Can this be used with an extension cord? I need a longer reach for some jobs.

Although I have not used the steamer with an extension cord, I imagine it will work with an appropriate heavy duty 3 prong extension cord as with any other power tool.

Carol, Generally, I would think so. A rule of thumb is not to use an extension cord with a thinner cable than the cable of the unit you're extending. Small frigs don't use much current so I think that this extension cable would work.

Depends on the number of electrical outlets around your house. But you might want to consider a heavy duty extension cord also.

It will extend to about 4 ft. or so, but it requires some effort to make it extend that far. There's so much tension on the cord at that length that it wouldn't stay plugged into anything if the equipment was fixed in place. Either that or it would pull a small item (like a phone) off the table. I'd say that the real-world working limit of length is about 3 feet, maybe a little less.

I don't know but I don't see why not. You mean by using an extension cord? Best to ask Nikon I suppose.

You can use an extension cord but it needs to be the proper size. I think the book gives the specs. If not, they can be found on the minnkota website. I'm think my extension cord is 12 gauge 3 wire grounded because I wanted a 100 foot cord. A shorter extension can be a smaller gauge.

Extension cord . . . . is there an alternative? I suppose you could get a generator out there.....

No you have to buy an extension cord to go with it. Be sure to find a cord that can handle 15 amps.

Yes, it's got a 16/3 grounded cord so as long as you don't over load it, it should work just like any other extension cord except it auto-winds back into itself OK?? Best use is mounting it on the ceiling or wall near an outlet and then just unwind as needed and simply retract; mine has worked flawlessly.

Absolutely! And a question not asked. The cord is really long, can the cord be cut to a shorter length? I did. But you should be careful that you know what you are doing or have someone that does this for a living take of that for you.

I gave that to a friend to use and told her I might borrow. I called her and she has no idea how long but says she does use an extension cord when she uses. Didn't offer to go measure :))

Very likely, however I would ask an electrician before I used an extension cord on any big appliance. Jean

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

Nope. Gonna have to use an extension cord. It might be around 50ft. Not absolutly positive but its still a lil handy thing.

I think you could use it with an extension cord, the cord is probably 3 or 4 feet long I believe and has a regular plug at the end.

Yes. Depending on electrical outlet in relation to where you set up the grill (for us it has been our dinner table) you may need an extension cord.

Its not very long or thick. You could link a few together to wrap around the extension cord....just that you'll need more to them to get the job.... : )
