    Definitely did its job. I needed some more cord length to get to the electrical outlet and this did the job perfectly. The color helped as well. Not the usual orange extension cord we are so accustomed to. The price was right as well.

    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.

    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.

    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.
