, and I had to have repairs made to the refrigerator. I switched to a more heavy duty extension cord and have not had problems with the refrigerator since.

Look, it will work with power strips and extension cords. But if you can, avoid them as that is what the manufacturer recommends. Use them at you own risk. You will get better performance if you avoid power strip. Personally, I use both and have not had any issues.

Ron - This is a very heavy duty extension cord. It will take a fair amount of voltage and amps out to 100 feet without degradation of the current. It is very well built and I doubt that you will easily be able to damage it, or kink it, without really working hard on trying to do that. The one item I will point out is that it is 12/3 wire, 100 feet. As such, it is much heavier than your Wal-Mart special extension cord. But for dependable power, throughout a long distance, this is sturdy, durable, effective, and a great buy. Tom

The 100' cord is rated at 20 amps. However, the connectors are only rated at 15 amps. For maximum safety, the cord should only be used for 15 amp service.

The manual says it is not recommended but if you do use the shortest length possible and use one labeled for outdoor use. I see no problem using a heavy duty cord. Art Dunford

Sorry, don't know about those things. Manual says if you need to use an extension cord that it must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. I hope that helps.

No, it isn't. There aren't any manufacturers of extension cords that will say anything except to never do this.

I used a 50 ft. extension when I used mine and had no trouble. The voltage draw isn't continuous so I would expect no trouble.

Basically, electrical cords are rated by the maximum wattage dissipation within the cord. Too technical? Too many watts can cause the cord to overheat. Watts are the product of volts x amps -- and since we normally deal with 120VAC lines, the rating is expressed as amps. This cord can handle 15 amps. Therefore, if your refigerator wattage (usually found on the refigerator or in the manual) is 1800 watts or less, then the extension cord would work just fine.Regards,

If you do not use an extension cord, keep away from flamibles I would say it should be safe. I use mine in a travel trailer without any problems. Best heater I have ever owned , nothing gets hot anywhere around heater.

I guess it would depend on what you were using at the end of the extension cord. I wouldn't use it with anything that pulls a lot of watts(heaters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc.) Other than that I would think it'd be ok.
