Customer Ratings & Reviews

I find this very useful and effective, really helps charge my computer while being in the middle of the room. So great I bought 2 of them.

This 6' indoor/outdoor extension cord is a fantastic general use extension cord that is backed by Best Buy and a 1 year warranty. The Specs: This cord is rated for 13A, 125V, and 1625W - which will handle most home application indoor and outdoor. The gauge is 16AWG and it is grounded (3-prong). My Use Case: Personally, I needed an extension cord for my robot mower's charging station in my back yard. I have tons of ugly orange outdoor extension cords that I use around my yard but I needed something more discrete and more of a "purpose built" size so I didn't have to worry about hiding 20' of extra cord. The size was ideal for my application and the black is subtle and blends better with its surroundings. Would a Recommend? Absolutely. Do note that even though it is advertised for outdoor use, the warning on the cable itself does state to keep it away from water and not to use it when wet. For my application, I won't have to worry because it will be out of the weather where it is located but do keep these warnings in mind if you choose to use it outdoors.

[Employee of bestbuy] The Best Buy essentials™ 6’ 16‑gauge Indoor/Outdoor Extension Power Cord is a dependable option for everyday use. Its 6‑foot length provides just enough reach for most setups, while the 16‑gauge wire ensures safe power delivery for small appliances, tools, or electronics. The indoor/outdoor rating adds versatility, making it suitable for both household tasks and light outdoor use. The black jacket is flexible yet durable, and the connectors feel secure. While it’s not heavy‑duty enough for high‑power equipment, it’s perfect for general use where a short, reliable extension cord is needed.

The 6’ extension cord from Best Buy essentials is a great product that delivers on everything advertised. The product is very straight forward. The extension cord comes wrapped in a circle, with the package wrapped around it. It’s easy to open and even easier to use. The extension cord is glossy black, with hard rubber male and female plugs on each end. The glossy black gives it a nice appeal and is a much-welcomed change from the neon orange cords I previously owned. The extension cord is actually a little longer than 6’ which is great because it gives me a little extra length to reach my outlets. The Extension cord is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. It has 3 prongs and is grounded for electrical safety. The cord has a tight grip when plugging other cords into it, making the connection snug and keeps it from falling out. This extension cord works great for giving that extra length needed when the power outlet is just out of range. Overall, the Best Buy essentials 6’ extension cord is a perfect choice for anyone looking for good quality and affordable extension cord, and I highly recommend it.

This cord looks way more substantial than typical lamp cord and reassures you that it ought to be able to handle just about any load that your electronics could draw. I understand that a 16 AWG wire like this one is rated for 13 amps. It is big and relatively thick. When you look for extension cords, you are usually relegated to cords that look just like the cords that run to your table lamps. This grounded cord makes the typical offering look, shall we say, lacking. I placed this cord into service feeling that it is probably going to last my lifetime, and I truly mean that. I have it placed in a console which houses my UPS, and I use this cord as an extension from the mains to my UPS. Multiple devices are attached to that UPS: My television, my cable modem, several different kinds of streaming devices, two networked TV tuners, a computer, and a Blu-Ray/DVD player. I have no doubt that this extension will be able to handle the current draw from those devices with it's hands tied behind its back! It is durable and reassuring and I highly recommend it.

I picked this up mainly to charge my portable jump starter, and for that it's been exactly right. The jump starter stays in my car mainly and i charge it wherever in my house.For nine dollars it's about as straightforward as a purchase gets. My one real complaint is the reach. Six feet sounds like enough until you're actually stretching it toward something, and more than once I've come up just short and had to reposition whatever I was charging instead. If your outlet is on the wrong wall entirely, this won't solve that. I'd tell anyone considering it to go measure the actual distance first, and honestly, to just buy the 12-foot version of this same cord . It's well made, it's safe, and it does what it says. I just should have bought the longer one.

For the price, this extension cord does exactly what I need it to do. I am using it to power a pretty hefty floor fan. It matches the gauge and color of the fan and doesn't get warm. Not really sure what else to say. If you need a single plug extension cord, it works.

Very durable cable that works well for an outdoor use. The dark color helps keep it out of sight.

Just moved my daughter into her college townhome and of course she needed an extension cord to reach the desired area based on her room design. Quick drive to Best Buy, and found the appropriate length for a great price. Works perfectly for her needs

Great product just what I needed. Just the right length not too long

This is a pretty durable extension cord and is good for outdoor use. I have used this outdoors a couple of times but this has mostly been indoors. To give a reference on the size of this cord, this is one built similarly to the ones used to power computers. For some cases, this may be a little too thick of a cord. For my cases, this has been perfect and has been able to be stepped on without any problems.

It's an extension cord that does what it's made to do. Seems durable and not too large (so it can fit in side-by-side outlets). Picked up in store and service was great.

I received a steep discount on this product which drove me to purchase it. So far have had no issues. I’m not sure what the official wattage rating of the cable is but it’s been able to fast charge my iphone. I appreciate the usb-a adapter in case i need it, but I’ve only used usb -c to usb-c so far.

This power cord definitely works on the old laser printer that I gave away to a friend. They said there have been no issues connecting the printer to a power outlet, so that's a good thing! Thanks!

Works great! Strong cord and helped me use my treadmill in the living room without it being completely in the way.

This extension cord is, of course, very simple, but it does its job well. I have had no issues and appreciate its length, as I was able to reach from a slightly too-far-away outlet to get to the area I needed.

Built a new PC and my standing desk setup needed a longer cable from my PCs PSU to my surge protector. Found this extension cable which was rated properly for my needs, and has worked flawlessly, giving my PC PSU power cord on ny desk the necessary slack to go from sitting to standing mode without pulling on my surge protector.

It's an extension cord. It functions and is the length claimed.

I’ve been using this cord for a few weeks with a fan and some power tools. The plug fits securely, and the cord doesn’t feel cheap like some others I’ve bought before. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. No complaints.

this is a good three prong extension cord and a good length for a cord that is going to be used all the time. it is long enough to give you a good extra length but not so long that it sets in the way.
