Question: Can you plug this heater into an extension cord?
Document: It works well and does a much better job of heating than other units in this price range but you have to plug it directly into the outlet. If you use an extension cord or power strip it will blow the breakers after a while.
I find the internal components well assembled and of adequate construction for it's  operation. I have also found that the 16-guage cord that came on my unit (3 years ago) is more than able to supply the 1500watts, or 12.5amps when plugged directly into a 15-amp solid-conductor wall outlet. When plugged into an extension cord, the unit will begin to draw more amperage in order to combat line attenuation and risk either blowing a breaker/melting wiring.
I like this heater. The only problem I have with it is the cord isn't heavy enough. The cord gets very hot and has melted 2 plugs. I think it should be recalled as a fire hazard.
Ive went through 4 of these heaters in the past 4 months. I use it in a 10x10 shed and it gets hot quickly. But as the days went on the thermastat would start to fail. Id have to unplug it and let it cool. Every single time this started to happen frequently id take it right back to the store and swap it out. All 4 had issues... The plug and cords get hot on everyone of them and i worry of a fire hazard.
Over all since it needs regular cleaning especially if its your main heater.
this is a very sturdy heater and lives up to the Stanley name!!! very durable and dependable...highly recommended and works great! !
the heater did not work very well after a few minutes it would shut off or over heat had to unplug let sit then restart
This little Lasko heater performs like a champ. warms up the bathroom when in MN the temps are 60 below!!! !
I like the heater very much I use it in my shop when I am out there working  It keeps me toasty warm
Decent little heater. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Not as strong a flow of air that I would have liked.
Answer: Yes.  You can plug any space heater into an extension cord.   Just make sure that the extension cord is heavy duty and the connections have a good fit.   I use an extension cord on one of my heaters that I made myself so I know it's heavy enough.   I feel no heating of heater cord or extension cord and around the connections.   This is how you can tell if your extension cord is heavy enough.
