You've got it! Good catch on that extension. 20% over is probably safe, if the manufacturer rated it with enough headroom.

The outlets are installed per-code by licensed professionals, there's nothing to worry about. You can't install them yourself without breaking the law, unless you happen to be a licensed professional.

Yup. With good reason. I DO actually want to get a 240V installed specifically for this purpose myself. Just too pricy to justify/afford at the moment between permit and electrician costs. I'd wager that the cost is well outside of the realm of affordable for a good portion of people, especially those who are not licensed electricians or able to buy a home.

Yeah getting new ones installed is costly, but most homes & apartments should have at least one and these 25ft extension cords are likely more than enough as a substitute unless you get really unlucky where the only one is in the basement which would really suck.
