"I purchased this real a year ago and it has been hanging in my garage and what a step saver it is. I have used it to power my vacuum cleaner for the car, my shop vac and leaf blower to give me a little extra maneuvering room. It is a step saver that is really appreciated. When finished just roll back up and forget it until next time. Installation was a snap, and shipping was great. Couldn't be happier."

"Because I don't have many convenient outlets in my garage, I mounted one of these hanging down from a ceiling joist in the center of the area. The other reviewers are correct in that it does need a little help to get it to retract (just keep a little tension on the cord, and you might have to do pull it twice instead of once), and that the cord hangs out about four feet once it is retracted.
I keep an electric lawnmower plugged in to it all the time - it's nice not having a cord running across the floor - and when I need to vacuum the car I just pull the cord and the shop vac out onto the driveway and go to town. I MUCH prefer using the reel than having to dig out a 50ft extension cord from the bin and having to roll that up again when I'm done.
I'd definitely install another one if I had the need."

"I installed this unit near the garage door. It provides full current for large accessories that I use in the driveway and anything in the garage. My air compressor works just as well through this unit as being directly plugged into a receptical."

Good cord, but has limitations,

"This is a nice retractable cord, but the only thing that I'm disappointed about is the internal fuse it has pops too easily. I bought this because its heavier gauge than most retractable cord reels, but apparently the internal fuse wasn't upgraded or something. It can't handle my 110volt welder."

"Mounted in the center of my 40 foot shop, this retractable cord easily reaches all points plus gives me 20 feet in the front driveway and rear yard.. It shares a dedicated 20 Amp circuit with my garage door opener.
With 12 gauge wire, it can handle any tool I own. The reel is smooth and lays the cord evenly."
