“Why is the cord only 6 inches? Isn't that too short to reach most outlets? Shouldn't it be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension or surge protector?”

The cord is about 4-5 foot long, not 6 inches. Yes, plug it directly to an outlet for optimal performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Amps of a 12 AWG copper wire, including 12/3 is between 20 and 30 Amps. This unit 4.7 AMPs. For your peace of mind use a 15 foot or shorter 12/3 gauge extension cord. The most important thing is the three-prong extension chord as this grounds the unit and protects one from electrical shock. A surge protector is not necessary because the ground wire and 20 amp breaker will protect against electrical shock.
