No, I mean they are sorted far back with Amazon's default algorithm. They are not sorted chronologically by default.
Brother, the low quality housing is busting apart on people. People are showing the shoddy work of the internals. People are showing actual fire hazards for a cheap, low quality cord. I don't think these people are being rude. If anything, CyberPower and Amazon are rude for selling this garbage to people. They should be sued.
Community Reviews
This short outlet extender is best for tight spaces, letting bulky AC adapters, garage door opener gear, lights, routers, or a Kill A Watt fit without blocking the neighboring outlet. The 6 inch length makes it more like a compact splitter than a true extension cord, which is handy behind furniture or in crowded receptacles. The main concern is build quality and safety, with repeated reports of flimsy housings, exposed wires, and overheating or fire risk, especially under higher power loads. It fits light duty use better than heavy duty jobs.
Common Questions (4)
It works well as a short outlet splitter for tight spaces, behind furniture, or when a bulky AC adapter blocks the adjacent outlet. It is also used to raise the receptacle position slightly so two plugs can fit, or to power low-draw devices like garage-door opener accessories, lights, routers, and Kill-A-Watt testing setups.
It is best treated as a light-duty outlet extender, not a heavy-duty cord. Comments describe it as 16-18 AWG with sketchy plugs, suitable for routers, cable modems, wall-warts, and similar low-draw devices, but not for space heaters, mining rigs, or other constant high-power loads that can overheat it.
Several comments describe cracked housings, exposed live wires, and inconsistent internal construction, including soldered versus pressed joints. Those reports make it a product to inspect carefully and avoid burying behind furniture if you choose to use it.
Yes, it has been used in garage-door-opener outlet setups and to power low-draw outdoor lights, especially when the outlet is only a few inches from the device. The short 6-inch length makes it useful in these cramped installations, but the load should stay light.

But the quality of lots of things have been falling lately.
If the company improved the design and manufacturing, it should state that on the product. Otherwise, these are a threat to life and property.
The Etekcity ones from Amazon you would see FP all of the time are much better made than this. I must have a dozen+ of those over the last 10 years, all still working just fine and used 24/7/365

They may have been improved, which is why the bad reviews are "buried pretty far back" but very few reciently. I use them to be able to plug AC adapters into walls and power strips without taking the adjacent outlets. You can findbad reviews for everything on Amazon with people that either weren't using the thing correctly, or just want to be rude.
To the point: what would concern me is anyone who used one of these poor quality plugs and buried it behind a bed, table, ect only to have a tug split the connector housing in half break exposing the live wires like in the pictures... sounds like fire to me and something to avoid - Why I always read 1 star reviews.

Mine broke and exposed metal still plugged into to the wall. This isn't a safe product to own.

I ordered two of these, one worked ok, and one didn't. When the plug moved, it would shut off the appliance. I had a bad feeling about the one that was working, so I pulled the working one and took them both apart.
Both purchased at the same time, both with the same code and other markings, both built differently. One was soldered construction and one was a "pressed" type of construction.
The soldered construction plug had a broken solder joint (see in pictures). The "pressed" had stray strands of the copper wire after the press joint where it could interfere, or arc to another lug (see in picture).
Beware!
i like it... that's what she said.
