    It’s a power cord—it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The 12/16 gauge extension is sturdy and handles power without any issues. It’s reliable, well-made, and perfect for general use around the house or office. No frills, no problems—it just works. If you need a solid extension cord, this one gets the job done.

    Good pick up for quick plug in extension. Nothing fancy just easier to keep one quick access when you dont need 25 to 50 feet or just need a couple extra feet for a single item. In our case plugging in a bug zapper for a cook out. Indoor use so I wouldn't leave outside but higly recommend save some cash when you only need a little bit longer.

    Works outdoors between a house outlet and an electric vehicle charging cord. It slightly slows down how fast the charging cord works, but otherwise does not heat up and does not impair the functionality of the charging cord.

    Works as expected and is not too bulky, so it fits inside of my wall perfectly. Only con was the purchasing experience because when I tried to get these, they were so popular that most stores didn’t have any.

    This is just the basic extension cord, but love the 6 feet length so it is able to be used easily without having to move any furniture. It is a durable cord as well, not one of the flimsy ones you normally find.
