Another weird thing is the KOPPLA 5 meter extension cable. Why no mention of cable awg? Ikea put detailed dimension for every furniture but not this? I don't mind paying for it if it's 10awg.

we should start a thread on things that users found to be on sales/underpriced/bargain at famous or chain outlets.

That will be putting forums to good use and possibly unite all netizens

Good price. Excellent safety rating. If need 12 AWG even can DIY.

What's the safety rating?

Review from Ikea US:

Did what I was needing. Seems to be a good cord but still don't trust them more then a year. They do tend to catch fire.

I have never tried the Ikea one. But the MK has very rigid and heavy plastic. The spring mechanism inside is not loose also. Even the one i had that had for a few years & its exterior plastic yellowed still clicks and works. But that time i remember buying this for RM23.90 at some electrical shop. I also have those RM2.90 cheapo ones. The mechanism always breaks and the outer plastics will be brittle. If you drop it, chances of it cracking is high.

Yes, then make complaint after buy and use until burned. Get 10x profit after that. That's the game bro. Like insurance, if hit the right condition, we gain big. Go for it and burn it.

Many people buy Belkin surge protector and regret forever.
I wonder how is APC warranty claim.

Frickin lightbulbs are 3 times more expensive than hardware store. They have some cheap items but not electrical items, from what I've seen

I dunno. I would gladly pay more if they can give warranty for a longer lifespan than local generic stuff. But they don't

Does the light bulb last 3x longer?

I will not buy any USB-C cable without knowing its spec. The current state of USB-C is a mess.
Same goes to the old micro USB2.0 - if there is no printing of AWG, I will not buy.
