Kal - Lose that 100' extension cord and get one (12ga.) just long enough to reach a 20 amp plug in another room...I use a 15' extension cord for mine and run it from a 20 amp circuit down the hallway.
If electrical codes are anything like here, you should have 20 amp circuits powering your kitchen, dining room and bath plugs. A good hair dryer pulls in excess of 1500 watts. The washer circuit is also an excellent choice if within reach.
