Will this not work with a long extension cord?

I bought a heavy duty extension cord. It works just fine. Powerful. I love it.

If you are going to use an extension cord get a good thick gauge one. A cheap thin cord would probably provide too much resistance.

I have used my log splitter with a 100 ft ext. cord and didn't lose any power at all. I don't know if they recommend it but I have done it

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.

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.

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.

Yes, i have not tried that but do not see why it would matter how far or short the extension. unit works nicely

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

Not that I'm aware. I wouldn't be afraid to use a shop type Orange extension cord. We had a 6 ft one one for a couple of weeks with no problems. Just make sure it is a three pronged so its grounded :)

I have mine plugged into a power strip and it works perfectly fine. An extension cord should work just as well.

Yes...it has a very usably long cord. No problem at all with cord length. Very good product overall.

The cord for this was only 6 feet long, which is why I returned it and ordered a similar setup with a 15-foot cord. The cord for this is attached to the unit. Just think of it as an extension cord with a really big female plug end on it.

There's only a 6" long cord. You are suppose to connect your extension cord to it

Hi, I don't have an extender to corroborate my answer to you,But isy believe that it wouldn't work with the extender. I hope you can get a more sertain answer from some one else. Good luck!

The book says not to , but it has a short cord that makes it impractical not to use an extension . I used a short heavy duty air conditioner cord on mine and I'm sure it will be fine . You probably wouldn't want to use a cheap lamp cord type extension cord .

Yes. This is heavier duty, and the longer you run an extension cord the heavier duty it should be. If anything this will give you an extra measure of safety.

Yes, it should, although what I am using it for is to hide the Monster cable speaker wires going to the back of the surround set up. I guess it would depend on how big it is, but I think it should hold a normal size extension cord.

this is an extension cord if you will for USB. It should work with any standard USB device as long as the total distance is less than 15 feet (the limit on distance for USB type equipment). In reality I have used two of these plugged together to run 25 feet. It has always worked but does violate the length limit standard for USB.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it
