Unfortunately, I don't have an outlet very close to the toilet and having one installed is quite a pain. Can I plug it in into an extension cord?

OK to use extension cord that meets amp requirement (for heating element), plugged into GFCI outlet for safety in water area. Tape connection to avoid water entry between plugs.

We did, we installed outlet in adjoining closet and used extension cord. We used a GIF outlet. Good luck.

I don't see why not. That's what I did. Remember to either seal off the connection with glue so it won't get contacted with water etc. or hang the connection portion on a hook so it does not dragging on the floor. Just to be safe.

Yes you can as long as extension cord is grounded. Go to your hardware store and get cord that has grounding. it will work just fine.

The plug in is a typical 3 prong plug in. A power surge cord should work ok. I really like ours we have one in each bathroom. We have regular power outages where we live and the first power outage we realized anytime the power is off there is a reset button on the side. So keep that in mind should you ever discover seat isn't working

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

Yes, a three prong extension cord is strongly recommended vs. a two prong with an adapter which can be dangerous.

Not real long. Approx 18 inches or so. Typical placement would generally be at the elect outlet anyway. You generally would not have normal use by plugging extension cord into the outlet but instead would plug timer device info the outlet and then plug extension cord into the timer to feed whatever you have intended to be controlled by the timer.

The cord is very short. I recommend you have the unit out of the box if you are having an outlet installed so it will be put in the right place. If you already have an outlet the unit will need to be very close to it. Consider that the outlet may need to be rotated 180 degrees (if that is even possible) if you want the cord to go straight down and plug into it. Otherwise you will loose a lot of length if you have to turn it upright.

you can not use a extension cord it has to have a direct plug from the wall

Yes. May need an extension cord though, depending on how close you are to an outlet. The cord is understandably short for a portable device.

the "built in cord" is less than a foot long...yes you need an extension cord.

Yes you can connect to any power point in your home ( hope your house is a normal size house) and get internet at good speed. I have not tried extension cord (I guess that should work too)

Yes; the plug has a grounding pin, so it needs to be plugged into a grounded wall outlet (a grounding adapter can be used if the wall outlet is not grounded, according to the included instructions). Do not use an extension cord or power strip.

Yes but you need electrical skills. It's not plug and play. You might consider another extension cord to reach the outlet.

The unit is quite easy to install. An electrical outlet must be available near the unit. The unit comes with an adapter to tap into the existing water supply for the toilet. If the existing water supply is not a flex hose, then I would recommend replacing it with a flex line. Would recommend using a GFI outlet.

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.

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................

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.

Yes, you just put a plug in the lower outlet. Not sure, but it may even come with one.

All you need is an extension cord to plug into the back of it. It doesn't come with any cord.

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.

I didn't use a extension cord. I power up direct to a outlet in my garage where I have this house.
