"Cute" maybe, not smart. It doesn't seem easily replaceable (or even inspectable for damage) It's not portable / it's fixed to that particular socket. So, if I occasionally need an extension cord in the garage and in the den I need to buy two of these instead of only on cord. It's more complex, almost guranteed to be more expensive and more prone to break down. Winding a cord that tightly probably damages it unless it's specially constructed. Doesn't look like it can be all that long. 50',75',100' ext cords are common.
