Wonder Winder is Wonderful 
2008-05-19
I bought the Wonder Winder after buying an electric lawnmower and finding that roling the electric cord back up was the most anoying part of my weekly lawn maintenance routine. I use the Wonder Winder to role up 100 feet of outdoor cord in less that 1 minute. It previously took me nearly 10 minutes to wrap it around a frame. I tried a portable cord reel first, but the Wonder Winder is better because it attaches to a fixed object and doesn't move around.
Works great 2008-05-09
It seems there are 2 mounting options for this.
The mounting option I have is a fixed mount that mounts to the wall.
The other is a bracket and pin allowing the reel pivot.
I think the second option would be better than the fixed mount.
Even with the fixed mount I am very happy with this product.
It cleans up a big mess of electrical cords that I had before.
I was a little upset when I saw this same product at a Home Improvement Chain Store for almost half price.
Overall I would get the product again but make sure you shop around to get the best price.
5 stars for the product. 4 stars for the price I paid for it.

This cord reel works great and keeps cords tangle-free and ready to use. It held an 150 foot cord easily. The only drawback is that it really needs to be mounted to the wall. I had hoped to use it "hand-held" but it is rather awkward that way. For the price it is unbeatable!
Super Product 2008-04-30
This is the second Wonder Winder I have ordered for myself and have also given one as a gift. It is such a time saver not to have to untangle a mess of cords everytime you need one. I have one mounted in the front yard and one in the back yard. It unwinds as you need it and when finished take just seconds to wind back up. Love it.
WONDERFUL Wonder Winder 2008-02-13
I purchased this Wonder Winder after Christmas when I took my outside Christmas lights down and I absolutely love it. It was easy to install and super easy to use. My wife and I both use it and we love it. Any friend who buys their first home will receive a Wonder Winder from us as a house-warming gift.

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.
Great invention 2008-06-24
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!
Could not live without my wonder wheel 2008-06-23
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.
Great way to store extension cord 2008-05-25
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.

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.
