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.

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.
