The winding up of extension cords is something that most of us probably don’t give a lot of thought to – we loop them on the ground, spool them around our forearm, or perhaps use a spring-activated or hand-cranked winder. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time putting cords away, however, you might want to make the job safer and easier. That’s where Great Stuff’s RoboReel comes in. It’s a portable motorized cord winder, with some interesting features.
The 15-amp RoboReel comes with a user-replaceable 50-foot (15.24-meter) 12-gauge electrical cord and can be set on any flat surface, or hung on a wall or ceiling using optional mounts. It will begin winding that cord in at high speed, with the touch of either of two buttons – one is located on the uptake device itself, and one is on the three-appliance outlet at the end of the cord. To keep the tail of the cord from madly whipping around, however, the winder automatically slows down as it nears the end. The point at which it begins to slow can be programmed in by the user.
The RoboReel difference begins with safety. Unlike spring loaded reels which produce uncontrolled whipping action that can be harmful to anything in their path, RoboReel employs a motorized, two speed retraction system that slows down to dock eliminating whipping action. The RoboReel Cord Reel also includes redundant thermostats that prevent overheating and a possible fire hazard and thanks to its patented four wire technology, RoboReel will also shut down immediately if the cord is severed, preventing electrical injuries.
The RoboReel Cord Reel is a product with unsurpassed functionality. A simple touch of a button, on the end of the cord or on the unit itself, and the cord retracts nice and neat, every time. The reel can also rotate 360 degrees giving it maximum mobility and the product requires no assembly. It also comes with a heavy duty extension cord and a three outlet receptacle ball with a power on/off button, three LED indicator lights, and a retraction switch.
The RoboReel Cord Reel is available in both Portable and Ceiling Mount versions. The Portable unit is the only automatic extension cord reel on the market that can operate free standing, on a bench, or mounted on a wall with an optional mounting bracket. The Ceiling Mount unit, on the other hand, has a self leveling ball joint mount that is able to hang from horizontal, vertical, and diagonal surfaces.
The RoboReel Motor Driven Cord Reel is a product that was built to last. It is made with high impact designer plastics and is oil, gas, chemical, and UV resistant. It also comes installed with a heavy duty extension cord that is corkscrew resistant and includes replaceable “wear rings” that prevent damage to the plug face. If a cord is accidently damaged or severed the cord is easily replaced.
If garden hose reels are your problem, RoboReel is also promising a solution with the RoboReel Hose Reel 300.
From the first pull on the nozzle you'll feel the difference as the RoboReel’s power assist function senses your movement and engages the motor to provide an effortless withdraw. Once you reach your watering area, one touch of a button on the end of the hose starts the flow of water. When you are finished, simply hit the home button and the water will turn off while the hose winds in nice and neat, every time.
The RoboReel is the only hose reel product available today that comes with a remote control timer that allows the unit to operate completely unattended. If you need to top off your pool or water a needy shrub once a day for a month, simply set the remote controlled timer and the RoboReel will take care of the rest.
Each RoboReel Hose Reel comes installed with either 100ft. of 5/8" or 140ft. of 1/2" heavy duty, "Never-Kink" hose. The unit also comes with five nozzles that are easily attached to the hose via quick connects and an optional sprinkler can also be purchased. All connections throughout the system also have double O-rings to prevent leakage and water waste.
The RoboReel Hose Reel requires no assembly and can be attached to a faucet right out of the box. Its long lasting rechargeable battery is totally water safe and can last for an entire season under normal use.
