Cables

-100%
" ... The cable coming from the power supply (the part that plugs into the wall) meets the AC socket and enters the housing from the back as it passes through a threaded cap, which is easily removed. ... This means that the wires inside can easily be twisted and broken. ... It's actually a safety hazard because if and when those wires break, it will cause a electrical short which could potentially result in a fire. ... "
" ... A plastic strap is attached to the boot dryers and to the power cord so you can grab the plastic strap when you pull them out of the boots instead of putting stress on the power cord connections. ... "
" ... There is a serious design flaw on the upper power cord (the half that plugs into the outlet) of this product. ... It's a very thin cord, and after only a year or so of occasional use (meaning packing up for travel), the cord has frayed and split open on common bend points. ... "
" ... One negative is the heavy and bulky power cable although it does have a connect for car lighter. ... "
