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.

If these are shoddy then I'm surprised. I really like their UPSes.

But the quality of lots of things have been falling lately.

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.
The only rudeness here is the likelihood of a house burning down.

If the company improved the design and manufacturing, it should state that on the product. Otherwise, these are a threat to life and property.

Uh oh, after reading these comments I should probably reconsider my setup. I have this plugged into the garage door opener outlet daisy chained with a second one to power two Govee outdoor lights...
How much power is running through which plug and for how long can affect the degradation of the plug. If you have lower power draw LED lights connected to this and the garage door runs at high draw for 20 seconds then off for hours you won't get the plug hot enough on regular cycles to cause the rubber/plastic parts to crack and split as easily as using say a space heater and a 1000w computer plugged in mining crypto all day.

Yea, not exactly HEAVY DUTY, I think it's 16ga wire inside really sketchy quality plugs. Fine for wall-warts but nothing higher amp.

Check review photos, hazardous construction to say the least
Whoa that is really bad. I can't believe CyberPower put their name on such junk.

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

these are fine for anything LIGHT DUTY, like, routers, cable modems, and stuff like that, I wouldn't use this for anything that needs lots of constant power, these things will overheat, it's only 18 AWG

IMHO: Looking at the 1 star reviews seems pretty consistent; two reviews right next to each other 7 years apart: 1) Oct 2018 with pics & 2) July 2025.
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!

This is a great tool to connect 2 lights to the light switch connected ac receptacle. Second usage is increasing the height of the receptacle so bulky

I use similar just to be able to use my Kill-A-Watt because the design blocks an outlet. So I can run a quick test without a full ext cord.

The bigger issue is why do companies have to release plugs with weird shapes? We shouldn't need products like this
