Amazon.com Product Description

The Wonder Winder ends extension cord spaghetti for good. With the Wonder Winder, you'll never have to waste time untangling and coiling extension cords again. It comes with two twist-lock mounting plates that attach to a wall of your shop, garage, or basement, or outside of your house--anywhere you have an outlet. You can then just move the Wonder Winder from one location to another as you need it. The unit's basket holds up to 75 feet of 12/3 cord, 100 feet of 14/3 cord, or up to 150 feet of 16/3 cord. Simply plug your tool into the cord end, and as you walk to your work area the cord follows. When you're done, press the rewind lever, turn the handle, and your extension cord is stored quickly and neatly for future use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough!, June 19, 2003

By	Jeffrey A. Smith "jasncompany" (Athens, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had heard some criticism of this item from some who said the Wonder Winder was "light duty," etc. I have only had mine for a couple of weeks, but I don't get the sense that it's light duty for my application (in a hobbyist-level dedicated woodworking shop). I might look to something a bit heftier if I were planning on retracting and extending my extension cord more than 3 or 4 times per day every day... but I can't see this tool ever going bad under my definition of normal use (which is 1 or 2 cycles every 2 or three days).

It's heavily made, and yes... it's a lot of plastic, but it's thick plastic and doesn't have a cheap feel to it at all.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it does protrude a long way from the wall. For me, this is no big deal... but if I were using it in a garage where I had to walk by it a lot, it would definitely be in the way.

Overall, it works as advertised, it's well-made, and adds to the safety of your work environment by keeping the cord off the floor. Plus, when the cord's not getting stepped on all the time, it doesn't get that coating of dust and grime that sometimes appears on cords that stay on the floor.

Great idea!

3.0 out of 5 stars Works Good - Room for Improvement, September 14, 2004

By	brianpsu "brianpsu" (State College, PA) - See all my reviews

Been using this in my garage for 3 months now, works as advertised. Wraps up my 100 foot extension cord like a charm. Only scores 3 stars for the following reasons:

1) Plastic is wearing at the cord output mouth. My cord is not always coming stratight into the front; usually it is on the side. The friction from this is wearing at the plastic (and probably my cord too). Only time will tell if this becomes a bigger problem. Seems they could have avoided this by rounding off the molding of the mouth.

2) The unit extends out for the wall a good distance. Would like to have a swivel option to swing it out of the way. This would also improve #1.

3) The all-plastic construction worries me. It has held up for 3 months, but I am curious to see how it is working in a year from now. It is pretty sturdy plastic, but still plastic.

4) At nearly $27, someone is making a good profit on these things. Unless they were able to meet my #1 - #3 improvements, I feel this would be more appropriately priced at $19.99.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only "reel" choice for cord storage, December 6, 2002

By	S. Michael (Conyers, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Easy to use and works like a charm. You may have to rewind a little slower with stiff extension cord like the "Yellow Jacket" brand, but still a dream. The only complaint that I have is that you only get two female wall brackets. I'd pay extra to buy a few more to put in more locations around the house.
