What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cord's heavy-duty construction, thick 12-gauge wire, and flexible rubber insulation, noting it outperforms standard alternatives and handles demanding applications like welders and EV chargers reliably. The lighted plug feature is frequently highlighted for convenience in low-light conditions, while the right-angle design fits neatly against walls. Most appreciate its robust build and cold-weather flexibility. A few note the plug configuration is incompatible with standard 15A outlets, and some mention confusion about product descriptions, but these concerns are minor compared to widespread satisfaction with quality and performance.

Love seeing American - made quality! The tag says “indoor Use Only,” but don’t let that fool you - this is SJTOW cord is fully outdoor rated, tough, flexible, and handles Arizona heat with ease. I’m glad they didn’t let the lawyers jack up the price with extra bureaucracy, so you get medium duty performance at a fair price. Perfect for gigs, speakers or any temporary outdoor use.

For a light duty extension cord this one seemed well made with good ends. It seems like it will hold up well over time. I used it to hook up a light under a metal carport so worked out great!

Not shipped directly from Lowes
First of all the review is not directly about product quality, as I'm sure it works fine. This is a warning about the purchasing process for this product. It does not ship directly from Lowes, but from a third party. The delivery date was 3-5 days after ordering, and a week after the delivery date expired the product hadn't even shipped yet. I tried to cancel the order since I can literally run down the street to get this, (since I was then off work and the convenience of online ordering...

it's not what it says it is
we bought this for an RV extension cord because it said it was 10 gauge. the RV only pulls 10 amps so we thought it would be fine. NOPE. when the male end burned out after a month and a half i bought a new male end. while putting it in, surprise surprise, it's only 12 gauge.

Improper Ground
Attempted to used the extension cord but what I was plugging in would not function correctly. When I plugged in a electrical receptacle tester it said that the ground was faulty.

a bit deceiving
Picture is misleading. It shows two plug protectors attached to body to cover receptacles not being used. This would have been nice, but this item had no such covers attached as shown in the picture.

Manufacturer sent wrong cord.
This item took over 3 weeks to arrive. Missed multiple supposed delivery dates. When it finally arrives as a dropship directly from the manufacturer it is the wrong cord! Received a 50' Green cord with yellow stripe instead of the bright ping with yellow stripe I ordered. How the heck to you get that wrong? HOW DOES THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THEM GET THAT WRONG?

Where is my order?!
Can't really review the cord because it has not yet shipped. Ordered on Nov 1st, and still has not shipped. Was supposed to be delivered Nov 13th & today is Nov. 19th. Lowes said it shipped Nov 16th via Fedex but Fedex does not have the package yet, Nov 19th. Lowes is not very good these days. Seem to have really gone down hill the past several years.

Not worth the money
This cord never worked! It has a box on the end where you plug into which it doesn't show in picture, I plugged it into generator the plugged my fridge the cord tripped pushed the reset button never turned green again. Wasn't able to use it when my power went out for 5 days.
