I need an extension cord in my apartment and had gone through 2 extension cords a defective one I purchased through Amazon and one from the store both messed up or had slots not working. This extension cord I fell in love with b/c it comes with tabbed like stickers to put on the appliance your gonna connect in order to match it and know what you are disconnecting. I liked this because sometimes I need to disconnect something and instead of finding the right cable to disconnect the color labels tell me! In addition it has phone outlets on the extension cord which I did not use but I thought was nice. And there is a power button that turns everything on and off. There is also a button that protects it from over heating that shuts it off and you can reset it at the bottom. Great product for me sturddy and efficient.
