Manufacturers are not listening to consumers
Manufacturers are not listening to consumers about the cord length of out door electric heaters. A 6 foot cord is pretty useless. Why don't they provide at least a 12 to 15 foot cord and/or also why don't they offer the proper gauge extension cord so it is safe to use?

We are sorry that the cord length does not meet your needs. Current certification protocols call for a 6 foot cord to be tested and producer almost all issue their products with the recommended cord lengths required for testing. Having longer cords in all products would also drive up the cost of goods being sold. In our user’s manual, and on a label on the cord near the plug end, we have added instructions on what gauge of extension cord should be used with the product. This will be a 14 gauge extension, rated for outdoor use. If you should decide you want more than 50 feet in extension cords then you should go to a better gauge, 12, to compensate for the loss over distance.
