What kind of extension cord should I use with this?

Your local hardware store will have the orange extension cords most everyone uses. Some will argue that you need to get a certain gauge/thickness of cord but I have used an electric lawn mower for decades and have never had an issue using the least expensive orange cord. If you have "thick" grass and plan to mow it while it's wet then you would want to spend the extra money and get the heavier gauge cord. The orange cords are available in various lengths up to 100' so be sure to measure the furthest distance that you will be mowing from your outlets. I find the best way to estimate the distance is to walk from point A to point B and count 2 feet for every step. You could measure your stride if you want a more accurate measurement.

It depends on how long the extension cord will be. Under 50 feet I would go with 14 gauge wire. Over 50 feet I would go 12 gauge wire. I needed a 90 foot extension cord for my yard. I had to make my own wire using 12 gauge wire and have not had a problem with performance. One thing to note, my 90 foot wire is very heavy.

I use a100 foot orange cord. If you need to go further than that, get 25 foot heavy duty cord to attach.

I use a 14 gauge 100 foot orange cord. The 12 gauges are probably recommended, but they are heavier and more expensive. I have never had any problems with my extension cord.

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

I used a regular ext cord. However, I realized the machine would not work well in my dirt unless I build raised beds with new clean soil that has no rocks or roots. It it not a strong engine.

Yes any wall outlet no extension cords, also better to use on low or Econ because high pulls a lot of electricty

We use an outdoor extension cord. If that isn't the problem call the company.

I would think any standard industrial strength extension cord would work, no matter the length. But it does come with a pretty long cord itself, about 6'.

O have an outlet box close to where I use the heater so I don't use any extension cord, however, you should be able to use a outdoor extension cord. I would also use a cord lock cover to protect the connection from rain or snow.

Purchase a 25 ft, 10 or 12 gauge ext cord and you will be fine. Dont plug in any other devices in that socket.

Any cord that has a USB end will work but it comes with a lot of different cords and attachments.

I use the original power supply... The extension just lengthen the power supply cord

Make sure it is a heavy duty extension cord with a polarized plug, and make sure you match the taller sides. I got mine at Home Depot, and it works for me for what it's worth. (I got the heaviest 100' cord they had, and they don't come cheap).

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.

The cord is only about 6 inches long--it is meant to be used with an extension cord. The cord also has a retaining clip that keeps your extension cord from getting unplugged easily.

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