Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit, when my husband told me he wanted one of these for Christmas, I thought it was one of those TV gadgets that just looked handy, but wouldn't ever be used. But, I humored him, and ordered this for him. Well, after he installed it on the garage wall, I went out and tried it out. It works great! He uses cords in the garage and I use them in the yard, so no more cord-winding for us. Plus, it's stored out of the way up on the wall. 5 stars for the Wonder Winder! Customer Review: It's a Lightweight
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased to use with leaf and snow blowers and use a 14/3 extension cord. I couldn't get it to work with that gauge and I doubt anyone can. I should have read the reviews more carefully. Probably good with more typical, lighter load cords.Customer Review: A little quirky, but not all that bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This product works better on lightweight extension cords. It has trouble "grabbing" 14 and 12 guage cords. If the extension cords are wet forget about it, you'll have to hand-feed the cord into the holding basket because the drive wheel is just not "sticky" enough to grab the heavy cords. Even if you have to hand-feed the extension cord into the basket, which is rather tedious, this Wonder Winder is still a good option to store an extension for an electric snowblower or lawn mower.Customer Review: Awesome, easy and reliable

I own three of these tools and they are simply wonderful. For the past 2 years they have done exactly what they were meant to do - wind, contain and organize extension cord - I have 2 in my garage and 1 in my shed. I have used both orange 14/3 guage cord and yellow 12/3 guage cord. I have 150' of cord stuffed into each (1 roll of 100' and 1 roll of 50')and it handles it like a champ!!! I would suggest when you attach it to your wall to ensure drilling into the studs for a stronger bite - I replaced the screws that came with it and used some 2" galvenized deck screws to make sure I had plenty of holding strength. For best results when stowing the cord straighten it out, but, if you just don't feel like it, then don't - it will wind it up all the same. If you live in colder climates realize your cord might get a bit stiff and winding takes a little patience (i noticed i had to release and engage the tension handle a few times to get a good grip on the cord) but it has certainly been no hassle what-so-ever, saves time, keeps the garage clutter free, I never need to look for the cords and my wife loves the ease of using it when she hooks up the electric hedge trimmer. Did I mention it was a steal at $20? I would have paid as much as $40 AND I'M CHEAP!!! Awesome, easy and reliable, what more could you want out of a tool? Actually, I can think of 1 thing; would have been neat to get a swivel attachment for the wall to hook this to - THEN it would be PERFECT!!
