Tools and Hardware Reviews of Green Leaf WW-1 Wonder Winder Hand Crank Extension Cord Reel
Customer Review: Wonder Winder
Summary: 5 Stars
Assembled eaily, and worked as expected. My wife loves not having to try to coil the outdoor electrical cord on the hand-held reel(as do I).
Would suggest that the manufacture creates a front plate cover to prevent the cord from being wound in too far.
Customer Review: Great invention
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the vonder veel...haha... it works good and it makes my garage look tidy and organized. Be nice if it was automatic but for the money it's the best solution I've come across!Customer Review: Could not live without my wonder wheel
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using a Wonder Wheel for years and have it mounted on my outside fence. Definitely a great help with extension cords. My first one lasted approximately 6 years which is great considering that it was never brought in during the winter here in the north east. I purchased another 2 and would highly recommend this great gadget.Customer Review: Great way to store extension cord
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Wonder Winder for several years (have 2) and have found them to work as advertised and pretty much without problems. I got my first unit as a Christmas gift 4 years ago and was impressed enough with it to get another the following year.
The only real problems I have run across are:
1) Protrudes from the wall a good way so you have to position it accordingly.
2) If cord gets dusty or wet, it doesn't wind in as well as if clean and dry.
3) Only 2 bases to mount on wall. I got around this with one unit by mounting one of the bases on a stand that I can carry to any location, which helps with #1 as I can just lean it up against the wall in a corner (stand has folding legs).
4) There is some wear around where the cord enters the unit due to the cord being pulled in at an angle - not so much of a problem with the stand mounted unit as it can be turned in the right direction.
On the positive side:
1) Winds cord well so that it doesn't get tangled.
2) Unwinding cord is easy and quick.
3) Excellent storage capacity for cord.
4) Unit can be moved from one mounting bracket to another as needed.
5) Units have held up well under moderate use for several years, even though they're made of plastic. I'm currently in the market for a replacement because a piece of lumber fell on the one I had mounted on a stand, which broke the mounting base and cracked the main (tan) part of the winder - don't know how long it will last with the crack in it, but, a month later, so far, so good.
The shortfalls are minor compared to the convenience and reliability of the product which is why I'd highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Wonder Winder
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit, I was hesitant to purchase this but I'm glad I did. It really is a time saver and so far it has worked great. I'm a bit concerned regarding how it will hold up. Some of the parts seem a bit light weight and I just hope they don't break. Time will tell but so far I really like it.
