    best to find out, before buying.
    they are usually indicated somewhere in the unit's packaging.
    personally, i would get one with twice the intended gadget's requirements.

    btw,
    if the packaging does not indicate the electrical limits,
    those numbers on the plugs are probably NOT the cord's limits, but rather, the plugs' limits.
    you will probably have to find out the size of the wires used, and consult tables for their respective electrical limits.

    good luck.
    i was thinking, the washer is around 1800watts. this extension limits is 2000watts. will this be Ok?

    ^ those extension cords use only gauge 16 wires. I would recommend using an extension cord with gauge 14 or 12 wire and 15A rated plug to be on the safe side. Over time due to prolonged use the wires will heat up and may cause a short circuit. If you say your washer is 1800 watts, its ampere rating is about 8A. Don't let your power cords be soaked in the water when washing. My Karcher K2 is rated 1400 watts

    been using it to wash 2 cars, bikes, floors, bathrooms, etc. i think it'll last. if if breaks it's just P2200 anyway then i'll get those heavy-duty types that the wash shops use

    i havne't checked out the bosch you're talking about but eyeballing the black & decker at ace hardware i'm pretty sure it's made by the same factory as my fujima


    still alive in 2024

    but i didn't know that you have to do oil changes on these things
