Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The robelle winch appears to be much more rugged and sturdy than the cheap winches that come with the pool covers. It's heavier, stronger, and with a much better ratchet mechanism than the others.

This is the second one i've purchased. Works well easy to follow instructions. Other than that it works fine.



Cons

The cable is functional, but the winch is horrendous. Instead of having a proper threaded bolt and washer on the back end of the crank housing, it's a cheap press-fit washer which, as soon as there's any flex in the housing will fly off.

Quality


Coating and cable seem top notch and was easy to thread through grommets for our pool cover.


Very well built compared to ones that have come with pool covers


Works well but 3 points: first, you have to be pretty strong to crank it down tightly.

Price


And less expensive then the pool store.


Wire was perfect size for my pool coverworth the money

Packaging/appearance


This one is just like the one that came with my pool cover.

Competitiveness


Hopefully it will be better than those cheaper ones.

    Second be sure to estimate length and cut off the excess before you start winding otherwise you cant wind it all the way down
