What size extension cord is recommended?

I don't know how light a cord you can use so I always use a #12 with all my power tools just to be safe.

With a heavy duty / outdoor type chord, the length is your choice based on how far away you'll be cutting from a 3 point grounded outlet. I use a 50 ft.er

It would depend on how far and what gauge extention cord. I would use a 10 gauge 25' cord.

The cord on this unit is six feet in length. The cord is 71" plus the length of the cord cap gives you the extra inch. Manufacturers often frown on the use of extension cords but if one is required, use one that has 14 gauge or larger wire and keep it only as long as needed. A good example of this is the Coleman Cable 3531 14/3 General-Use Appliance Extension Cord, 3-Feet found at http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cable-General-Use-Appliance-Extension/dp/B00004SQH5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1400340193&sr=8-2&keywords=coleman+appliance+extension+cord+3%27.

If I were you I would order the extension wand...just my experience. As far as the cord is concerned, I found it too short for more than "utility" use such as car seats, furniture, etc.

The cord is between seven and eight feet in length. I would follow the manufacturers recommendation as to whether you should use an extension cord or not.

12 or 14 gauge will be fine. But if the cord is over 20ft, I would use 12 gauge.

I would get a heavy duty cord, at least 14 gauge, up to a 100 ft. length. If longer, I'd resort to 12 gauge.

Short. Just over two feet. And if you need to use an extension cord, it can't be a standard one, you'll need a heavy duty grounded cord (the shorter the better) rated for this amount of current.

About 4ft, I believe, but I have not measured it because it is long enough for most setups. Do not use an extension cord as the unit draws too many amps and the cords/plugs get too hot. I had to create a cord using 12/3 heavy electric cable with a heavy plug on one end and an outlet box on the other end for safe operation. I bought the cable and ends at the local home improvement store. The cable is sold by the foot, so you can make the length you need.

you can use a regular extension cord as long as it is a single outlet type. like the orange lawn kind.

When using an extension cord, be sure to get one that is pretty thick, at least 12 gauge.

About 4 feet - I bought a 3 foot heavy duty appliance extension cord - unit runs fine. . . .hope this helps.

Cord is only around 3 ft. Yes, you can use an extension cord, but as always, only this heater should be connected to the extension. And I would recommend using a heavier gauge extension cord.

I believe it is 8 ft cord. Does not require a lot of power so if you need to use extension cord there should not be a problem.

Home depot. Get an orange 3 foot standard extension cord with one outlet on the end (like you use for a table saw) should fit perfect

I used the 3' length, but did have to connect a 3' extension cord to the plug in order to reach to my electric source. Works fine....

The cord is not too long about 4 to 5 feet. If you decide to use an extension cord make sure it is a heavy duty cord with at least 12 guage wire.
