Review on Tripp Lite Heavy Duty πŸ”Œ Extension P024 010: Empower Your Electrical Reach by David Bar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally! No more unplugging splinters with the 1800W deep fryer!

I bought this primarily for use with my Waring 1800W fryer which we use in the garage rather than the kitchen. With outlets so far apart that the tiny cord that comes with the fryer obviously doesn't help. However, since this is a 1800 W (15 A) device, only a very durable extension cord can be used without risk of overheating. This fits the bill perfectly - it's EXACTLY the right length, THICK (heavy duty) and holds up great. There are no loose connections at the overheat outlet, which could very well happen with something like a fryer or heater (which is also great). I have previously used a 15A power strip in combination with a smaller heavy duty power strip, but this setup would result in the power strip tripping on startup for some reason - even though the load is exactly 15A that the power strip is rated for . . . However, this longer (single) cord solved the nuisance tripping issue and also didn't overheat due to the correct diameter (this is THICKER than 14 gauge; the fryer cord is LESS than 16 gauge). I would highly recommend it to anyone. who needs a longer cord for a high drain device or just needs a heavy duty extension cord for added security/durability.
