    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.

    The cord served a purpose to not use a power strip. Looks good and works well. However, the free 2 day shipping took a total of 8 days.

    A great store too look at products, and the prices are fair. How ever the point system, its a bust. I don't buy a computer or 65 inch TV every month. When I do my points from my last big ticket purchase are gone. I am retired US Air Force, so I can purchase a big TV or Apple Computer with no tax, at the base Exchanges.(PX) usually about or the difference in the price.eview But, as Im sure you know I'm still a pretty good Customer of Best Buy. I usually buy at Best Buy with my Best Buy card.

    It’s an average power cord. Serves the purpose I bought it for, probably can find one cheaper at the orange store but I needed it then.

    I was looking for computer power cords. I should have looked closer at them when I picked them up. I will find some other use for them later on.
