Best Extension Cord with Flat Plug: 5 Cords Compared

GE lists the 69869 as a 3-ft, 16-gauge flat extension cord with three grounded outlets, an angled flat plug and a UL listing for dry indoor locations, rated 125V, 13A and 1625W per the title and bullets. The spec table contradicts this: it lists the amperage as 20A and the wattage as 2500W, and it lists a 2-pack size while the rest of the listing describes a single cord with a unit count of 1. The title and bullets are more specific, so we trust them, and the cord is scored as a 13-amp, 1625-watt cord.

Who it's for: someone who needs three grounded outlets behind a desk or media center with furniture close to the wall. Who should skip it: anyone who needs a longer cord or a stated outdoor rating.

Its Office Score of 9.7/10 comes from performance 29/35, build 21/25, value 21/25, safety 7/10 and warranty 5/5: 83 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

Surge protector limits. Look for a UL 1449 listing, never plug one strip into another, keep the total load under the stated rating, and replace the unit after a major surge or when its indicator says protection has ended.
