Why I shop at Best Buy

My latest purchase from Best Buy which is a lighted animated charging cord for my cell phone which I love. It looks like all charging cords are created equal, you usually plug it in and wait until you feel it is charged enough. This lighted cord will let you know when the phone is 100 per cent charged because the light on the cord shuts off. The lighted animated charging cord adds life to charging you phone because it looks like you can see the juice going into the phone as you are charging it and when it gets close to being fully charged the animation slows down. Simply put it is a GREAT purchase and I went out and bought another one because I love it so much. Our phone takes a Type C cord which is slightly larger for it because our Samsung S9 plus phone requires a slightly larger charging port and the new charging cord is for my tablet which has a regular micro port

OK this thing is too cool! With a growing collection of charger cables and micro-usb and type-A usb and whatnot, there is no mistaking this cable. 1 - it is blue so easy to pick out of the pile; 2 - this little sucker LIGHTS UP with a chasing stream down the cable when you plug it in to the phone and then will gradually fade down and then stop glowing all together when your phone is fully charged. How cool is that? Check the online price with BB as the store had it a few bucks higher than online price, but no problems getting the "match" at the register. I'm sure the kids would love this one, but to heck with them I'm keeping it for myself!

It's a short cable, which I guess I must have known, because it's in the description. But it still caught me by surprise. Also the thing lights up. It has a barber pole type effect going on. Which also I must have known because it is written in the description but also caught me by surprise.
What I'm saying here is: I went to buy the least expensive usb-c / usb-a cable I could get (so I could plug my new Oculus Quest into my computer). This was in the clearance section so I scooped it up without reading much about it. I'm so pleased with it, everything about it came as a welcome surprise.

This is a cool charging cord. I've had issues with many cords, but this has been good, with an added bonus. This cord lights up, but not just that, it lights up according to how much the device is being charged. That means the light moves faster in the cord with the faster chargers and slower with the slower chargers, and it stops lighting once the device is fully charged. That's cool. I don't have to interact with my device to look over and see that it's completely charged. You should get this, we all should.

While trying to find another item to get the 25% off for three accessories, I found this one charger left. It said it light up and I did not know what to expect. Upon getting home and charging my phone with it, I was pleased with the blue led light up display to let you know it is charging. It is neat that when fully charged it slows the lights to an almost stop at 100% charged. My kiddos and husband thought it was super cool.

Bought this cord for the my wife one night while we were out and about. We had a car charger and one cord I took from the house. She wanted an extra one for the car. Stopped by Bestbuy and picked this up. She really liked it for the cable lighting effect. And of course the charging aspect. I liked it for the price. It lit up, longer cable, specs, and was cheaper than the normal short cord. No brainer!

Although they are only 3’ long, these Modal charging cords are the only kind I will purchase. The lighted cord not only tells me it’s charging, but it also tells me how close the charge is to being completed. I just wish they came in more than one length and multiple colors.

I use this to keep my iPad charged at my worktable in the garage. Often, I pull up videos showing me how to do something that I'm working on and, as you know, videos can drain power if you watch enough of them. This is a handy size and I like the color better than white (easier to find).

I was concerned when my TV picture kept going blank. I tried everything I could think of but attempting to replace the HDMI cable. I took the old one to Best Buy to see whats what. One of the employees looked at the old one and said it looked worn so I bought the new one with perfect results. Very happy with Best Buy and my new HDMI cable!

I needed a charger cable because I lost my other one. This was inexpensive and worked great. It is cool that the entire cable lights up to show that there is electricity going through it. However, the fact the cord lights up if it is next to you bed plugged in can keep you awake.

I purchased this cable to have a secondary charging cable for my son's S8. I found it unopened in the clearance area, it glows, it charges and the price was right for at least a try. It turned out to be an unrelentingly good deal. The cable not only charges your phone quickly, but looks pretty cool doing it.

A great cable, does what it should, but the cool feature is the lights that stripe and move along it while charging - it makes me feel like I'm in Tron. I thought they would go on continuously but it stops when device is full charged so I have no concerns about leaving it overnight. Great product!

This charging cable is pretty cool! I recently bought a new phone that came with a USB-C to USB-C cord so I wanted to have a USB-C to USB-A cord handy. This one works great and it lights up as the phone is charging. I love it!

I thought I was buying a normal cable. As such, it works fine. When I plugged in my phone to charge it, I was surprised to see that the cable shows the flowing current, with moving lights moving toward the phone. Might not want to use it bedside, but otherwise, it is very cool.

Bought this for my wife's Pixel 3 when another cable had issues plugging into our car for Android Auto. This cable has just worked well.
The only caveat - the cable is illuminated when powered, though this is only visible when it is dark. This might bother some, so be forewarned.

The USB-C is here to stay and for the MacBook Users, this is an excellent and reliable charging cable. I use these with my Apple Lightning devices and have no problems. The lighted effect is always fun to have and the connectors and braided cable have been upgraded and much improved.

Lights Up only when active charging

The nice thing about this cord's feature for having the lights is as it is charging the lights stream and once charged the lights "speed" slows down... best is having it in a car outlet and when the phone is unplugged the light is off. Good so it is not a constant light when not in use.

Bought this as a gift for my gf. I was honestly about to keep it for myself. It's really cool how it lights up only when it's in charging mode. That's a plus for me because it let's me know if I have it plugged it whether I am using it in my car or home. Really happy with this purchase

This cable appears well built and should last. The illumination while charging feature is very cool but is a bit too bright for night time use while trying to sleep. It would work much better during the day and it gives a great visual of your phone/tablet charging.
