Works well and easy to use. It’s flexible and I was able to custom mount it in my garage, which made a huge difference for me.
Overall, I’m satisfied with the EvoReel and would recommend it to others. But it’s not perfect… Here’s what I’ve observed:
PROS:
Easy to use
Charges quickly
Safe
Easy to install
Can be used indoors or outdoors
It has its own power switch
CONS:
The cable is too short, could definitely be longer and would make charging easier
No charging timer
No wireless capability or smart features at all
